How do I change my display name?

Posted by: Sonorus on 25 September 2012

The display name is about the only thing I do not seem to be able to change in my profile. And true to life, Mr. Murphy and everything, it is exactly that which I wish to change. Any chances?

I don't think you can. If people could easily change names, mass confusion might (would?) result. Perhaps best is to create a new membership.

Report your post and see if the Admin can help you if you don't get a response to your original post.

That seems to be another one of Mr Murphy's catch 22s: It looks like you cannot report your own posts.

What's in a name? There doesn't seem to be much wrong with 'Sonorus'. 

 

If you want to change I think you have to resubscribe.

Sonorus is a lot more imaginative than mine... Wish I'd thought of something better, but I'm used to it now. Why change?

Sonorus, if you e-mail Naim and give them your three preferred usernames then it can be changed for you.  You should give three because your first and maybe even second preferred username may already be taken.

In that case, may I use Sonorus for a line of loudspeakers ?.

 

But why limit the change to your avatar name when you can create a whole new online persona with a life of its own, an "autonomous tweeting blog-bot that feeds on social content". Could be fun.
