Since Google does not recognise using dots (i.e., if you name is "t.smith", you will get mails to tsmith
and t.smith
), can you change how your name appears?
In other words, can you change your account name from appearing t.smith
to tsmith
?

Best Answer
If your email is
tsmith@gmail.com
, yes you are able to login usingt.smith
ort.s.m.i.th
and sending emails tot.sm.ith@gmail.com
ort.smith+whatever@gmail.com
will end endup in your inbox. But you can't change how it's going to appear once you are logged in. Google will use the username as you wrote it when you created your account.What you can do though, you can go to your
Gmail Settings
>Accounts
>Add another email address you own
, write exactly how you wanted to appear and finallymake default
