not needed, if you own a group you can make a group rank with the desired name (NOT in the same refused font!) as long you have that group title active you'll be seen with a "normal"name.

Stay away for odd fonts and you won't have the issue in the future.  Stick to fonts that people can easily read and write.

And sometimes it will stick and look fine to some people, but look like nothing but a bunch of blocks to others.

I was also thinking it might be a fancy font issue - that's what it seems we see as the most common cause of the display name disappearing.  Sometimes you get lucky and it will work, other times something about the font or one of the fancy characters just doesn't agree with the viewer.

Did you use fancy font?  Viewers don't like that and seem to revert it back to your user name. 

Thanks for your input, everyone! I use a font from mess letters, but it's almost indistinguishable from the normal font. And thank you to the person who suggested using a group title instead, I didn't think about that.

Does anyone else have this problem?
Does it happen often, and for any kind of reason?
I absolutely despise my account name, and I'm stuck with it being my only name for a bloody week.

All of these are pretty good points, actually!

Yo! So I'm genuinly curious about something. There's still a lot of people who prefer to use the classic LL body and its "painted on" textures unironically when they have more than enough lindys to upgrade. I'm just wondering what people see in it. Personally I think it's terrible and the first thing I did when I had the lindens for it was move on to a mesh body. I feel like I've triggered everyone who still uses it but I'm just wondering. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Non-mesh vs mesh]

Mesh will always be superior in my opinion.

I might be a little biased myself, because I'm in the same boat as you regarding my opinions about mesh and non-mesh, but the latter typically looks god-awful to me.
