Display names are defined as names that are used on the internet when people do not want to give their real life name out to the general public, and when people want to keep their personal information private. Display names are also known as screen names and aliases when used online. These names can be anything you want them to be as long as they meet the requirements of the website that you are
. trying to join or belong to. Typically, display names (or screen names) can not contain anything offensive on them. Offensive language such as using swear words within your display name, or words that portray racisim or sexism may not be appropriate and may result in your name of choice being flagged for a re-name on the site you are trying to join. These names usually must be a certain amount of characters as well, and some sites may require you to use numbers or symbls within your display name as well.
