what's my name?

How do you find out what your Commander's name is? MY buddy just bought into the game and asked me what my name is.. I can't find it anywhere in-game.. I could be blind (just ask my wife) or just dumb (again look to wife).

If you look to the right hand side panel, your name is listed in the first tab. It will be something like "CMDR Backer #234234" initially. If you want to change it, you need to follow this process:

1. Login at: https://support.orerve.net/
2. Navigate to the ‘COMMANDER PROFILE’ tab
3. Enter your desired new commander name in the ‘Request a New Name’ field and press the ‘Request Name Change’ button.
4. If this is approved it will update the commander name at the top of the page.
5. If it is automatically denied a red message will appear above the field, stating the reason for the rejection.
6. If it is manually denied the player will receive an email telling them that their name has been rejected, once the batch update is complete.

P.S.

Please search the forums before asking, this was asked and answered multiple times.

errr, if I remember well, you just have a backer number.. you have to register your name on the elite dangerous site itself... well, hope I'm right ^^
 
It's on the status screen when you look right in the cockpit.
I think it's also on your player stats screen in the online menu before you start playing.
