MLBB names work on a card system: your first rename is free, and after that you need a Rename Card. This post covers the exact steps, what a card costs, the naming rules that get names rejected, and stylish names by hero role — plus squad name ideas for teams that want a matching identity.
In Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, tap your profile picture, then your name, and confirm with a Rename Card. The first change is free; later cards cost diamonds from the shop (recent guides report 239, older ones 299 — check your own shop), or 50 diamonds through Season First Recharge after topping up on three different days. Names must be unique and 4–16 characters.
How to Change Your Name in MLBB
- Open Mobile Legends and tap your profile picture at the top-left of the main menu.
- Tap your in-game name. A prompt opens where you can type a new name.
- Type the new name — or paste a styled one — and check it fits the rules below.
- Confirm with a Rename Card. The first change is free; after that the game spends a card from your inventory.
- If the name is rejected, shorten it or remove a rare symbol and try again — do not buy another card first.
What a Rename Card Costs
| Route | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First change | Free | A new account that has never been renamed changes its name at no cost |
| Shop → Preparation → Special | 239 diamonds (recent guides; older guides said 299) | Prices change with updates — confirm the number in your own shop before buying |
| Season First Recharge | 50 diamonds | Unlocks after topping up on three different days; one per competitive season |
| Events | Free (when available) | Occasional event rewards include Rename Cards — check the Events tab |
The cheapest reliable route is the Season First Recharge card: three small top-ups on three different days, then a 50-diamond card. The shop price is the fallback when you need a rename right away.
MLBB Naming Rules
Names must be unique — no two players can share one — and guides report a 4–16 character limit, with spaces and symbols counting toward it. Profanity and impersonating famous players or Moonton staff are blocked. The practical warning: MLBB is stricter about fancy symbols than most games, so preview your styled name in the rename box before you spend a card. If a symbol shows as a box or the game rejects the name, simplify it first. A wasted card is the one mistake you cannot undo.

MLBB Squad Name Ideas (10)
Squads read as one identity, so keep the tag short and share one symbol across every member:
乂DᴀᴡɴLᴇɢɪᴏɴ乂 · ꧁LᴀɴᴅOғLᴇɢᴇɴᴅs꧂ · ⚡SᴛᴏʀᴍSǫᴜᴀᴅ⚡ · ✦MʏᴛʜɪᴄFɪᴠᴇ✦ · ♛EʟɪᴛᴇDᴀᴡɴ♛ · 乂NɪɢʜᴛRᴀɪᴅᴇʀs乂 · ꧁VᴏɪᴅCʟᴀɴ꧂ · ⚡LᴇɢᴇɴᴅSᴇᴇᴋᴇʀs⚡ · ✦DᴀᴡɴBʀᴇᴀᴋᴇʀs✦ · ♛MᴏᴏɴʟɪᴛSǫᴜᴀᴅ♛

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the first MLBB name change free?
Yes. A new account that has never been renamed changes its name at no cost. After that you need a Rename Card for every change.
How much does a Rename Card cost in MLBB?
Recent guides report 239 diamonds from Shop → Preparation → Special; older guides said 299. Season First Recharge offers one for 50 diamonds after topping up on three different days. Confirm the price in your own shop before buying.
How long can an MLBB name be?
Guides report 4–16 characters, with spaces and symbols counting. Keep styled names short so decorations do not eat the whole limit.
Can I use stylish fonts and symbols in MLBB?
Some symbols work and some are rejected — MLBB is stricter than most games. Always preview the name in the rename box before spending a card, and simplify it if the game rejects it.
Can two players have the same MLBB name?
No — names must be unique. If your first choice is taken, change a letter or add a short suffix rather than copying someone else’s name.
Does changing my name affect my rank or heroes?
No. A rename changes only the displayed name — your rank, heroes, skins and squad stay exactly as they are.
