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.
