Hi,
I have the same request. Like many others, I started my contribution with my personal account and I earned points. Then I got more interested and I continue to write reviews and send photos. In the near future, I am planning to extend my job more professionally and finally become Google street trusted photographer under a more sweet name with a separated website which is related to our local guide activities. I don't want to create another Google account and start everything again and lose all my points!
Where can I send this request? I couldn't find any related topic.
Best,
Armin

Likewise. I go to many of these places frequently. I won't leave below a 4 star review if not anonymous. Rarely even that. I go some places I wouldn't recommend but enjoy anyway. I can't reflect that without the owner or matre de knowing

Google really needs this ability to get honest reviews, like Beamer said I'm not going to go below 4 stars or be "properly critical" under my full real name if its a place near home, fine for holiday locations where I will not return for years (if ever) but PLEASE GOOGLE enable us to choose a display name for contributions !!

I have the same issue as well. I would prefer using my initials or any other pseudo I prefer

Hello @ScottS,
The name reflects in Google review is Google account name.
If you change it, it will reflect in your all Google portals like, Google map review, Google+, Youtube, Blogger.
There is no option to keep or reflect some nick name but you can change it 3 times in three months.
Regards,

I agree 100% there should be away to change it. With all the technology nowadays you would think that something this simple could be was my resolved!

Thanks for chiming in. I was given the name PatsyClark360 instead of my real name Patsy Clark. How do I edit the fake name to my real name?

Actually although I have just registered I realize now that will not contribute as I did not want my whole name shown (my employer would not allow it and it would be professionally unwise). A shame as I would happily contribute. I understand that I could change it on my email but that I don't want to do. Seems strange that I can have a nickname on this forum but not on the reviews.

I would contribute more if this was fixed. Google can verify that it is a real person doing the reviews but give the opportunity to have a nickname and even a different profile picture if possible on Google Maps. This could be a great opportunity for Google to enhance the volunteers' privacy. 🙂
