    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Provided you are referring to your 'FamilySearch' Account ...

    ▬ Go to Your "Settings", TOP "Right-Hand-Corner"

    ▬ Select You "Display Name"

    ▬ On the "Drop Down" Menu, select "Settings"

    ▬ The "Default" (ie. FIRST) 'Tab', is "Account"

    ▬ On that "Default" (ie. FIRST) 'Tab', of "Account"

    [ Or, simply select: https://www.familysearch.org/identity/settings/account

    ▬ The FIRST Section is "Names", select that "Edit", on the 'Right' of that heading.

    ▬ You can then "Change" any of those x4 "Names"

    Full Name ... ( Private )

    Username ... ( Always Private )

    Contact Name ... ( Always Public )

    [ A public name linked to your contributions enables people to send you messages ]

    Display Name ... ( Private )

    [ The "Display Name" is displayed on your 'FamilySearch' "Home/"Landing" page/screen ].

    ▬ Oh, and, do not forget to "Save", what you changed.

    ▬ Done.

    I hope this helps.

    Brett
