How To Change Your Name In Clash of Clans

Did you just come back from a six-year break from Clash of Clans to see that your account is named as something cringey you chose when you were 12? Back in the old days, you couldn’t change your name in Clash of Clans, but now you can!

Requirements To Change Your Name In Clash of Clans

Before we get to the actual process of changing your name, there are a few requirements you need to meet before you can start changing your name.

Your Town Hall Level Has To Be 5 Or Above

The main requirement you need to change your name in Clash of Clans is to have at least a Town Hall level of five. Supercell has added this requirement to prevent the constant creation of alternate accounts, and they want you to have at least played the game until Town Hall level 5 to change your name.

If you’re a beginner and are changing your Clash of Clans name for the first time, you will be able to do it for free. However, if you have changed your name before, you will need to have some gems ready to spend on changing your name. The prices for changing your name will be covered later in the article, so stay tuned!

  3. Look for the buttonthat says “Change Name” and click it

And that’s it! If you have a sufficient amount of gems to change your name, the process should be smooth and straightforward.

Can You Change Your Name More Than Once?

The answer to this question is yes, you can. As we’ve mentioned earlier, you can change your name for the first time for free, but the second time onwards will cost you gems. Here are the calculations for name changes.

Name Change #

Cost In Gems

First

0 (Free)

Second

500

Third

1000

Fourth

1500

Fifth

2000

If you were able to see the pattern, every name change would cost you 500 more gems than the previous one! If you need some quick gems, we have the perfect article for that!

Remember that you will need to wait seven days before changing your name again, as this feature has a cooldown.

Contacting Supercell For A Free Name Change

If you want to change your name again but don’t want to spend the gems, there’s a method you can use that might work for some people. You can try contacting Supercell and come up with a reason why you want to change your name. For example, maybe your brother snatched your phone and changed it without your permission.

If you’re lucky and Supercell support is feeling nice, they might allow you to change your name for free.

Limitations To Your New Clash Of Clans Name

Supercell has set some limitations to the names you can choose for your new Clash of Clans names:

  1. You cannot use special characters such as emojis and symbols. Names with emojis and symbols can cause bugs in the game, so Supercell has chosen not to allow players to use them in their names.
  2. You cannot use inappropriate names, which can include insults, racism, or vulgarity. Names like these are not allowed for obvious reasons. If you see any players with inappropriate names, you can report them to Supercell.
  3. Supercell has the right to change your inappropriate username and give you no compensation in return, so make sure you follow the rules!
