Your Skype ID is a unique name associated with your account, which can't be changed.

What's my Skype Name?

While in Skype, tap or click your profile picture.
Tap or click Skype profile.
Select the Edit. button.
Update your Skype display name and select the check mark to save. You can change it back at any time.
