Hello Scratch Team,

I hope you're doing well. I have a feature request for Scratch. It would be great if users could have the option to change their usernames. Sometimes people choose a username when they are younger and later want something that fits them better.

Adding a username change feature, even if it could only be used once or with some limits, would make it easier for users to keep enjoying Scratch without needing to create a new account.

Thank you for reading my suggestion and for all the work you do on Scratch!

Sincerely,

Welcome to the forums. Features should be suggested in the Suggestions forum. Regardless, this is a rejected suggestion:

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”). For more information, see this post.

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.

Oh Alright
