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...

[eyekillpeople]

Mine tops all... mine is "inthenameofsatan"

[cewmen]

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.

[Sinen115]

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.

[CynicalEscapist]

I would like this option too. Soooo bump!

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.

[WarSnacker]

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**.

[Erikblack67]

i need to change my name aswell i had no idea that this was going to be on my multiplayer aswell i thaught it was just a username to login

[revolddoT]

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

[Aggressive Zone]

Im in to i used my normal login name for the game
and not my normal ingame name so this sucks ballsacks
well my name is not that bad but still its all lowercase etleast i want to make stuff uppercase

[michaelsk8]

Please....Notch FIX THIS...Ok It Is Obviosly A Problem..Is say Blast His twitter,Facebook Ect..It Needs To be Fixed

[MrRatermat]

Why would notch reply to any emails?! He's busy swimming in his cash!

[gibs09]

for sake of bumpage i too need a name change. no indication of it being my character name so i used name and numbers. i hate seeing numbers in my name.

[Rannug]

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!

[MCnoob808]

I NEED this.... i dont even remember WHY i chose my IGN, i just want it canged

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

[Rufus]

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.

[ChromeFusion44]

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?
John12345
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.
