Add or change your chosen name and pronouns to your Xfinity accounts

Your chosen name can only contain alphabetical characters (A-Z or a-z) and the following special characters: apostrophe, hyphen, and period. Xfinity reserves the right to reject or remove any chosen name that is vulgar, inappropriate, obscene, profane, discriminatory, or that intends to misrepresent the customer’s identity in a potentially harmful way. For example, by indicating falsely that a person is associated with law enforcement or another government entity.

You can change your name to display as your preferred chosen name and/or pronouns in the Xfinity app or on xfinity.com by following the steps below. Entering a chosen name and/or pronouns is optional. If you don’t want to provide one, we’ll continue to use your legal name.

Changing your name in the app isn’t a legal name change. Changing ownership of an Xfinity account.
