Nicknames are automatically generated and cannot be change or updated. You can however change your Full Name which is the name that is displayed across all Fixya products.
Just sign into Fixya and then click on your avatar at the top right of any page. Click on My Account in the dropdown menu that appears. Once on the My Account page, scroll down the My Setting section. Update the full name field and then click the Save My Information button and your name will be updated across all Fixya products.
If anything is unclear, please leave a comment and I will be happy to help you troubleshoot further.
Hope that helps!
SOURCE: What is the reason for having an automated nickname in your FixYa profile?
Automatic nicknames are generated in order to ensure that users do not have the same nickname that goes in the URL of their pages. This ensures that users all have a nickname that is associated with their site actions (like earning points, asking questions, etc.)
Currently, there is no way to change this nickname.
