Username vs. Display Name: What's the Difference?

👤 Username (Permanent Handle)

  • What it is: Your unique account identifier (e.g., @CoolPlayer123)
  • Rules: 3-20 characters, letters, numbers, underscores only
  • Visibility: Shows in profile URL, friend requests, @mentions
  • Changes: Can change for Robux (costs increase with each change)
  • Uniqueness: Must be globally unique—no duplicates allowed

✨ Display Name (Cosmetic Label)

  • What it is: The name shown in-game and on your profile (e.g., "Cool Player")
  • Rules: 3-50 characters, allows spaces and more symbols
  • Visibility: Appears in games, leaderboards, chat
  • Changes: FREE to change once every 7 days
  • Uniqueness: NOT unique—multiple users can have same display name

💡 Pro Tip:

If your desired username is taken, you can still use it as a display name for FREE! Save your Robux and just set it as your display name in Account Settings → Profile. Other players will see it in-game.

Username Change Cost Calculator

Roblox charges Robux to change your username. The cost increases with each change to discourage frequent switching.

Change NumberCost (Robux)USD Equivalent*
1st Change1,000 R$~$12.50
2nd Change1,000 R$~$12.50
3rd+ Changes1,000 R$~$12.50

*USD equivalent based on standard Robux pricing without Premium. Display name changes are FREE (once per week).

⚠️ Important:

Username changes are permanent and cannot be undone. Your old username becomes available for others to claim. Double-check spelling before confirming!

Username Rules & Requirements

✅ Allowed

  • Letters (A-Z, case-insensitive)
  • Numbers (0-9)
  • Underscores (_)
  • 3-20 characters total
  • Must start with a letter

❌ Not Allowed

  • Spaces or special characters (!@#$%)
  • Profanity or inappropriate words
  • Impersonation (official accounts, celebs)
  • Phone numbers, emails, personal info
  • Starting with numbers or underscores

Common Username Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Don't Do This

  • Using your real full name (privacy risk)
  • Including birth year if you're underage
  • Copying popular YouTuber names
  • Random keyboard mashing (asjkdhaskjd)
  • Too many numbers (Player123456789)
  • Inappropriate references or slang

✅ Do This Instead

  • Create unique combinations of words
  • Use nicknames or aliases
  • Add aesthetic words (Vibe, Core, Soft)
  • Keep it memorable and pronounceable
  • Test how it looks in-game before buying
  • Check if similar names are taken

Why Usernames Get Filtered

If a username shows as "unavailable" but you can't find anyone using it, it's likely filtered by Roblox's automated system:

  • Profanity filter: Contains banned words or phrases (even partial matches)
  • Personal information: Looks like phone numbers, emails, addresses
  • Trademark protection: Brand names, celebrity names, official titles
  • Historical bans: Previously belonged to banned accounts
  • Reserved names: Held by Roblox for staff, events, or future use

💡 Workaround:

Try adding numbers (CoolPlayer2025), underscores (Cool_Player), or slight variations (KoolPlayer). Our suggestion engine helps with this!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often can I change my username?

A: As often as you want, but each change costs 1,000 Robux (~$12.50). Display names can be changed for FREE once every 7 days.

Q: Can I get my old username back after changing?

A: Not guaranteed. Once you change your username, it becomes available for anyone to claim. If someone else takes it, you'll need to contact them or try to reclaim it if it becomes available again.

Q: Why does this tool show "available" but Roblox says "taken"?

A: Roblox's official API may have slight delays (1-2 minutes) or the username was just claimed. Always verify on Roblox.com before purchasing Robux for a name change.

Q: Can I use special characters or spaces in my username?

A: No for usernames (only letters, numbers, underscores). Yes for display names (allows spaces, some special characters).

Q: What happens to my friends/groups when I change my username?

A: Nothing! Your account stays the same—friends, items, Robux, groups all stay. Only your @username changes. Your User ID never changes.

Q: What are the best rare/OG Roblox usernames?

A: Short 3-4 character usernames (like "Max", "Kai", "Luna") and single-word names ("Shadow", "Phoenix") are considered rare/OG. Most were claimed in 2006-2010. Your best bet is adding creative suffixes or using the display name feature.

Q: Can I sell or trade my Roblox username?

A: No. Selling or trading usernames violates Roblox Terms of Service and can result in account termination. All username changes must be done through official Roblox settings with Robux.

Q: How long do I have to wait to change my username again?

A: There's no waiting period between username changes—you can change it immediately if you have 1,000 Robux. However, display names have a 7-day cooldown.

Q: Why does Roblox charge so much to change usernames?

A: The 1,000 Robux fee discourages impersonation, username hoarding, and frequent identity changes. It also helps maintain account history and reduces moderation burden. Display names are the free alternative.
