How to change your character name in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact allows you to name your main character however you like, allowing you to fit into the game world or treat the MC as a separate character in the same way. However, the name you give to the MC is not permanent and can be changed at any time.

If you find yourself needing to change pace and want to change your main character's name, it's a simple process. And best of all, unlike other games that may charge you to change your display name (since your display name is shared with your main character's name), you can repeat this process as many times as you want.

All you have to do is look at the top left of the screen and click on the Paimon icon. Once you reach the menu, you will notice your character's name at the top of the screen. There is a pencil icon next to your character's name. Clicking on this will bring up several options, ranging from changing your profile to changing your nickname. Click "Change Nickname" to change the display name and character name.

Once you've done that, the change will be reflected immediately. As stated earlier, you can repeat this process over and over, so if you feel like changing it again, there's no pressure.

The change will actually be reflected in the game as well, changing the name of your main character if he is in your party. So not only does this serve as a way to change your display name, but you can also go ahead and make a little difference in your gameplay. (You can see the reflected differences below.)

Final report: This is not the same as changing yours username. Tuo display name e name of the main character they are what you and other players have seen in the game. Your friends, for example, will see your display name instead of your username. Your username is what you use to log into the game. If you want to change your username, you need to contact miHoYo and submit a request.

Also note: The display name and main character name cannot be different. For example, if you want to name your main character Aether (her canonical name of hers), but you want to present yourself as something other than your friends, this is impossible.
