Here's how to change your server nickname on Discord. Just for fun, I'll demonstrate using the officialBorderlandsserver.

First, select the server in question. Second, select the drop-down menu on the left sidebar of the server. It'll be on the banner above the list of channels within the server. On desktop, it looks similar a downwards-pointing arrow, while on mobile information technology'll look like an ellipsis.

From this bill of fare, you tin do a number of things within the server, including leave it (I do recommend doing a Discord leap make clean this year if you lot're on a 1000000-and-ane servers, but that's a separate issue). Cull the option to "modify nickname."

One time you lot've clicked on that, enter the name of your choosing in the pop-up box. I chose Grace hither, since information technology's part of my usual username. And at that place you get, you're at present "[Nickname of Choice]" on that server.

You'll still retain your original username (or whatever other nicknames you lot have) on other servers. Good luck and I recommend not having also many nicknames to avert getting them mixed up. Again, not that I'm speaking from feel or anything.
