You can't really change usernames on scratch. The only way you can like change usernames is by creating a new scratch account i guess

The only way to change a username would be to contact the ST, but this probably wouldn't work.

The only way you could possibly get a name change is if your username broke the rules in a non-extreme way.

A couple years ago my original username got my account deleted. I emailed the ST and they let me change it. Account fixed!

So if your name has personal information, or something troubling then it may be changed.

GENERAL INFORMATION
9.1 Changing usernames or changing display names
If a user could change their username (or even set a certain “nickname” or “display name”), 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 contains personal information or causes gender dysphoria. Generally, the Scratch Team does not change usernames on request (including for reasons such as “I do not like my current username anymore”).

Changing usernames is a rejected feature for these reasons. Even if you contact the ST they will probably not change it unless it contains personal information. I would suggest making new account if you wanted to change your username.

I don't think @CharPikMar meant that only New Scratchers can post on the forums.

That's crazy also we have an answer: You can't unless it's associated with gender dysphoria / personal information.
