I can't change my ea desktop display name

I tried to change my ea desktop display name but it keeps telling me, display name contains a prohibited word or character, but there were no prohibited words or characters in the name.

    @Classy_Human I found a solution.

    Go into C:/Program Files, find the EA Desktop folder, and delete it. Then go into Add or Remove Programs, find EA Desktop and uninstall it. Reboot your computer. Then, reinstall EA Desktop and change your display name. Worked for me. Hope it does for you guys.

    Worked for me, If it says EA is running and it wont let you delete the files in C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts, don't worry about it, go to your windows search bar and type add or remove programs, go in and find EA Desktop, uninstall and reinstall it and it should work. I didn't have to reboot my computer but if it doesn't work I would try that. Thanks Shuros3n
