<p>I want to upload some of my works to <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/">Thingiverse</a> without making my real name public (displaying it on the profile page).</p>

<p>I think it is OK to register my name to the site unless the make it public, and it is required by the terms to provide truthful and accurate information.</p>

<p>I tried creating an account on the site, but I deleted it because I couldn't find the way to hide my name (set another one) from the profile page in a short time.</p>

<p>I see some accounts that doesn't seem showing their real name (for example, their name on profile equals to their account ID, or at least not in two parts: first and last name as required on registration), so I guess this is archivable.</p>

<p>examples:</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/Darkcheops/about">http://www.thingiverse.com/Darkcheops/about</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/ruaridh/about">http://www.thingiverse.com/ruaridh/about</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/Torleif/about">https://www.thingiverse.com/Torleif/about</a></li>
</ul>

<p>How can I set my name for profile page on Thingiverse after registration and logging in?</p>
