Why Did My Fortnite Name Change?
Heya! If your Fortnite name changed without you altering it, it’s likely due to a recent Epic Games policy update requiring names to comply with their community guidelines. Check if your previous name might have violated any rules.

Honestly, it could just be a glitch. Fortnite has bugs sometimes, and names might get affected.
Epic Games might have reset your name if it didn't match their community standards. Another reason could be if someone reported your name for being inappropriate.
Once, I had the same issue. Turned out my name was flagged for being too similar to an existing one. Epic Games gave me an auto-generated new name.
