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. Chat logs will show display names if the option to view display names is selected.
You can change your display name once a week.
If you don't have a display name, the name above your avatar will default to your unique Second Life first name and last name.
