putting the title in the header for an article

Question

For various reasons, I need to put my name and title in the header of a LaTeX document. The reason is I have a page limit and need the extra space which is taken up by \maketitle. Does anyone know how to do this? For reference, I am using the standard amsart document class.

What I have tried so far is to use the package fancyhdr and then writing

\pagestyle{fancy}
\headheight=14pt

\fancyhf{}

\lhead{name}
\rhead{title}

in the preamble, but I cannot get the header to appear on the first page (the desired header appears on subsequent pages). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Including \thispagestyle{fancy} adds the title to the first page:

Notes:

• The lipsum package was used just to provide dummy text. It is not needed in your document.

Code:

\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\pagestyle{fancy}
\headheight=14pt

\fancyhf{}

\lhead{name}
\rhead{title}
\thispagestyle{fancy}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-10]
\end{document}
