Searching for someone who can help  
I’ve tried to change my username, however it just says “Something went wrong. Please try again.” But even when I try again, the message shows that. I have tried many different usernames, (nio, nio1252151, nio.taconugget, nio\_taconugget, etc) Please, I need help. I don’t think “catmaddie73u749mc” fits me. Especially since I don’t want my actual name displayed, just my online name.  
INFO  
my name IS Maddie, but I’d prefer to go by nio (it’s my online name, i feel more comfort being called Nio rather than my actual name.) Call me any pronouns you want…  
I like cats- But I don’t play MineCraft. I’ve seen people shorten MineCraft to MC, which is now how I react when I see “MC”. Since my name has Mc in it, I think it means minecraft. I don’t play minecraft.  
My favorite animals are Foxes and Wolves.

Welcome, Nio. It looks like you were able to change your username. 🙂

If you want a bit more privacy, you can edit your original post to remove your real name.
