your name on your Bumble profile can make you anxious.<\/p>\r\n<p>A common issue with names on Bumble is when the name that is displayed on your Bumble bio is not correct. The reason for this might be that you have mistyped it when you signed up for the service <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/bumble-without-facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">without using your Facebook account<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you have signed up for Bumble by using your Facebook account, a wrong name might be displayed in your Facebook account and Bumble imported your wrong name from there.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fake_name_on_Bumble\"><\/span>Fake name on Bumble<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Another common issue that might make you want to change your name is that you might have experienced some online harassment because of your Bumble profile, as some people might have managed to contact you through you social media profiles. A good way to avoid this is by disconnecting your Instagram from Facebook or to use a fake name on your Bumble profile.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_name_on_Bumble\"><\/span>How to change your name on Bumble?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>To change your name that is currently displayed on Bumble, you have to think back on how you signed up for the app.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you signed up with Facebook, you have to go back to Facebook and change your name there so Bumble can import your right name.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you signed up for Bumble without Facebook, only using your phone number then it doesn\u2019t matter what name your Facebook account displays but there is still a way to change your name on your Bumble profile as we will show you.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_name_on_Bumble_if_you_signed_up_with_Facebook\"><\/span>How to change your name on Bumble if you signed up with Facebook?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>If you signed up for Bumble by connecting it to your Facebook account, Bumble imports your name, your age and other personal information like job or education from there, so the signup process is smoother and easier.<\/p>\r\n<p>This also means that you have to change your name there if you want to edit your name on your Bumble profile. Here are all the steps you have to take to achieve this:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Go to Facebook.com and login to your account<\/li>\r\n<li>Click on the down arrow in the upper right corner<\/li>\r\n<li>Click on &#8220;Settings and Privacy&#8221; then &#8220;Settings&#8221;<\/li>\r\n<li>The first thing you can see is your name, click on &#8220;Edit&#8221;<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-826\" src=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Change-your-Name-on-Facebook.png\" alt=\"Change your Name on Facebook\" width=\"413\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Change-your-Name-on-Facebook.png 535w, https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Change-your-Name-on-Facebook-300x204.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/><\/li>\r\n<li>Change it to what name you want to display on your Bumble profile (the first name is what matters)<\/li>\r\n<li>Click on \u201cSave changes\u201d<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>Your name won&#8217;t be changed right after you changed it in the Settings page, this name change request first has to be approved by Facebook that can take up to 24 hours.<\/p>\r\n<p>Once the Facebook Support Team has approved your name change, it might take a couple of minutes in some cases days for Bumble to synchronize your profile name with your Facebook account and display your new name on your Bumble profile.\u00a0 (maybe you can help the update by logging out and log back to see the updated age).<\/p>\r\n<p>If your name still hasn\u2019t changed after you made the steps we have outlined above or Facebook didn\u2019t approve your age change request, try to change your age following the second method.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_name_on_Bumble_when_you_signed_up_with_your_phone_number\"><\/span>Change your name on Bumble when you signed up with your phone number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>If you didn\u2019t use your Facebook account to sign up for Bumble, it doesn\u2019t make any sense to change your name on Facebook, as Bumble is using the name you have added when you signed up for the app using your phone number.<\/p>\r\n<p>In this case, you have two options.<\/p>\r\n<p>The first one is to <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/bumble-contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact Bumble Support team<\/a> directly by sending them an email or contacting them via this <a href=\"https:\/\/bumble.com\/help\/does-bumble-customer-support-have-a-phone-number#contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">contact form.<\/a> In the first step, select &#8220;Report a technical issue&#8221; and in the next section where you can add context to your issue, explain your situation that your name is wrong on Bumble and ask them to change it.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-778\" src=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Bumble-Contact-Form-1.png\" alt=\"Bumble Contact Form\" width=\"396\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Bumble-Contact-Form-1.png 628w, https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Bumble-Contact-Form-1-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>You can also check out this video that also explains this second method of changing your information on Bumble.

Although it might be against Bumble&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/bumble.com\/terms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Terms of Service.<\/a> But in most cases, Bumble has no way of checking your real name, catch you and ban your account because you are using a fake name or persona on Bumble.<\/p>\r\n<p>You can even <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/bumble-verification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">verify your profile on Bumble<\/a> with the fake name and <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/blue-checkmark-on-bumble\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">get the nice blue checkmark on your Bumble profile<\/a>. All you have to do is take some selfies and the Bumble Support team will verify your profile.<\/p>\r\n<p>The verification process doesn\u2019t check your whole identity like your name or age, they only make sure that your profile photos on Bumble are real and belong to the person who is sending the messages.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_fake_your_name_on_Bumble\"><\/span>Should you fake your name on Bumble?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Ok, you can display a made up name that is not your real name on Bumble. It is another question if you should do that.<\/p>\r\n<p>We think that it is okay to display a fake name on your profile if other aspects and details of your profile are real. You might have good reasons to do fake your name on your Bumble profile<\/p>\r\n<p>One of the big problems on Bumble, <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-vs-bumble\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tinder<\/a> and on similar dating apps that hasn&#8217;t been really solved are the safety concerns of users. On these popular online dating apps it is sometimes really easy to stalk people, find them through their social media profiles, and then harass them online and even in real life.<\/p>\r\n<p>You might have a rare first name that makes it easy for anybody to find you on Facebook or Instagram, or you are just simply uncomfortable sharing your real first name. In these cases, it can be reasonable to display a fake name on your Bumble account.<\/p>\r\n<p>So when you are concerned about revealing your real name on Bumble as you might be very easily stalked and you might \u00a0have been harassed online before, you can use the techniques we have outlined above.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1593528649054\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_change_my_name_on_Bumble\"><\/span>Can I change my name on Bumble?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, you can change the name that is displayed on your Bumble profile.
