Solution to a rejected suggestion: Nicknames

gdfsgdfsgdfg

It can be used for something

for example like rping in studio or what

and it will show your real name in the profile so

no one gets confused

my first mockup for my suggestion

if you don’t have a display name the display name will be set as the real name

Im in my ipad

and it filters just like the username one

also there is a feature where you can’t use someone elses name so no one can get confused

for projects, studios, comments and notifications

you can tell if someone is impersonating by the real name

This is rejected.

8.1 Changing usernames
If a user could change their username (or even set a certain “nickname”), this could be very confusing for the Scratch community, especially for those following that user. In addition, this would make moderation of the website more difficult because it would be harder for the Scratch Team to keep an eye on what a user may be doing. The Scratch Team has allowed username changes only on very rare occasions, such as if the username contained inappropriate content or personal information. Generally, the Scratch Team does not change usernames on request (including for reasons such as “I do not like my current username anymore”).

However, because of the way that usernames are stored on the server, changing the cases of letters in your username (for example, changing @Za-Chary to @ZA-CHARY) is NOT rejected; you can discuss it on this topic.

It would show up on comments too.

Nicknames were already rejected as it would be confusing for the community and for the moderators.
