How to change Apple Support Community username?

Okay, this story is gonna be a little embarrassing...


I used to play a lot of Among Us when I was younger, and when they introduced the random username generator, I picked a name that was exactly what I was looking for (or so I thought). I quickly made this my username for most platforms, completely oblivious to what it was meant for.


A couple of months ago, I was doing some research, and I discovered that my username and many other usernames using the same first four letters were being used for a gay dating site. I quickly changed my username on all platforms possible, except I can't change this one. I'm not gay and while I do support them (to an extent) and I believe they should be accepted into society, I am straight and I do not want to give the impression that I am using a gay dating site (no offense intended).


So anyone who can help, please tell me how to change my username.

Hello, Who are the "hosts"?, I just find that my full name is displayed on Apple Community posts without permission breaking my privacy rights, and there's no way to set another username or ask for not displaying my full real name on Profile settings. This is very delicate issue, Apple must provide measures to protect our identities on any of its platforms.

Did you read Limnos's answer above?


Unless you have a very unusual full name, it doesn't appear that it's displayed. I see "breslamares109".
