Bungie Name changed

So I have seen a fair few posts about users having their Bungie Name being automatically changed, but I didn't think it would affect me until I logged in to Destiny 2 after a hiatus. Mine changed to a random Guardian#### like everyone else. Apparently the reasoning is that if your name breaks the Code of Conduct, it will be automatically changed, but I use my real first name and has always used it ever since I started playing Destiny 2. I haven't used a name change, but I can't even change my name back to what it was before. My name previously was Shahnewaz. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    [quote] but I use my real first name [/quote] That is a violation of the Bungie Name policy. See the quote below taken directly from the Bungie Name guide. It is also a safety and security risk to use personal information in your online username. [quote]Banned Name Policies Any Bungie Name that violates these policies or our Code of Conduct will be changed to "Guardian[Random Number]" and players may face an in-game ban. Changes performed by Bungie may consume a player's unused name change. Policies include, but aren't limited to: [..] Personal identifying information (i.e. first and last names, email addresses, phone numbers, etc.) Full article at https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/7648312251284-Bungie-Name-Guide[/quote] [quote] I haven't used a name change, but I can't even change my name back to what it was before.[/quote] Of course not, the name has been banned. If you still have a name change available, you can use it to change your Bungie Name to something else. Make sure whatever you change it to does not violate Bungie's policies otherwise, it will be changed again.
