So, no more juggling between Skype accounts henceforth, and no issues about losing your existing Skype contacts too. This arrangement minimizes the use of two separate accounts for professional and personal reasons, as your personal username can be ‘on’ for personal conversations and professional username for professional conversations. The display name is the one which other members on Skype are able to view and not the username, unless and until display name and username are the same, which is the default state. However, if you are using Skype largely for attaining professional objectives, office communication, interviews, business meets, etc., you had like your username to display your true name for easy and trustful identification. So, the username is something which is used for internal processing and the display name is something personal or professional, which can be arrived at, based on the need.įor instance, you are on Skype and you interact largely with strangers and do not want to expose your true name for potential stalking on other social media, you can use an adjective, alphabet-number mix or any something else as your Skype display name.

There is absolutely no restriction or limit to how your display name should be or how many times you are allowed to change the same in a particular time frame.
