Select ME from the bottom..select(tap) your account name...select edit account..you can either sign out of the apple I'd, or change the nickname which I think is what you mean.

After hundreds of tries I finally did it! Ok so first you have to go to SETTINGS, GAME CENTER, then click on your username. From there you can change it. If it doesn't work and it tells you to update it, you have to switch your internet or wifi. I had this problem and I was using my wifi so I switched to another and it worked!

@superpenguin9, the site isn't loading for me, i just get an internet error. But overall if i click on my email (which i wish i can swap with my dominant one), there is no update, or place to change my REAL name. But a thing to keep in mind is that I cannot get ios 7 due to the outdated ipod.

i am having problems with this also, i can change my nickname but it will still say another persons name as my name (the person who set my phone up, i know, dont ask) when people see me they see the other name and nickname not just one so changing the nickname for me is not working out how i wanted
