If you send an email to someone via Gmail, the email recipient will see your name and email address. However, there is no need to have the name displayed in your email. If you want, you can easily change your name displayed in Gmail.
Although the display name can be changed, Gmail's username cannot be changed, meaning you cannot change your email address if you want. If your email is johh@gmail.com then john is the username here which you cannot change. If you want a new email address or username, you need to open a new account.
Let's take a look at the reasons why Gmail may need to be renamed.
- If the Gmail account name is entered incorrectly when opening the account
- If you only want to display your first or last name in the email
- If you have legally changed your name
- I want to add a name to your middle in the email with the name displayed
- If you want to use a shorter version of your name
Let's learn how to change the name of Gmail.
- First, log in to Gmail's website
