How can i change my nickname?

This user for example has chosen his nickname himself: http://www.imdb.com/user/ur37590246/

I couldn't find any information about how to change that name. It's not the username (because that's your email address). It's not your first or last name (tried that, it just changes the top right account dropdown menu).

So, how to change it? Thanks!

It's a good thing that it can't be changed. Allowing change would aid trolls and sockpuppets. It's bad enough that users can delete/edit their posts after someone has replied.

My bad. I thought it was unchangeable. I still believe it should be.

Click "Your account" from the pull down menu under your name in the upper right portion of the page. This will bring you to "Your Account" page. [https://secure.imdb.com/register-imdb...]

In the "Personal Information" section, click "Change your IMDb ID". This will bring you to the "Change ID" page.

Enter your password and your new ID. You will not be allowed to choose an ID that has already been used.

I tried that but I always get "That combination of characters is not allowed". I use normal letters and one number like ab1d. I also tried aab1dd. Is there minimum length?

Couldn't find anything about the IMDb ID in the help.
