    First Time Account Setup, Change your Origin name...Easy!

    ...without calling customer support!

    Downloaded Origin client WWW.ORIGIN.COM/DOWNLOAD

    Logged in and right next to my origin name there is a "change" button. Changed it to JedClampetCLR it showed a green check and accepted it!

    So you downloaded a new client, installed it, then logged into Origin??

    where is the option to change your name?

      Yep. There was a button right next to my Origin name labeled "Change". Click it and should give you option to type a new one. I bet they were inundated with requests for profile name changes...

          Not sure why you can't see it. I'm not home at my gaming computer currently. I did not have the Origin client so I downloaded it from here. http://origin.com/download

          It's not a web page, it just pops up a windows to DL the Origin client, about 45MB.

            Aha, that was your first time using it, that is what was different.

              maybe if you uninstalled it and on the reinstall it would show up?

                Strange thing is, I had already set my origin name as JedClampetLike when I logged in to EA the other day. They said it would be my Origin name and to pick carefully that it could not be changed. I then downloaded and installed origin for the first time today and had the option to change it. Sorry guys!

                    Origin is giving me the option to change my profile name again! Here is a screen shot. This happened after I requested a password change. Go figure.

                        Yeah, I remember it saying the same for me, but I was afraid if I tried it I'd lose the one I have and have to make an even lamer one!

                            I need to know this too! Is this only on first installation? After that you don't get the option?
