If you do not know how to change the name "Vkontakte", then this article is just what you need.
Why do we even think of changing the name? Most likely, once you registered in this social network by choosing a funny or strange nickname. This is understandable: many had this situation, because a few years ago hardly anyone thought about how popular this resource would become. Now, when almost everyone in Russia (as well as Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and some other countries) has their own “live” page with a lot of friends and acquaintances, many people want to change the name “VKontakte” to real.
In fact, from a functional point of view, this is not so difficult. The main problem is the moderation of the new name by the site administrators.
How to change the name "Vkontakte": technical issues
In order to change the name, first go to your page. Next, under the profile picture, select the "Edit Page" section. A menu will open, and the first section will be automatically selected - “Basic”. It is here that you can change the name "In Contact". In this case, changes can be made both in the name and in the surname, or you can fix both fields at once.
Done? Are you sure you don’t want to change the name again? Then click the "Save" button. All! Your new name has been sent for moderation, you can only wait patiently. As a rule, users will learn about the decision of administrators after a few hours or days. What does this decision depend on? Let's get it right.
How to change the name "Vkontakte": moderator rules
In the event that before your nickname was something like “Happily Jozhig”, and now you decided to change it to your passport name and surname, then there should not be a problem. The site administration, of course, encourages non-fictitious names, real photos and reliable information. In a word, moderators of Vkontakte are against the dominance of fake accounts.
In the same case, if the situation is exactly the opposite, that is, you had a real name, and for some reason you want to change it to a fake one, then you have almost no chance. You can try to change the last name. Not necessarily in Russian: search the Internet for beautiful English, French, or Scandinavian last names. It is desirable that they look like Russified, that is, those that are quite realistic to meet in Russia (for example, Schneider, Kronberg). It is possible that the moderators will meet you by deciding that you may have married (if you are a girl) or simply changed your name in real life.
In the event that you had a frankly fake nickname that you want to change to a fictitious, but similar to a real name, your chances are significantly increased.
Remember that refusing to change your name is not the “harmfulness” of the administration, but concern for other users. The fact is that fake accounts often disseminate materials of pornographic and nationalistic content.
Here you go! Now you know how to change the name "In Contact". In fact, this is nothing complicated. Much depends on which of the moderators your application for changing the name gets to. Good luck!
