Hey there, I have a quick request. Is there any way I could get my username changed? I’d really prefer something that doesn't include my full legal name. This account is about ten years old now, and honestly, it's becoming a bit of a privacy nightmare—whenever someone types my first and last name into Google, all my posts from this site pop right up in the search results. It's not ideal. Could we maybe switch it to something like IMIH93, or pretty much anything else, as long as it stays away from my actual name?

Unfortunately, you can't. The rules say your handle has to stay recognizable even after an update. If you're looking to go totally anonymous with a brand-new nickname, your best bet is to just retire this account and start fresh with whatever name you want.
And how exactly do I go about "retiring" it?
Stop using it. Simple as that. Just walk away. 😉
