Q: How to change my apple support communities ursname?

When I signed up here, Apple didn't let me register any other ursname than "annafromlivorno". I don't like it that it shows the city I'm from, I feel uncomfortable and would like to change the name if possible, or if it isn't, I'd like to delete this account and create a new one.

Is either of these options possible?

Thank you,

    You can't change your username,nor delete an account on here yourself, only the hosts can potentially do so - I've passed your request onto them

    I will alert our gracious Hosts as soon as I finish this posting.

     

    You said "When I signed up here, Apple didn't let me register any other ursname than "annafromlivorno". ..." - Please verify that you were somehow "forced" by the system to take that UserName. If indeed your were "forced" = SOMETHING is broken. To fix it, the Engineers must be able to recreate the exact conditions in which it happens.

     

    You are not the first (by far) to make this statement. In every attempt to recreate that specific "lack of choice" event in creating a New Apple ID Account, I am unable to be NOT be presented first with a Blank Field where I would type in my choice of a userName. If I choose a name that is already taken, the system presents me with a "suggestion" FirstNamefromCity (from the fields I entered earlier)
