Steam account name vs. profile name
Steam has two names. Your account name is the login you use to sign in; it is private and cannot be changed. Your profile name is what friends and other players see, it can include spaces, and you can change it whenever you like. Funny names are meant for the profile name.
Jokes Steam players get
The funniest Steam names joke about PC gaming habits: huge backlogs (Backlog Collector, Buys Never Plays), sales (Sale Season Victim), performance (Low FPS Legend, RGB For Performance) and bugs (Crashes On Launch, Day One Patch). Because profile names allow spaces, you can write full phrases.
How to change your Steam name
Open your Steam profile, click Edit Profile and type a new profile name. The change appears right away, and you can see your previous names in your name history. Your custom profile URL is separate and must be unique.

Keep jokes clean, since Steam and game servers can remove offensive names. For more ideas, the free Steam username generator below creates names for both profile names and custom URLs.
