Display name vs UserID

Hi team,

 

I would like to use a display name which is different from my user id. Is that something possible? I feel my userid identifies me so i would like to use a different display name for questions I post in community forums.

 

Thanks,

Thanks for the info and I did submit the form. 

 

Was wondering instead of changing the user id is there a way when someone posts it shows a Display name of their preference and not their user id? Microsoft Q and A site does not show my actual user id when a thread is answered or posted but shows only my display name. 

 

Quick question. When i visit my profile

 

https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/00000

 

has Public Stats Name.
