When you start your World of Warcraft: Forever journey, you're tasked with creating your first character.
You get the option to pick your faction and race, and then proceed with customization. Once you're done creating your character, you'll be tasked with naming your character. This is the name that follows you as you explore Azeroth - but can you change it?
Let's discuss.
Can You Change Character Names in World of Warcraft: Forever?
As of this writing, there's no way to change your character's name in World of Warcraft: Forever.
When you create a new character, WoW Forever will ask you to create a first and secondary (last) name. Players cannot have the same name within your region - every character needs to have a unique, full name.
You have the option to hide your secondary name from your character's portrait, head display, or pets. Simply click Escape, then click Options. From there, head to Nameplates and then uncheck My Secondary Name.

There are rare times when Blizzard will force players to change their names. However, this will typically only happen if your character names break the game's naming rules. So, if your name contains profanity, hate speech, sexual references, or any drug or alcohol terms, you'll be flagged.
You'll also be flagged if your name impersonates celebrities, pop culture figures, or copyrighted brands. You also aren't allowed to use numbers, gibberish, or military/royal titles. If you're in a roleplay server, you have to ensure your name fits a fantasy setting.
