Chaning screen name difficulties

Hello!

I don't know if I have encoutered a bug or I'm jus out of luck here.

I'm trying to change my screen name and its becoming a nightmare. My screen name is currently my first name, a series of random numbers and ends with fcp (totally random for me anyway).

Of course I went to my profile and tried to change but whatever the name I pick, it doesn't let me.

A name with spaces? No. A name without spaces? No. My name + surname + my "Design" thing I use to have pretty much everywhere? No. My name + surname + "Design e Fotografia" which is basically a set of names I use to identify my "photography brand"? Hell no, has too many characters.

 

But the screen name change window doesn't tell me the requirements for the screen name, so I don't have a clue on what should I pick for it.

 

Thanks for the help!

    Maybe I could, haven't tried it. But I don't understand the type of name I can actually have. I mean, for the uniqueness factor, I already have my email to identify me at login. The "screen name" should be a regular "display name" even if it is similar to another user.

    If the system absolutely requires me to choose a unique name, and the unique names I remember are not allowed, then I need to know the specific for screen names, right? Maximum character count, spaces, no spaces, special characters, there is no indication at all in the options.

     I will try again. Thank you!
