Hi there. Upon your first login to the game since season 15, your platform name becomes your Bungie Name used on the forums and wherever you play Destiny. Before locking in the name, however, they go through an automatic moderation process that also gets rid of special characters that can't be typed on a console's on-screen keyboard, and if a name is left empty or is considered a violation of the Code of Conduct, it defaults to Guardian####. Unfortunately we have no insight to what exactly this process seems inappropriate, and at this time it's not possible to change your Bungie Name. This feature is planned to go live some time around Witch Queen launch, so you will need to wait until then to change it.

That doesn't really make sense to me though. My screen name on playstation for all those years was lordnikkon7869, and my screen name on battle.net was lordnikkon7869, and my steam name is lordnikkon7869. So by your accounts, when i logged in tonight for the first time since season 15 (I have no idea what this means for a time frame, but since i haven't played in years I assume this is correct) my name should of been lordnikkon7869. Nothing has changed on any of my accounts in all these years, including my bungie.net login info. ??

The name was deemed inappropriate by the automatic moderation system that was implemented specifically for these Bungie Names when season 15 started (August 24, 2021), so it gave you the default name of Guardian. Like I mentioned, we don't know exactly what this process sees as inappropriate, so we can only speculate. Based on other names that have been moderated against, it could be as simple as the 69 at the end of your platform name, but we don't know that for sure.

I find that interesting since the first word in my homies screen name is -blam!-. But I understand that you have no insight to this. I just don't understand. And now I look like a fool with the name Guardian0908 when for all these years, and the money I spent on Destiny 1 and 2, that all the sudden my name is no longer ok. Even though it hasn't changed since the PS3 era. Anyways, thank you for your help. I will keep and eye out for the name change thing later when the Witch Queen drops.
