  sorry, no I will clarify; I am keeping it public not private but considering changing name only, will it keep my followers without anyone in family knowing? thanks

  If you change the name, nothing but the name changes. If you change the URL, however, that’s a whole new ballgame. You lose your followers unless you buy the redirect upgrade. And if your family is following you, they are in the same boat as the rest of your followers.
