Roblox is a gaming environment that is aimed at teens and youths. Users of this platform did have the app installed using different devices and operating systems like Windows, Web, Android, iOS, and Mac. It does not matter the platform one uses to access it. It all works the same way. Frequently, users find it challenging to change their Display Names and Usernames due to personal reasons but are not aware of how they could go about it. Let us know ‘How to Change Your Name On Roblox?’.
To be able to change one’s name, either Display Name or Username, one needs to follow some simple steps that this article poses to highlight. Understand that there are two different types of names on the platform. These are Display Name and Username. Both names serve different things in Roblox. Before I go ahead to show you the step-by-step guide to change either of them, let us, first of all, explain how Display Name and Username differ.
Display Name shows up when you try to dive into the different games on the platform, while Username, on the other hand, is what is associated with your account and won’t appear in certain areas.
Steps to Change Name (Display Name and Username) on Roblox
- Step 1
Access Roblox through your device by using the URL roblox.com.
- Step 2
Log in to your Roblox Account
- Step 3
Locate the SETTINGS icon (a gear-like icon) at the top right corner of your screen.
- Step 4
Click on the SETTINGS icon. A drop-down menu would display, which contains a list of menus; select the menu SETTINGS which is the first on the list. Doing this will take you to a new page where you see the inscription, ‘My Settings’ boldly written on the top-right corner of the page.
- Step 5
From the list of menus displayed like Account Info, Security, Privacy, Parental Control, Billing, and Notification, make sure the Account Info is what you click (by default, that will show up immediately after you get to the page). You get to see information about you like, Display Name, Username, Password and your Parent’s Email Address.
- Step 6
Since this article is focused on putting you through how to Change your Name, look for the pencil-like icon on the right-hand side of the Display Name, and click on it to see a Message Drop-Down Box show up with the inscription, ‘ Change Display Name ‘.
- Step 7
Highlight where you have your existing Display Name, delete it and input the new Display Name you would like to start using.
- Step 8
Click the SAVE button below it to effect the changes. Know that this can only be done one-time in every seven days.
Should you decide to change your Username too, the same approach is to be followed, but be sure you are clicking the pencil-like icon on the right-hand side of where you have the Username written this time. Also, know that, unlike changing the Display Name, which is free to do, this involves you having a minimum of 1,000 Robux to have this change.
How to Change Your Username for Free?
Everyone likes to have privacy, especially on a platform where you get to meet strangers from different facets; this could threaten one’s security should one decide to leave too many details about oneself on such a platform. Roblox knows this and respects its users’ privacy, allowing them to stay anonymous while still enjoying playing games and meeting other people without worrying about their privacy being threatened.
Some users, in the cause of registering, unconsciously gave out too many details about their identity, more so, made use of Usernames that contain personal information like date of birth, home address, and full name to form their Usernames, but got to notice their mistake later. They become acting conscious and worried, not having the freedom they would have wanted to explore, and best enjoy the platform. So, they decided to change their details like Display Name and Username, but after successfully changing their Display Name without being charged, changing their Username now becomes a worry since they will need to have a minimum of 1,000 Robux in their Roblox wallet to do so. This article is about unravelling a way to do so for FREE.
Having their users in mind and understanding the likelihood of such a situation, Roblox gives their users Time and Opportunity to do this free of charge. All you need to do is to contact their Customer Support if you want to change your Username for an important reason but do not have enough Robux to do so.
Why You Should Change Your Name on Roblox?
This freedom comes with being anonymous on a platform with many strangers coming together to explore a hobby and connect. A threat to one’s security and privacy is a threat to one’s life. So, it is wise always to stay anonymous when dealing with or using a platform to explore one’s hobby, like playing online games, without having one’s security threatened.
This and other reasons are enough to stay anonymous by changing some details like Name, Home Address, Username, e.t.c., which gives one’s privacy away, for you never really know who is who. Perhaps, you want your real friends, which you have a connection with outside the platform already, which also use the same platform, to easily identify and connect with you through the platform; still, it is only wise to just tell them your Username outside the platform for them to link up with you instead of actually filling out too many details about you that they could easily guess on the platform. It is safe to just leave out your personal details on such a platform.
How to Change Your Name on Roblox Mobile?
Some mobile users are worried about getting to change their name since they are not using gadgets like Laptops, Tab, e.t.c. to access the platform. If you are one, then this information is for you.
To change your name on Roblox Mobile, all you need to do is follow the same approach as was already outlined in this article. Methods to do so are all the same regardless of devices and operating system.
Nice Username You Can Use On Roblox
It is understandable that most users of Roblox want a unique and interesting Username for themselves, but in so doing, some end up using a Username that appears gibberish, making it uninteresting.
Note that Roblox only permits a maximum of 20-Characters to be used as a Username, i.e. to say, you are only allowed to use between one to twenty characters which could include letters, numbers, e.t.c.
Many Roblox users are guilty of using random and meaningless words as their Username, which in turn makes it appear too childish.
Without further ado, here are some simple guidelines to consider when choosing a good username for yourself on Roblox:
- Make it simple and short: This is direct and explanatory. You don’t have to use complicated words as a Username just to stand out. You can always use something of interest, like, your favourite colour, car, e.t.c. A good example could be “Bluesky123”. Just make it something memorable that your friends could easily remember and identify you with.
- Stay away from already saturated characters: There are some characters or words that are very common on the platforms, characters like “xx”, “oo”, “us”, “ii”, and the like. Example: ooTheLaw
- Avoid using numbers all through: On no account should you use only numbers as a Username. For example, “239305476”. Aside from that, your account would appear like a bot, and your friends won’t be able to memorize or search for them to link up with you. I believe you don’t want that.
- Do not use a Username that portrays you as a suspect or makes others suspicious of you: Some Roblox users are guilty of this, where in the cause of trying to stand out or be unique, they use a Username like “Hacker435”. You might want to avoid using names others would be wary of.
- You might want to use something that identifies with your personality, for example: “CalmGuy1”, “SimplyCool22”, e.t.c.
