You don't always think of the perfect username when you're making an account, and that definitely applies when we're talking about Twitter.
Maybe you want something fun, or just something with more of a ring to it, but you can't come up with anything. So you default to one of the basic suggested handles with your first and last name, and maybe a number or something...until one day it hits you.
Damn, that would've been the perfect Twitter handle, you think to yourself. I wish I could change it.
Well, random Twitter user out there, we're thrilled to tell you that you can, indeed, change it. Follow the steps below to learn how you can finally have the Twitter handle of your dreams (if it's not already taken, of course).

Even if your dream handle is taken, however, you can still change your display name. Your display name appears more visibly in bold next to your Twitter handle, and it doesn't matter if two or more accounts have the same display name (so it can't be "taken"). If you can't have the handle you want, maybe you can at least have this.
Here's how to change your Twitter display name:
And you're done! We hope your name is everything you wanted it to be.
