  Hi there,

  For this, you can change your display name that would be your public display name everywhere.
  – Go to My Profile
  – Enter your name under Public Display Name
  – Click Save Profile Details.

  For more on changing display name , you can also check the link below:

  Please note that Public display name and username are different. You can change your public display name as many times while username once changed cannot be reversed.
  You can read more about it in the link below:

  Hope this helps!

  Thanks!
