Your Name is the display name people see on your posts, and your Username is your unique @handle. You can update either one from your profile settings.
Change your name or username
Select Profile in the left menu (or your avatar in the app) and choose Edit Profile.
Next to Name or Username, select Edit.
Enter the new value and save your changes.
Before you change your username: usernames are unique, so your new handle must not already be taken. Once you switch, people will need to use your new @username to mention or find you — let your followers know.
Other things you can edit
While you're on Edit Profile, you can also update:
Photo — select Add Photo to upload a new avatar.
Bio, Location, and Website
Trading profile — Assets Traded Most Frequently, Approach to Trading, Primary Holding Period, and Experience.
Keep avatars within the House Rules — inappropriate images can lead to restrictions.
