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 Second Life first name and last name.

What can I choose as a display name?

Your display name can be anything up to 31 characters, 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
