I have had that stupid guardian name since the name issue happened in D2 a year or so ago and I am still mad about it. I can't change my name no matter what I do.
Hi there,
Bungie Names are global across Destiny 2, Marathon, and Bungie.net, so that “Guardian####” (or Redacted####) is the same everywhere and usually means your old name was caught by the name filter or the big name‑audit bug from a while back.
Right now, if you can’t change your Bungie Name normally on the Profile → Identity Settings page, the only way to get it reviewed is through the Bungie Safety team:
Go to the Bungie name/ban appeal form:
https://safety.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/42349301189524-Contact-Form-Appeal-Ban-or-Restriction
For “What are you appealing?”, pick Bungie Name was changed / Bungie Name.
Include:
Your current Bungie Name (e.g., Guardian####)
The name you were using / trying to use
Roughly when it changed (around the D2 name issue).
