Q: Changing my Apple Support Communities user name

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3341218

Change Apple Support User Name

You cannot change your ASC ID.  Whether or not you like it, "No," is the answer.

http://www.apple.com/support/feedback/ - Online Support Feedback - "Use this form to tell us how we can improve our resources on apple.com/support or report any problems you experienced finding online support information or using our tools."

As for the other aspect of this question which you actually revealed in your post to the link I provided:

Change AppleID - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/  then > Manage Your Account

To continue to change it for iTunes:

Select the iTunes store in iTunes.

Click the account name at top right, sign out then sign back in.

It did answer the question.

The answer is you can't, you can only start afresh with a new ID and leave your existing account to fade away.

I left some feedback to Apple Support refering back to this disscusion as well, I too would like to just change my user name not my Apple ID..

Same problem here.

I wanted to change my full name because if you google it, forum apple forum discussions are found ..

Was a bad idea to register with full name instead of pseudonym.

But there is no way to do it as we have seen ..

The excuse that is somehow tied to points , or that those matters is nonsense (Ive gotten advice from nubes,zero points,  that saved my bacon ). The hosts can track these names easily through the apple ID they make you use to sign in. It's no big deal and not allowing changes is kind of infantile  IMHO. Just like you, the hosts can pull up every post you made. Every single one by the Apple ID alone . Finally , the user name should be aligned with the Apple ID. If you change that name (associated with credit cards charged by apple) there should be no problem aligning it with that name. In fact, it can be discriminatory towards spouses who legally change their name or transgender people who do the same. Starting a new id is ridiculous because you wont be able to associate it with your Apple ID that I know of.

And no, this is not my real name

Thank you to the hosts for changing my name YAAAAAYYY!

I would like my user name changed to my real name: Adam *****, not khs1985a anymore.  I have been able to do this to all my other online accounts of now, except Apple.
