You can’t unless it’s inappropriate. Look at my name, yours is better.

EDIT: They can change the capitalization of letters if you like, e-mail support@kongregate.com

Your account is really new, you haven’t earned any badges or have any friends/fans so its probably best for you to make a new account with the username you want.

I think inappropriately named accounts would just get banned.
Create a new account, it’s easy!

It leads to too many broken links and confusion so Kongregate stopped doing name changes long ago.

They do, but then they’re offered the chance to get their name changed so that they can keep the same account and all of the content on it.


Since you’re not attached to the name, and you haven’t done an awful lot on the site since you signed up, I’ll have to agree that making a new account is the way to go here.

You can’t change your username, though you can change the capitalization. You can contact support@kongregate.com or leave a shout or private message to an admin for the capitalization change.

As shown here.


However, since this account you’re posting is relatively new, simply create a new account with a username of your desire (as stated above).
