Your chosen name can use letters (A–Z or a–z). It can also use an apostrophe, hyphen, or period. Xfinity may reject or remove a chosen name if it is rude, harmful, or vulgar. Xfinity may also remove a name that gives false information about who you are. For example, you cannot use a name that makes people think you work for the police or another government group when you do not.
You can have your chosen name, pronouns, or both show in the Xfinity app or on xfinity.com. Follow the steps below to make the change. You do not have to add a chosen name or pronouns. If you do not add them, Xfinity will keep using your legal name.
Changing your name in the app isn’t a legal name change. Change ownership of an Xfinity account.
