I'm thinking you will NOT be able to change your user name. My wife just signed up here two days ago, and there was a specific warning to be careful about that--because it was the one thing you could never, ever change.
The only way to work around that that I know of would be to simply give up on the WQAINDA account and create a new account using your real name. That would mean coming up with a different email address, since the computer only accepts one account per address.
However (since I've been wrong before), it might be a good idea to check with the Team (team@hubpages.com) first, before doing anything rash.
OOPS! I didn't realize I was still signed is as Pamdora--that's my wife. She's a new member here, and I check her work just to help her out--but she doesn't HAVE a wife! LOL!
Anyway, WQAINDIA, the "Pamdora" advice was really coming from Ghost32, 5 years on HP with a 97 HubScore, NOT from Pamdora, 2 days on HP with a 7 HubScore!
(Thought that might influence your comfort level a bit.)
I think Ghost is correct. You can create new (multiple) account(s) here (using the same Adsense etc.) but you can't change an account name once opened.

Is it best to use a pen name or your real name on HP, and how easy is it to change your user name?I am considering a change of name here on HP, and wondering what the implications would be. Has anybody done it, or have an opinion about it?

Actually it is my name, but now I'm hoping that song is stuck in your head. Uh... HP's changed my name on my profile page. Kinda weird. Im not sure how it happened or why, but the name on my account is "Sed-me" and in that little fill-in-the-blank-real-name-spot, I had my real name which...

Is there a way to change my hubpages name to my real name?
by Zach 12 years ago
Hello,I'll give you a little background to the story here. I write on hubpages under the alias of Joe Macho. It was the first thing to pop in my head, and I find it more comfortable to write under this name than my real one. My problem now, is that I was contacted by another hubber and asked...

Hi,My username is 'Rickrideshorses' and I've wondered for some time if this has had an adverse effect on my overall traffic. I didn't think too much about the username when I picked it but now I'm concerned that people might either be put off by the username for whatever reason, they may not click...

Hello fellow hubbers, I have 2 questions:1. I have decided to reveal my "real" name here on Hubpages, but I haven't found the setting yet which allows me to put my name, like some hubbers have done, on their profile page, next to their pen name. For example, fellow hubber billybuc has his...
