ForrestChild 5,503 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 You can also change it inworld via your profile card. Just click the little spanner icon at the top of your profile Bear in mind that you can only change your display name once a week, unless you reset. Link to post Share on other sites
wesleytron 174 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Also bear in mind that the 'profile card' as shown above is from the third party Firestorm viewer and is not available to users of the default Second Life viewer. To change your display name in the standard Second Life viewer, follow these instructions (from the Second Life Knowledge Base): Setting or changing your display name You can change your display name once every seven days, but you can Reset it at any time, which makes it appear as your "classic" Second Life first name and last name, or your username. To set or change your display name: Log into Second Life. In the Second Life Viewer, click Me > Profile... or in the toolbar. Click Edit Profile. Click Display Name. Type the desired display name in the field under New Display Name. Type the name again to confirm. Click Save.

Magdalena Easterwood 0 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Is there a way to raise my display name up higher than it is? It overlaps my Unity meter and I can't read it. Thank you very much. Maggie Link to post Share on other sites

Other options would be to turn off displaying names altogether, or just turn off displaying your own name - play around with the options in Preferences -> General tab - Name Tags section.

I don't remember if this raises or lowers it, but either way it may help. Though it would definitely be easier to raise or lower your Unity tag instead. Link to post Share on other sites

You could pay the $40 odd plus one month premium to change your account name. you'll probably have to take the "Resident" last name if none on the list work with your inworld display name 1 Link to post Share on other sites
