    Xbox account displaying my real name even though I said not to in the settings.


    What is says in the title. I have it set to not show my real name to friends or friends of friends at all, but my name still appears next to all my messages and on my profile. How do I fix this?

    :)

    it will show you your name obviously, but your friends won't see the name.

    Hello, since you have already selected for your name not to be displayed, I invite you to follow the steps on this link Real name sharing on Xbox | Xbox Support. After you change your settings try performing a power cycle on your console.

    Set login greeting to NAME not GAMERTAG (and display name in upper left)

    Make sure she has her setting set up to share her real name (support.xbox.com/.../real-name-sharing). The account.live.com website is used to change the name on
    her account if it doesn't display the correct name.

    The upper left of the console will only display the gamertag.

    Xbone June update detailed

    Forgot about the World Cup next month, personally I'd rather watch paint dry lol

    Can see a lot being pleased about external storage support so that's good.

    This real name, as I just posted elsewhere, I really don't see the point of this, I wouldn't display it, my friends know my name anyway and I certainly wouldn't display for random people to see even though you can set it for friends only.

    For me it's just a pointless feature.

    ^ Yeah, I don't like this either and assume it's there so the artificial intelligence can say "Welcome ******"
