/w "@{selected|token_name}" ... It will only whisper to the owner of the token, which should be only you.

You can whisper them to your player name: /w "Andy K." [Notice}(~... Assuming you haven't changed it in that game.  If you have, you can use whatever you changed it to.

Thank you, but I have a formatting problem The character's last name appears TWICE.  How do I stop that? In Journal character name is Barka Murkit. On token it's Barka Murkit (Andy), but an additional Murkit appears.  I don't know why that's appearing

This is a fault with the /w functionality. It has the format /w <target> <message>. Unfortunately, character with two names (John Doe, for example) will have the first name be used for the <target> and the other names will be used in the <message>

Try to put it in quotes like my example, that usually works for tokens with two names.
