Profile name for the Apple community forums unknown

I just logged in for the first time to ask a question on the community forums and the name that was created for me is rude. How do I change this?

iPhone 14 Plus, iOS 17

If this is for the account that you are currently posting with here, then another user (level 2 or higher) may alert the Hosts (forum administrators), who may change the username for you. Users cannot change this themselves after the initial creation.

I’m not seeing anything rude, but such may be subjective.

I have alerted the Hosts. Expect an email message from them soon.

Thank you so very much!

When I first saw the name I was startled and offended. As I spend more time with title, the less difficult it becomes. I do not know where it came from!? My phone asked if I wanted to log to the communities using my Appleid and I said yes!

Poof! Living a Lie.

Thank you, again, for the kind help!

Your Apple ID wil never be displayed here for safety reasons - these are public forums, but you do need to sign in with your Apple ID. The user name displayed is either somethig you or the system made up and I have no idea why you would think yours is rude.
