Change my Skype name

Can I change my skype name?

Hi, BurningFlare, and welcome to the Community, Unfortunately, no; a Skype name, once created, cannot be changed. You can change the name as it is displayed on the line in your profile, but not the Skype account name itself. Kind regards,Elaine

How to change my Skype name?

I want to change my Skype name, since it includes my first name in it, which can threaten my privacy. Are there methods to change my Skype name in my Skype account?

Hi, dor123,
Skype does not permit account names to be changed once they are created. This way, no recycling of account names can occur. You can, however, change the name displayed. Here is how to do this:

Hi,
Unfortunately we cannot transfer Skype services from one account to another.
You can try requesting a refund from Customer Service and place a new order on correct account.

Someone changed my skype name and deleted my conta...

I went on holidays for a week, next time i tried to log in, the system did not allow me to enter
i requested a new password, and to my surprise, my new name was: [Removed for privacy] , like a joke name..
so anyway.. i set a new password and enter my new [Removed for privacy] account..
with no contacts in it..
so i ask google if its possible to change back my [Removed for privacy] name, to a human one, and to my second surprise, its NOT possible
So... how this happend? if its not possible, some error in the system did it?
or this is really possible, but not allowed to "normal people"
I need to recover my contacts and my older Skype name
Please if you have a clue of what could have happen, help would be nice

It is indeed not possible to change a Skype username., so it seems that someone else may have created a new account under your email address. Unfortunately, Skype doesn't send confirmation or validation emails to the email address registered when creating an account.
you may now need to contact customer service for further for further asssistance in regaining access to your account. Just open the link pasted below to see the instructions on how to get in touch with customer service -

Hi, Anazens, and welcome to the Community!
Skype does not permit account names to be changed once they are created. Your only choice is to change the name as it is displayed, or to start over with a new account. Remember, you can transfer your contacts from your old account to your new account.
Please review the information in this FAQ article:
Can I Delete My Skype Account?
and then please contact Skype Customer Service to file your request as indicated in the instructions.

Elaine

How to change the Skype name to private

There are two names on skype, one is the on the profile which we can change. Another one is called skype name which is also the one we sign in with, it's unable to change, but publich can view the name. Is there a way to keep that name (skype name) to private? Thanks.

both Skype display name and Skype username are fixed to be visible to public. There is no option yet to hide them or make them visible to certain users only.

I want to change my skype name

If i wanna get a new name for skype
How i wanna get it ?

Dear Readers, A Skype account name cannot be changed once it is created.To start using a new account name, you would need to create a new account. To remove/close a Skype account, please see here for next steps:http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/How-Do-I-Close-My-Skype-Account/td-p/3146196 Regards,Elaine

Skype Name Changed (Yes! my Skype name. Not my Dis...

So i attempted to sign in with my original, as i believe, Skype name and password. They were both accurate. (Trust me. The ink was not smudged.) Sign in failed. Repeatedly. i asked for a reset of the password. Followed the procedure and reset my password. Sign in again failed. Repeatedly.
At this point i noticed that the Skpe Email reset was showing my account name but it was differrent by one character to my original, as i believe and had recorded, Skype name, i reset the password again and then using this new 'Skype name', with the altered character, signed in. Voilà! It worked.
Everything says you cannot change your Skype name. Display name, yes. Skype name, no. A new account is required if you want a new Skype name. So how come my Skype name has changed? [Since at least April 2013, (maybe even earlier).]
i would appreciate a Skype employee's response, thank you. Then i can go into the details by email.
Cheers, daor

Here's the deal: I have more than one apple ID. Actually many of us do. @ mac dot com, dot me dot com, over the past decade there have been lots o "Apple IDs" (as they're called).
So one was attached to my file syncing, another attached to my iTunes money. I still do not know how my wife's name got in there (maybe "family sharing with ios8 is trying to take over?), but I was able to fix it at least by logging into different IDs on different machines.
Good luck.

Change skype name without new account

HI I want to change my skype name to make it the same as my internet link but when I read information it says you need a new account. But my account is a paid international subscription. Since it is a paid one, can I change my skype name.

Hi, Healthclan,
To clarify, a Skype account name cannot be changed once it is created. This has always been Skype's policy.

Remove My Skype Name from Skype directory

I don't want to receive contact request from anyone who knows my name so I wanted to change my Skype Name and change my Display Name to stop people finding me with my full name on Skype.
But I read in this topic "https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA110/can-i-change-my-skype-name-or-display-name-in-skype-for-windo..." that It’s not possible to change my Skype Name. And If I want to have a different Skype Name, I will need to create a new account.
So I start looking for how to delete my present Skype account before creating a new one. And I followed all the instructions in this topic "https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA142/can-i-delete-my-skype-account". Now I need to remove My Skype Name from the Skype directory. I tried to contact Skype Customer Service by Email but they're having some problems at the moment.

Hi, Community14,
Thank you for your report. Please try contacting Skype Customer Service again, this time using a different web browser than you typically use.
Regards,
Elaine
