How to Add a Nickname to Your Google+ Profile

If you want to be known by your nickname instead of your regular one and have created a Google+ account, you can add a nickname to your account. When you add a nickname to your Google+ profile, it becomes visible to all of the people who have added you in their Google+ circles.

By default, no nickname is added to your Google + profile, and the Google+ profile setup process does not ask you to add one. However, once you have successfully created your profile on Google+, you can follow the instructions given below to add a nickname to your account:

    ■Turn on your computer system.
    ■Open your favorite web browser.
    ■On the opened interface, open Google+ by typing plus.google.com in the address bar, and press Enter.
    ■Once Google+ opens up, provide the login credentials in the appropriate fields, and click Sign in.
