Your Genshin Impact nickname is the name other Travelers see in Co-Op, and you change it in-game from the Paimon Menu → your profile card → the pencil icon next to your name. HoYoverse gives you the first nickname change free; after that it costs 10 Primogems, so it is cheap but worth getting right. Genshin nicknames support letters, numbers and a generous range of Unicode, which is why aesthetic, soft-cursive and small-caps styles paste in beautifully and suit the game's elegant fantasy tone. Decorative frames like sparkles, stars and brackets fit the vibe far better than aggressive sweaty tags — think gentle accents around an elemental or character-inspired name. Keep it within the character limit and avoid pure symbol walls, since the filter rejects some glyphs and overly long strings get truncated on the profile card. Everything here is plain copy-and-paste Unicode, so it looks the same whether your friends are on mobile, PC or PlayStation. Pick a name that matches your favourite element or region and frame it with one tasteful decoration for a profile that stands out in the co-op list.

Nicknames aren't unique — your UID is
Here is the detail that makes Genshin the most relaxed rename system in gaming: nicknames don't have to be unique. Thousands of Travelers can all be called Lumine, because the game identifies you by your UID — the nine-digit number pinned to the bottom-right of your screen and your profile card. Friends add you by UID, not by name. The practical upshot: the aesthetic name you want is never "taken." You can use exactly the spelling, spacing and sparkle frame you like without mutating it the way every other game forces, which is why soft styles flourish here.
Styling for the profile card
Your nickname shows up small — in the co-op join list, above your character in someone else's world, and on your profile card next to your Adventure Rank. Frames survive that shrink better than dense symbol strings: one pair of sparkles or petals around a short elemental root (ember, frost, anemo) stays legible where a wall of glyphs collapses into noise. If you showcase characters on your card, matching the name to your main — a Furina fan running ⟡ Furina ⟡ — reads intentional rather than random. Test the result in Co-Op once; if the tail of the name truncates on the join list, trim the decoration before the letters.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change my name in Genshin Impact?+
Open the Paimon Menu, tap your profile picture to open your profile card, then tap the pencil icon next to your nickname and enter a new one.
Is changing my Genshin nickname free?+
The first nickname change is free. Each change after that costs 10 Primogems, so it stays affordable but is worth getting right the first time.
Can two Travelers have the same nickname?+
Yes. Genshin nicknames are not unique — the game tells players apart by UID, so you can use any name you like even if a million other people picked it too.
How do friends add me if my nickname isn't unique?+
By UID — the nine-digit number shown at the bottom-right of your screen and on your profile card. Share that number and your nickname can be anything.
Do symbols work in Genshin Impact names?+
Many Unicode symbols (✦ ★ ❄ ꧁ ꧂) display on your profile card, though HoYoverse filters some characters and enforces a length limit. If one is blocked, swap it out.
What makes a good Genshin nickname?+
Soft cursive or aesthetic fonts with one tasteful frame — sparkles, stars or brackets around an elemental or character-themed name suit the game far better than aggressive tags.
