- Do not include addresses or personal details.
- Do not use words about hacking, politics, or links to other sites. You can only use “YT” for YouTube.
- Do not add special symbols. Usernames can have one underscore. No spaces are allowed.
- You can not use a name that already belongs to another account.
- You can not switch names between your accounts.
- Roblox does not give discounts for small changes like capital letters.
- Your account’s creation date stays the same after a name change.
