Your Skype Name is a unique user name that you use to sign

up your Skype account.
Your Skype Name must be between 6 and 32 characters. It must start with a letter and can contain only letters, numbers, and the following punctuation marks:
- full stop (.)
- comma (,)
- dash (-)
- underscore (_)
After you have created your account, you cannot change your Skype Name, although
you can change your display name. Find

If you've forgotten your Skype Name, it is easy to find
out what it is.
