How Much Does a Name Change Cost?
Your first name change in Carrom Pool is completely free, so you can fix a typo or try a new style for nothing. After that first free change, every later name change costs 100 gems. Gems are the in-game currency, so it is worth choosing your new name carefully before you confirm it. If you are unsure about a name, test it first in a name decorator before you spend your gems. Pick a name you will be happy with for a long time, because changing it often gets expensive.
What If You Logged In with Facebook or Google?
If you logged in to Carrom Pool with Facebook or Google, your in-game name comes from that linked account, not from the game itself. That means the pencil icon may not let you type a new name, or your old name may come back after you change it. To use a different name, you need to change the name on your linked Facebook or Google account first, and then it will update in Carrom Pool. The process is similar in other Miniclip games — see our guide on how to change your name in 8-ball pool for a comparison. Guest accounts work differently: the game gives guest players an auto-assigned name when they start, and guest players can change it using the pencil icon method above. If you want full control over your name, playing on a guest account or updating your linked social account are the two ways to do it.
Why Your Friends List Takes Time to Update
After you change your name, your friends may still see your old name for a little while. This is normal. The friends list updates after a short delay while the game syncs your new name across its servers. Nothing is wrong with your account, so do not change the name again. Just wait a few minutes, restart the game if needed, and your new name will show up for everyone. The same delay can happen on leaderboards.

Tips for Picking a Great New Carrom Pool Name
Name changes cost 100 gems after the first free one, so choose wisely. Keep your name short, between 2 and 16 characters, and remember that spaces and underscores are not allowed. One or two stylish symbols look great and stay easy to read during fast matches, while too many can look messy. Avoid copying a famous player’s name, because a unique name helps your friends find you quickly. If you play with the same group often, pick a name that matches your style — cute, royal or attitude. You can also check whether a name idea is already used elsewhere with our username availability checker before you commit your gems to it.
