Display names are a Roblox feature announced on the Developer Forum on February 9, 2021, and released worldwide on June 8, 2021. [1] The feature is similar to Twitter 's display names, where on the user's profile, their display name shows up. Then, under it, a handle with their username. Display names can be changed once every seven days. [2].
So, if you're looking for a unique Roblox username, then consider one of these:
The following steps are required:
What else should I know about display name changes?
Roblox Usernames for Girls:
Display Names are not unique and are free to change every seven days. They appear in places such as your profile, chat, search, people lists, or over your avatar's head whenever you visit an experience. If you choose not to set a Display Name, you'll default to your username.
Display names are back! The developers were quiet about it, but it is now officially announced that we will be able to change our Display Names once again.

The feature was first released on February 18, 2021, for one hour in Germany to test the feature to a relatively small audience. Players outside of Germany could have used a virtual private network to access the update. During this release, some players created display names containing inappropriate phrases or symbols.
Many users have criticized display names for making it easier to impersonate other players. Sometimes, games only show their normal username instead of the display name. In an effort to prevent impersonation, usernames of some famous YouTubers and administrators were censored in the May release of the update.
Sometimes, if a user gets a ban or a warning, the display name of their account will be reset to their username, even if the reason for the ban or warning is unrelated to the display name. However, this does not always happen.
Your display name and username will be visible on Roblox and associated experiences
Roblox now allows all users worldwide to change your Roblox account's display name in the account settings as a free feature. This is different than Changing a Username.
For example, on Instagram, someone’s handle or username may be @InternetHuman8675, but their Display Name could just be Internet Human or Katie or Name! A Display Name is whatever we want to be called, and however we want other Roblox users we interact with to identify us. While Roblox users will still be able to see our usernames, our Display Names will appear “in chat, player lists, or above your in-game character’s head.”
Roblox announced on Feb. 9 that Display Names will be coming to the gaming platform, and on Feb. 18 , Display Names were released for one hour in Germany, but they were then removed.
The gaming platform, Roblox, has over 150 million users, all with their own unique usernames. However, the Roblox developers announced on Feb. 9 that Display Names will be coming to Roblox, although they didn’t say when. This means that Roblox users will now be able to have their own Display Name and username.
Once Display Names come to Roblox, we’ll only be able to change them every seven days. However, this is way better than the current situation, when we can’t change our username at all (unless we pay).
Display Names will also need to be verified by filters so that they are game appropriate for all ages, and they’ll need to stay between three and 20 characters, so they’re not totally fair game but still much more freeing than usernames.
The other major difference between Display Names and usernames is that we’ll actually be able to change our Display Names. We might have signed up for a Roblox account randomly, picked some random username, and then were stuck with it because it costs 1,000 Robux to change (the equivalent of about $12), so Display Names will be our new best friend.
