How to change your username (or real name):
Changing your name is easy! Visit your Twitter Account settings to change either your real name and/or username.
-
Log in to Twitter.com.
-
Click on the person icon and select Settings from the drop down menu.
-
Change the username listed in your Username field on the Account settings page.
-
To change your real name, go to the Profile tab in your settings, and type in a new name in the Name field.
-
Save your changes.
NOTE: Changing your username will not affect your existing followers, Direct Messages, or @replies. Your followers will simply see a new username next to your profile photo when you update. We suggest you send out an update to your followers before you change your username, because any @replies or Direct Messages sent to your old username will not be associated with your account once you've switched to your new username.
