Aniimo: How to Change Your Name With a Name Change Card

Your character nickname in Aniimo is not locked in for good. You can rewrite it at any point from your profile, but the change is gated behind a single consumable item rather than a free text edit. Here is exactly what the swap costs and the order you need to do things in.

Quick answer: Buy a Name Change Card for 300 Glimmer from the Item Store, then open your profile, press Edit, type a new nickname, and confirm to spend the card.

What a name change costs in Aniimo

Renaming your character requires one Name Change Card. The card is sold in the Item Store under the Glimmer tab for 300 Glimmer, and it is consumed the moment you confirm a new nickname.

Glimmer is a currency you earn through normal play, exploration, and quests, so you do not need to spend premium Lumin Crystals to afford the card. Glimmer accumulates slowly, though, so it is worth keeping a reserve rather than emptying it on cosmetic changes.

How to change your name in Aniimo

In Profile, tap the pencil-shaped Edit icon at the bottom right to open the Nickname and Signature fields for editing.

Click the pencil icon beside Nickname. The Edit nickname pop-up opens with a text box that accepts up to 14 characters, and it notes that the change costs one Name Change Card.

If you do not own a Name Change Card yet, the pop-up points you to the Glimmer Purchase. Head to the Item Store, open the Glimmer tab, and buy the card for 300 Glimmer, then return to the nickname field.

Type your new name and press Confirm. Confirming spends one Name Change Card and applies the new nickname immediately.

How to confirm the name change worked

Once you confirm, your updated nickname appears on the Profile screen and on your profile card in the main menu. Your Name Change Card count drops by one in your inventory, which is the clearest sign the change registered. If the new name shows and the card is gone, the swap is complete.

Renaming your Aniimo is separate

The Name Change Card only applies to your own character nickname. There is currently no way to rename an individual Aniimo. Pressing the pencil icon next to an Aniimo’s name shows a message that renaming, along with Aniimo Affinity, is planned for a future update. Until then, the card you buy is strictly for your player profile.
