That’s actually not possible. Twins are your core personality. Hence, once you lock the character among the twins, your fate is also sealed with that character. So, you can’t change him/her through the game. You have to start a new game to change the Twins.
However, in the game, you will control a party of four characters and switch between them in the gameplay. You can change different characters, but can’t change the twins.
And that’s a wrap. Following these simple steps, you can easily change your name in Genshin Impact and give your profile a fresh new look.
