Completely changing your name.

Hi guys,
I think that lichess really needs to make it so that you can completely change your name. For example, my profile name (@Fischer_and_Chips88) was quite funny at first, but now, after 5000+ games and about 8 months of lichess i have decided i want to completely change my name because the name kinda of makes me look stupid.

I am sure many of you would understand that making a new account would not be great as i would lose my amazing, juicy 5000+ games which i have spent quite a lot of time on. I am also pretty sure that lots of you would like this change to because i see some pretty cringe worthy names.

Thanks!!

I will give the instructions for how to do this from a computer:
Click your username in the top right corner.
Click "Preferences."
On the left hand side, you will see a list of options. Near the middle you will see "Change username."
I'm sure you can figure out the rest yourself :)
Hope this helps!

@Pr0crustes Completely change your username, not the weather it is lowercase to uppercase.

i.e: Pr0crustes to pR0CruSteS is allowed because i am only changing the caps, however, Pr0crustes to Chessplayer123 is not allowed.

I want to be able to completely change my name. I am sure many others would agree.

That's sad. My titled accounts are doomed to boring usernames...
