8 Ball Pool has no rename card and no rename button — your in-game name comes from the account you link. This post explains how the name actually works, how to swap a guest name for a real one, and gives 30 stylish names plus 10 club name ideas.
When you start as a guest, 8 Ball Pool gives you an automatic “Guest plus numbers” name. To get a name of your own, link Facebook or Google Play Games from Settings (gear icon → Connect) — your game name then becomes the linked account’s name. Guest progress lives only on your device, so link an account before you delete the app.
How Your 8 Ball Pool Name Actually Works
| Situation | Your name |
|---|---|
| Guest account | Automatic “Guest plus random numbers” name; progress saved only on your device — delete the app and it is gone |
| Facebook linked | Your Facebook name, shown in the game |
| Google Play Games linked (Android) | Your Google account name |
| Miniclip account | The name on your Miniclip profile |
That is the key difference from the other games in this series: there is no card to buy and no in-game rename field to type into. Your stylish name lives on the linked account — so pick the account name well, because the game simply mirrors it. One guide claims a one-time in-app username change exists, but the consistent account across older and newer guides is the link mechanism above, and that is what this post recommends.
How to Replace a Guest Name in 8 Ball Pool
- Open 8 Ball Pool and tap the gear icon at the bottom-left to open Settings.
- Tap Connect next to “Connect to Facebook” — or, on Android, “Connect to Google Play”.
- Follow the prompt in the Facebook or Google app that opens and approve the connection.
- Check the top-left of the game screen — your name and photo should now match the linked account.
- Bonus: linking also syncs your progress across devices, so a new phone no longer means starting over.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my name in 8 Ball Pool?
Not with a rename button — your name comes from the account you link. Connect Facebook or Google Play Games from Settings and the game shows that account’s name.
Why is my name “Guest” plus numbers?
That is the automatic name for a guest account. It changes only when you link an account — the game does not offer a guest rename field.
Does linking an account cost anything?
No — linking Facebook or Google Play Games is free, and it also syncs your progress across devices.
What happens to guest progress if I delete the app?
Guest progress lives only on your device, so it is lost. Link an account first if you want your coins, cues and level to survive a reinstall.
Can I change my avatar in 8 Ball Pool?
Yes — you can pick from the game’s avatars, though changing avatars uses VIP points, which you earn by winning or buy in the shop.
Can I use stylish fonts in my 8 Ball Pool name?
Your displayed name mirrors your linked account, so whatever that account accepts is what shows. Keep it readable — a name full of rare symbols can look broken on other players’ screens.
