How to add or change a display name on Roblox
Adding a display name to your Roblox account may seem tricky, especially for those who play onmobile devices, but it’s actually quite simple! All you need is your PC, phone, or tablet, your account’s login info, and access to the Roblox app or website.

What’s the difference between a display name and a username?
Roblox usernames are the unique identification names that players choose when signing up for an account on the platform for the very first time. To have a successful username, it must be unused and meet Roblox’s community guidelines/standards. In most cases, Roblox will suggest a variation of your username, due to your original choice already being in use. For example, if you try the username FlyingEmu and it’s taken, Roblox will suggest something similar to FlyingEmu4938572.

This is when Roblox display names come into play. If you were to begrudgingly bite the bullet and take FlyingEmu4938572 as your Roblox username, you’re able to then make a display name of just FlyingEmu to be rid of the pesky numbers. Display names don’t require individuality between users, so, unlike with usernames, an endless amount of players can have the same display name.
To put it simply, display names are typically viewed as a player’s social or role play name; the name that’s preferred to represent a Roblox avatar/character. If I wanted to, I could add a display name that’s more personal (such as “Grace,” my real name), which would indicate to other players that that’s what I want to be called in-game and on the platform in general. Never put your full name or any personal information as your display name, though!
