Then I've seen mention elsewhere that you can't reserve seats more than 180 days out (my trip is in February). Could it be the same thing?
In the first name field try the following combinations with no spaces (assuming you are a Mr)

Firstname
Firstnamesecondname
Mrfirstname
Mrfirstnamesecondname

CX is very particular with how you enter the first name.
