In Genshin Impact, changing your name is a simple process that allows players to personalize their gaming experience. By following this article, you can easily modify your name to reflect your desired identity. So, let’s get started.

How to Change the Name in Genshin Impact

There’s a common thought that might cross your mind – how many times can you change your name in Genshin Impact?

There are actually no limitations on how many times you change the nickname in Genshin Impact whereas in most other games in this genre, the developer put you boundaries to quickly change the name. You can also change the namecard, avatar, and even signature.

Well, it seems that you’re eager to change or obtain a character nickname in Genshin Impact.

How to Change Nickname

Your in-game name or main character’s name is actually the nickname of Genshin Impact. So, when you like to change the name, it means you have to change the Nickname.

Here are the steps to change your Name/Nickname in Genshin Impact:

  • Launch the Genshin Impact game, and wait for it to fully load.
  • Tap on the Paimon menu from the upperleft corner.tap-on-the-paimon-icon-to-imitiate-menu
  • Press the Pencil icon beside your name.
  • Click on Edit Nickname. tap-on-the-pencil-icon-of-genshin-impact-and-click-edit-nickname
  • Provide your name and tap on Confirm.change-nickname-in-genshin-impact

That will change your Genshin Impact name, and you are free to change the name as many times as you wish.

Whether you play the game on a mobile device, PC, or PS4 the settings and procedures will be identical across all the platforms.

You can even rename Baladier Wanderer Scaramouch in Genshin Impact as you like. When you are completing the Archon quest, you can provide a name to the Wanderer, and there are two methods to do so.

The first one will be to choose the name in the Archon quest there is some dialogue with Wanderer and there will be the option to change her name in those dialogues.

The second method is after you complete the Archon quest, you will be rewarded with an item called Appellative Stroke, and with which you can change the Wanderer’s name.

Note: Make sure, you don’t use any abusive or erotic words as a name. Also, don’t use anything like hate speech. Using these types will affect the community and lead your account to a permanent ban, temporarily disabled or send you notice.

How to Change Namecard

Simply in Genshin Impact namecards are a unique background that showcases the presentation of your Profile, Friend List, Paimon Menu, and Co-Op Mode. When you first log in to the game, you received the Genshin Impact: A New World namecard as default.

And by completing new quests and raising ranks, you unlock new namecards and decorate your profile.

Here are the steps to change your Namecard:

How to Change Signature

Your Account’s Signature is a way to express yourself and let others know you better. You can use anything you like, such as – your hobby, or language.

As I use a unique signature to show others my dedication of mine to this game. This is the best way to put your imagination into words and let others see.

  • Press on the Pencil icon and tap on Change Avatar. click-on-the-option-change-avatar
  • Pick and press Use to change the Avatar. change-avatar-on-genshin-impact

So as you see, there are many changes you can make with a very easy process. Also, you may think, can you switch twins in Genshin Impact?

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.
