  reference links to support docs:
  Change your username https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/
  Change Display Name (Nickname) https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/#change-display-name-nickname

  Once you change your username you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for you or anyone to use. If you just want to show your name differently please only change your Display Name.
