How to Change a Group Name in Roblox

Most Roblox creators want to be in a group that matches their vibe and gameplay interests. And what better way to find such groups than looking at the group name? If your group has been getting less attention, you should first change the name to express the group’s purpose.

If you’ve never changed your Roblox group name, you’re in the right place. This article will tell you everything you need to know.

Changing Roblox Group Name

You couldn’t change your group name if you owned a Roblox group before 2022. Whether your name sounded cringey or robotic, you had to use it regardless. Fortunately, you can now change your Roblox group name to match your group’s identity. However, Roblox puts several restrictions on changing group names to promote a safe environment and prevent duplication.

Here are the restrictions that apply to changing Roblox group name:

• Robux payment: Changing your Roblox group name doesn’t come as freely as you’d expect. You must pay 100 Robux from a verified Roblox account.
• Time restrictions: If 90 days haven’t elapsed since you changed your group name, you won’t be allowed to change it again. Also, if new management takes over the group, the name won’t be changeable for 90 days.
• The group name: How unique is your new group name? If it matches another group’s name, you can’t use it. It will infringe trademarks and copyrights, which might have legal implications. Also, your name shouldn’t use inappropriate and profane language or reflect your real name.
• Group permissions: Only group owners can change the group name. You’ll need to ask the owner for management rights if you’re a member.

If you meet the above requirements, follow these steps to change your Roblox group name.

Changing Roblox Group Name on a PC or Mac

1. Log in to your Roblox account and tap the “Ellipses menu” in the top left corner.
   
2. Click “Groups” and select the group you want to edit.
   
3. Hit the “Ellipses menu” to the right of the group’s profile to open more options.
   
4. Tap “Configure group.”
   
5. Look for the “Edit button” (it resembles a pen on paper) to the right of the group’s name and tap it.
   
6. Type your group name in the name field and check the terms and conditions box.
   
7. Click the “Robux icon” with 100 next to it and wait for the process to complete. Once the name changes, all the contributors in the group receive a notification.
   

If you’re using the Roblox app on Android or iOS, the process of changing the group name is similar to that of a PC and Mac. However, for the first step: Open your Roblox app and click the “Ellipses menu” at the bottom of the page. From there, follow steps two to seven as outlined above.

When you change your Roblox group name, the previous name will no longer be affiliated with the group. You won’t get any results if you use it to browse the group.

How to Change Roblox Group Ownership

When the group evolves and the management changes, the new owner won’t be able to change the group name until you edit the group ownership. But how do you change Roblox group ownership?

1. Log in to your Roblox account and click the “Ellipses menu” in the top left corner if you’re using a PC or Mac, or at the bottom if you’re using a Roblox phone application.
   
2. Tap “Groups” and select the group you want to edit.
   
3. Tap the “Ellipses menu” to the right of the group profile and click “Configure group.”
   
4. Scroll down to the “Information section” and click the “Edit icon” next to “Owner.”
   
5. You now need to enter the new owner’s details. Use the search box to look for their username and select it.
   
6. Click “OK.” Roblox sends a verification code to your email. Enter it and click “Continue.” After entering the verification code, you might have to repeat the process for the changes to apply. Now the new owner can change the group name.
   

Changing Roblox Group Name as a Creator

If you’re the creative mind of the group and wish to change the group name, you can request the group owner for permission. To do so, the group owner will create a role for you from the group’s settings and pay 25 Robux.

Here’s how you assign a role on Roblox:

1. Open your Roblox account and tap the “Ellipses menu” in the top left if you’re using a PC or Mac, or at the bottom if you’re using a Roblox phone application.
   
2. Click “Groups” and select the group you want to edit.
   
3. Tap the “Ellipses menu” to the right of the group and click “Configure group.”
   
4. Select “Members” and select the creator you want to modify.
   
5. Tap the drop-down menu below and select the role you want to assign them.
   
6. If changing the group’s name isn’t in the drop-down menu, click “Configure group” and select “Roles.” Click the “Create role” button, enter the role details, and tap the “Purchase” button. Once you have this role, you can change Roblox group name as a creator.
   

Changing Roblox Group Name by Contacting Customer Support

If you’re dead against a bland Roblox group name, you can try changing it sooner by contacting customer support. Create a convincing email giving a valid reason to change your name. Also, include the group’s details, the name you’re currently using, and the new one. However, keep it short and straight to the point to hedge your bets.

Though there’s no guarantee that this method will work, some group owners have changed their group names freely using this method.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Your Roblox Group Name

You don’t want to rush when choosing your Roblox group name. Though creating a name isn’t easy, you want it to be attractive to creators and relevant to the group’s mission. Here are some factors to consider when selecting your Roblox group name:

• Long-term viability: How do you see your Roblox group evolving? Your group name shouldn’t be trendy or time-sensitive to prevent it from being phased out.
• Group identity: Think of the perception you want people to have when they come across your group, and ensure your group name expresses it. Research online to ensure your name is unique and not used by another group.
• Target audience: Your Roblox group name should align with the interests and preferences of the intended members. If your group supports a specific genre of games, the name should reflect that.
• Memorability: A catchy and simple name makes the group memorable and attractive. Avoid overly complex or lengthy names that might be hard for users to remember.

Rebrand Your Roblox Group

You should give enough attention to your Roblox group name because it influences how creators view and perceive it. A vibrant name will make the group easily noticeable and encourage like-minded creators to hit the join group button. But if your group name misses these aspects, you can change it. But remember, you can only do so once every three months.
