I have tried to change my community name on my account, but despite trying various names and clicking on 'save' it comes up as 'Error, try another name'.

What am I doing wrong? Or can you not pick a new name?

Whats wrong with Blossom?

I have just tried to change my name and got the same response as you. Not sure why so perhaps you can contact GR team

You can,if you wish,leave the community name blank and enter it instead of your first name.

This is how I changed mine

in My Accounts, type your name with the symbols where you should put your first name. Then put your first name and surname together in the Surname section.

In Community Name, you can only type your name with no symbols and no spaces, so just leave it blank.
