    Make sure your new name adheres to the name standards of Facebook. For instance, you can't use a name that goes against Facebook's Community Standards (like racial slurs or derogatory terms). [4]

    Go to this contact form on Bumble. If you used your phone number to sign up for Bumble (instead of Facebook), you might have entered the wrong information when you first set up your Bumble account. Unfortunately, there is no way to self-correct your name on Bumble. [6]
    • Enter your name, an email address that they can contact you at, and select if you're using Bumble Date, Bumble BFF, or Bumble Bizz as well as what platform you're using (Android or iOS).
    • Click to choose Ask a general question and then you can request the name change in Step 2. You can also add an image to your request if you want to. You may need to verify that you're the owner of the profile before the name change.
