How do I add another name (ex: nickname, maiden name) to my profile?

If you'd like to list a name on your account that's different from the name on your ID (ex: maiden name, nickname, professional title):

1. Click  Edit Profile
2. Click Details About You
3. Click Add a nickname, a birth name... below Other Names
4. Select the type of name you want to add next to Name Type
5. Enter your other name
6. Check Show at top of profile to have your other name shown next to your full name at the top of your profile
7. Click Save

Learn more about our other name policies.

Keep in mind, if you don't check the box to have your other name listed at the top of your profile, it will still be visible in the About section of your profile and in search results.
