Your display name is the name your friends see when they look at your Fitbit profile, when you send them a message, or in other interactions in the Friends section of the Fitbit app or fitbit.com dashboard, such as challenges. In the Fitbit app, you can also choose a user name that your friends will see instead your real name.
You can only change your name or user name once every 60 days, and you can only set your user name with the Fitbit app. Contact customer support to change your name if there's a typo or you didn't authorize a name change.
Edit your display name on the Fitbit App

Tap the Today tab.
Tap your Profile Picture.
Tap your name.
Tap Personal.
Tap Display Name.
Under Edit Names, tap the name or user name you want to change and enter your changes.
3. Control Who Sees Personal Info like Birthday, Height, Weight on Fitbit
