How to Change Your Free Fire Name

Changing your Free Fire name to a stylish nickname takes less than a minute. Here's exactly how to do it.

Step-by-Step

1. Open our Free Fire name generator, type your name, and tap a style to copy it.
2. Launch Free Fire and tap your profile picture in the top-left corner of the lobby.
3. Tap the yellow pencil / edit icon next to your current nickname.
4. Delete the old name, paste the copied stylish name, and tap OK / Confirm.

Is It Free to Change Your Name?

Your very first name change is free. After that, Free Fire requires a Name Change Card, which you can buy with diamonds (usually around 390) or earn during events and rewards. Keep an eye on in-game events — free name change cards are handed out fairly often.

Why My New Name Isn't Accepted

If your name is rejected, it's usually because it's already taken, exceeds the 12-character limit, or contains banned words. Add a symbol or number to make a taken name unique, and avoid offensive terms which Garena may reject or reset.

Tips for the Best Nickname

• Keep it short and readable — it shows above your character in matches.
• Use one or two symbols, not ten.
• Bold, italic and bracket styles are the most reliable in-game.
