On Redbubble, you'll have your Username, Shop Name, and First and Last Name. Some of these are only used on an account level or to verify your identity, while others can be used to help your customers identify your shop.
If you’ve already started building branding for yourself on other sites, keeping names consistent across your online accounts is a good idea.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind when you’re choosing names.

Changing names
First and Last names can be changed. Keep in mind that once you are eligible for payment, the "First Name" and "Last Name" fields can't be left blank. If you are required to verify your details, you may need to reverify to update your names in your Redbubble account.
Usernames can’t be changed on the Redbubble marketplace. If you have your heart set on a username change, you can close your Redbubble account and create a new one with the desired username.
Shop Names, however, can be changed in your account settings.
Names on closed accounts
Any username or shop name associated with an account when closed can’t be changed, removed, or used again.
Be sure to change your shop name before you close your account if you want to re-use it. Usernames can’t be changed or re-used at any time.
