In a business environment, it's important that your email's display name represents you as a professional. For example, "PunkMusicFan" would not be an appropriate display name; instead, using your real name, such as Joey Ramone, gives your email a sense of professionalism before the recipient even opens it. If you find yourself needing to change your display name when using a Gmail email account, you can do so by navigating to the proper Settings option when accessing the account through a PC Web browser. There are no restrictions on how you're allowed to change your Gmail display name. Click the "Settings" icon, displayed in the shape of a gear, in the upper right corner of your Gmail account, and click "Settings" from the menu. Click "Edit Info," located to the right of the email display name you want changed in the "Send Mail as:" row. Click "Save Changes" to change your display name. All future emails sent from this point onward will display your new name.
