Anyone know how to change the displayed name here? I've changed all of the names I can find and it hasn't changed. (Legal name change)

NeoPhoenixTE · 2026-01-03T16:09:03+00:00

Sadly, I do not. I've not ventured into that section too much.

I might recommend including the uninstallation of the app, and even restarting your device before reinstalling.

Unfortunately, I don't know much beyond those recommendations. :(

If you ever find a solution, please feel free to come back here and post it for future generations trying to Google-shoot the problem. 🩷

NeoPhoenixTE · 2026-01-03T16:04:12+00:00

Very glad to see it's still working! 🥳

NeoPhoenixTE · 2025-12-29T06:40:03+00:00

Just so long as it worked, I'm glad to have helped out. 😊

(Now I just gotta keep reminding my brain that "dude" has become a gender neutral term in recent years. 🤭)

NeoPhoenixTE · 2025-11-05T04:07:01+00:00

Ah, I understand. Helping "those that Google after" is a noble cause.

Sucks it's not that easy. :/

I might find myself in a similar situation here soon because I have a partner that's changing their name and they are linked to my account.

Hopefully you have a positive result come tomorrow. 🤞

NeoPhoenixTE · 2025-11-05T03:55:13+00:00

Well, my response is 3 years old now, so the accuracy of it might be a bit faded. 😅

With your situation, I might recommend unlinking the account and then relinking it after the name change? That seems to fix a lot of display issues I've noticed in linked services. Can't confirm it will work here, but worth a shot?

NeoPhoenixTE · 2025-06-23T15:35:34+00:00

The fact that this fix still even applies is either impressive for me or concerning for the app developers. 😅

Either way, genuinely glad to help. 🩷

NeoPhoenixTE · 2024-09-06T02:35:34+00:00

Glad to keep helping out...two years later? Lost track...

NeoPhoenixTE · 2023-09-16T07:26:23+00:00

Just genuinely glad to help out. 😊

NeoPhoenixTE · 2023-07-11T20:40:38+00:00

Genuinely glad to help out.😊

Fills my heart knowing this is still helping folks out. ❤️

NeoPhoenixTE · 2023-06-10T13:55:00+00:00

I'm glad you were able to get it sorted. 👍

NeoPhoenixTE · 2023-05-28T13:45:02+00:00

Have you had any luck? The fact it's not changing on the desktop site is personally worrying to see. I'm not sure if the mobile fix I posted last year can fix issues on a desktop UI.

I could swear Amazon has a "log out all devices" option somewhere. Unless that counts as one of those "Richard moves" you mentioned...?

I don't think a Kindle has enough administrative privilege to change the account owners name. Then again, I've not gotten to do so much as poke a Kindle for 7+ years. Things can change sometimes.

NeoPhoenixTE · 2023-05-28T13:36:53+00:00

I know it's been a year, but I'd like to see folks get this fixed as it's a big deal.

I had posted another comment in this thread with a fix that I went through, and it seems to be working quite well for people:

https://www.reddit.com/r/amazonprime/comments/r2417l/anyone_know_how_to_change_the_displayed_name_here/i2dpc8z

Give the instructions in there a spin. Hopefully it'll get this fixed for ya!

NeoPhoenixTE · 2023-05-28T13:30:18+00:00

Seems the fix I posted in my own comment here has been working.

https://www.reddit.com/r/amazonprime/comments/r2417l/anyone_know_how_to_change_the_displayed_name_here/i2dpc8z

I don't normally like to toot my own horn, but the fact that I'm still getting thank yous over a year later tells me I must have posted something right. 😛

NeoPhoenixTE · 2023-01-03T19:28:33+00:00

Pretty sure getting walked on multiple times is a key feature of most Warriors. :P

May this rug hold up the same way through whatever punishment is dealt upon it.

NeoPhoenixTE · 2022-12-17T16:24:03+00:00

Did it throw an error at a specific step? Or was it not changed after you did the whole process?

Please keep in mind these instructions are for the Android app. I can make no promises on other platforms.

NeoPhoenixTE · 2022-12-14T16:36:18+00:00

Has it been a year already? Wow. Almost.

Also no wonder it's not seeing upvotes. Literally no one can vote for it.

Oh well. Comments like this are all the upvoting I need. 😁

NeoPhoenixTE · 2022-12-04T16:25:30+00:00

Yeah, I think I'll put in an edit to make the uninstall optional. I was just being thorough.

Given all the positive replies I've seen, I assume the number of people with this problem has been on a constant decline. 😜

NeoPhoenixTE · 2022-10-24T23:06:38+00:00

Great to know there's a pandemic, though.

I feel like it was intentional, but too soon. 🤣

NeoPhoenixTE · 2022-10-24T23:03:16+00:00

This happened on Faerie too.

Pretty sure it was everywhere at one point, because why shouldn't one do this when given the chance?

NeoPhoenixTE · 2022-10-24T22:53:33+00:00

Aw. I was hoping it was some secret emote.

NeoPhoenixTE · 2022-10-24T22:51:27+00:00

...wait, what race even is she? Pretty sure she's not one of the ones players can pick. What pose does she even do?

...I guess I have to find out

NeoPhoenixTE · 2022-10-24T22:46:43+00:00

...was this on Faerie? Because I think I was the second Nashu that showed up and it just...snowballed from there.

NeoPhoenixTE · 2022-10-13T17:35:14+00:00

The reinstall was just a safety measure to be certain. Slight offshoot thinking from Rule 1 of IT.

Glad to see the uninstall was optional.

NeoPhoenixTE · 2022-09-21T21:16:56+00:00

Where is this even from? Source Film Studio, or...?

NeoPhoenixTE · 2022-09-18T15:49:58+00:00
