Flickr lets you showcase your photography and connect with other photographers. When you create your account, you choose a name, but you can update it anytime. Whether you want to use your real name or a creative display name, changing it is straightforward.

Flickr has two types of names you can customize: your real name and your display name. Both can be modified in just a few steps.
