    So my live name can be changed? I haven’t been able to do that but I can for my display name. If I can’t change my live name and I truly can’t do anything to rid myself of this tiny imperfection in my account that I would be able to change literally anywhere else. Apple, instagram, facebook, Snapchat for Christ sake all I wanna do is change my Skype ( live:) name

If I can’t unlink it then that would be my only course of action but how do I do it when I edit my profile it don’t give me the option to it’s says live: alex****** and I just don’t want ppl knowing my real name like that I just wanna change it

    Hi Dean, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    We can't unlink the Skype Profile from our Microsoft Account since they are the same.

    Please, check here for more information: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/fa12060/can-i-merge-or-unlink-my-skype-and-microsoft-accounts

    Have you tried to change your name on the Skype Profile?

    https://secure.skype.com/portal/profile

    It should work.

    If you want to, you can also change the account alias.

    Log in to your account with your current primary alias.

    https://account.live.com/names/manage

    On this page, you can add a new e-mail address and then select it as your primary by clicking on Make primary.

    Hello Dean,

    Your Skype Name cannot be changed, but you can change your Skype display name.

    I understand you wanted to change your display name.
