Re: Prohibited real name

I'm not having this issue as well. My ID is BeersBeDragons and I want my display name to be that. It keeps saying that its prohibited, so I figured it was the word "beer". I tried to mix it up, still prohibited. I took out beer and entered "BeDragons", Prohibited. Just "Dragons", Prohibited. What is going on?

    Hey @BeersBeDragons, if the username you are attempting to use is not being accepted then you will need to try a different one. There can be a number of reasons why a name is not being accepted and the best thing to do is to keep trying different ones.

  • I have the same issue as others, and I don't understand why when the EA ID accepted it I can't put it on my display name?

    Is that a bug or something?

    My EA ID is my gamer Tag for many years now but I can't use it with my display name.

    Same issue on my end. Trying to update my Display name to PhoggyPsych, but apparently, Display name contains a prohibited word or character. I've tried everything variation of the name. I've even put in the name "Joe" and get the same issue. I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but any name or combination of words, letters, and numbers triggers this response. What's going on here?
