I know your pain. My dyldo account was... unfortunately often banned from servers. (okay, only once, but everywhere I went people would comment on it's unusually juvenile name.). So, I gave up, and bought a new account, with a less silly name.
If only there was a name changing option on the main minecraft site...

When you register it should say next to the 'enter username' box that his is going to be the name used in-game.

I'd like to change my username too. When I bought the game, I put an interest of mine for my username. But now it's no longer an interest of mine. It's a sort of dumb reason, but still.

Wow. Nearly two years and still no solution? I feel dumb for searching this. The only problem with my name is that I accidentally had my first two letters caps instead of just the first one.

There's your answer.



EDIT: To everyone else: You typed in your username, your fault.

Thanks for being utterly useless.

Bumping the topic to keep the dream alive, I too messed up and they won't allow me to transfer ownership to another account, this is asinine.

I just looked in the help thing under change your user name and it no longer says in the future I promise. It now says choose wisely this is unchangeable. This was on my phone some confirm it says that on the computer. If this is true f*** you to notch ibout three accounts for me and my friends this is bull sh**.

I too would love this feature implemented

add me to the "I didn't know it would become my permanent in-game name" bunch

perhaps an alternative solution is just that, adding an in-game name field, kinda like Steam does

Yes, god yes. I'm unhappy with my name. Even though it looks fine to some, I based it off of a long forgotten alias of mine. Now I hate my IGN XD

GAWD, Notch. Impliment it nao!
Got Awesome? Yes I do. I very much do...

I'll voice my opinion on this too. Should defiantly have a display name that's separate from your username. Like how it's done on Steam! That would be the perfect solution!

Even though this is a very old post I'd just like to say that is exactly what I was thinking :P

Maybe this should should be taken as a life lesson to all of you; look before you leap. Or more accurately in this case; think before you type.
If you ask for +1, you're not going to get it. Don't be so needy; if your post deserves rep then I'll click the little arrow.

I wish he would let us change our names...
I made my account when I was 11, so I let Google AutoFill make my name, and guess what is was?

2 years later, I want to change it to what I have for my forums name.There could even be a system like Xbox Live's name change system.You gotta pay, but it's better than nothing.Free name changes would be nice...

Thanks Notch. :|

I just found what you said kinda funny cuz Minecraft was in early alpha when I made my account, and my friend reccomended Minecraft to me, so I was like lol, this game is gonna be terrible XD But its not. :P
