How To Change Only Xbox Real Name

FinestBeast · Jun 14, 2020

How do I change my xbox real name without it changing the real name of all the other assosciated sites (When I created my Xbox account I didn't have a Microsoft account so I used the email of my dad which is associated with his name).

You can't. The real name is taken from the Microsoft account, so changing that would change it on any service that uses the Microsoft account.

Hello FinestBeast,

The most apparent solution to this problem is to make a new gamer profile. Sadly, the real name is associated with the real name of the Microsoft account the gamer profile is set up with. You can choose to stop sharing your real name as a temporary fix by
following these steps:

On the Xbox App:

Press the Xbox button to open the menu.
Select your gamer profile from the menu.
Select name sharing settings.
Scroll down until you see a button that says sharing.
Tap the button so the dot is on the left, and it says
not sharing.

You may also choose to share your real name with certain accounts on the same page.

Hope this helps!
