Viewerhelp:2.3.0/Display name

What is my display name?

Your display name is a name you choose. It will appear above your avatar when you're inworld, and other residents can see it. It is non-unique, since other residents may choose to use the same display name.

You can change your display name once a week.

If you don't have a display name, the name above your avatar's head will default to your unique username.

What can I choose as a display name?

Your display name can be anything that contains at least one script character (for example, a letter of the alphabet or number). It can use most Unicode script characters, spaces, and some punctuation characters. Your display name cannot be all punctuation or all spaces.

The punctuation characters allowed are: (') apostrophe (-) hyphen-minus (.) full stop (:) colon (·) middle dot (֊) Armenian hyphen (׳) Hebrew geresh (״) Hebrew gershayim ( ་ ) Tibetan tsheg (‐) hyphen (’) right single quotation mark (‧) hyphenation point (=) katakana-hiragana double hyphen ( ・ ) katakana middle dot
