I was just wondering if there is any way to change your username / display name, without having to register with a new email address??

I did find Display Name History under Profile, but couldn't find where to change it?

no, that's what my page looks like.

what I posted was from the 'help' section, the section I highlighted indicated to me that we don't have permission to change our name.

sorry, maybe someone else knows more?

As far as I know you have to ask Morty. BB season is not the time to ask Morty LOL

My suggestion is wait till after BB and ask him to change it.

Yes, I read that in help too and thought the same thing. Just figured they wouldn't have a username "history" if there wasn't some way to change it?? Thanks for your help, tho. Much appreciated!

I could give it a try.
I'll send you a PM.
Just answer it with what you would like your name changed to (and why).
