Editing user name

I am relatively new here and trying to be polite and active.
Am not sure if this is the right place to ask this query…

Is there a way to edit my Username (for ensuring me more privacy)? I want to edit it to a shortened form of my present user name with a few numerals in it.

Thanks in advance and regards to all.

You can’t change it yourself, but you can ask for it to be changed. (I don’t remember whether a regular Moderator can do it or whether it takes someone with more superpowers than that.)

At least in the past, they’ve been happy to grant one name change, but not multiple changes (without a good reason), so make sure you’ve decided what you want your username to be before you ask for the change.

Thank you for the reply and suggestion.

I believe such requests go through @engineer_comp_geek at this point.

I just invited him to the thread and will check our moderating notes in the meantime.

I also moved the thread from Site Feedback to About This Message Board.

If you want your user name changed, send me an email at EngineerCompGeek@gmail.com from the email that is on your Straight Dope profile. Make sure to include the exact name that you want to change it to.

Sir,
I sent the email from my email registered with sdmb and also mentioned the new user name I would like.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Asha

Thank you for the prompt response,
Regards.
