You change your name in Clash Royale from your profile: tap your name or level badge at the top of the main screen, tap Change Name, and confirm — your first change is free, and later changes cost gems that increase each time. Clash Royale supports Unicode symbols and styled letters, so you can paste a decorated name, but check it displays properly before confirming. Follow the steps below, then pick from the starter list or style your own with the name decorator.
Step-by-Step: Change Your Name in Clash Royale
- Open Clash Royale and make sure you are logged in to the correct Supercell ID account.
- On the main battle screen, tap your player name and level badge in the top-left corner to open your profile.
- Tap the Change Name button or the edit option next to your current name.
- Delete your old name and type or paste your new name, including any symbols you want to use.
- Check the preview carefully — look at spelling, symbol display and overall length.
- Check the gem cost shown on screen if this is not your free first change, then tap Confirm.
- Return to your profile and clan page to confirm the new name appears correctly for everyone.
Supercell occasionally updates the profile layout and rename costs, so always follow the buttons and prices shown in your own game if they differ slightly from this guide. If the Change Name option is missing, update the app and make sure you are not viewing another player’s profile.
Costs, Rules and Symbol Tips
Your first Clash Royale name change is free. After that, each change costs gems and the price goes up with every rename, so treat each change as semi-permanent and avoid names you will regret after one tilted evening. Offensive names can be reported and changed by Supercell. For symbols, paste the name and inspect it closely: rare Unicode characters sometimes show as blank boxes on other devices, while crowns, stars and swords from the symbol library are widely supported. The styling flexibility here is very different from plain-text Clash of Clans, which our Clash of Clans rename guide explains.

What to Do If Your Rename Fails
If the game refuses your name, simplify it: remove rare symbols, shorten it, and check for words caught by the filter. If a name is already in use, add a minimal frame or swap one word rather than adding random numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the first name change in Clash Royale free?
Yes, your first name change is free. Later changes cost gems, and the gem price increases each time you rename your account again.
Can I paste a symbol name when I rename in Clash Royale?
Yes. Clash Royale supports many Unicode symbols and styled letters, so you can paste a decorated name. Check the preview first, because rare characters may not display on all devices.
Where is the Change Name button in Clash Royale?
Tap your name and level badge at the top-left of the main screen to open your profile, where the Change Name option appears. The exact layout can shift slightly between app updates.
Can Supercell change my name for me?
If a name is reported and breaks the rules, Supercell may change it or require a rename. Choosing a clean name from the start avoids that risk.
