Yes I changed mine too
Go to settings>General Settings> Name and you can edit there
Note- You can change only 4 times

Go to Account Settings and Unsubscribe
Login to Facebook now go to settings>App Settings and Select Tomshardware and unsubscribe it
Now again Sign up on Tomshardware with Facebook account this will ask your name at first and there you go

thanks for the help, i don't even remember if i had an option to change the account name when i first created it using facebook, perhaps i was just not careful and figured it can be changed later on.

i've contacted the community manager perhaps it can be changed without a full reset...

Ok that should work too
if nothing works out then the above method will surely help

The actual best answer from above is the one that tells you to PM Joe Pishgar our community manager. He is the only one that can do it and he has to send a list on to the developers and it can take a while for it to happen. So the sooner you PM him the sooner it can happen. ;)

I've added your name to the queue for name change. Please do bear in mind that this is done manually by a developer, and only in batches, and it could take some time.
