Display name removal
As everyone knows, the ability to change usernames has recently come out. However, a few months ago I came across people changing their localized display names. I decided to change it myself, and on the Twitch information page on localized display names (https://blog.twitch.tv/localized-display-names-e00ee8d3250a#.n56ey7691) it is NOT noted that this is a permanent feature. When I changed mine, I did not know I was unable to change it back, and I expect that there was a warning in Japanese (as you have to change to the language to change it), but I cannot read Japanese and when I used google translate it didn't say anything about permanent. So my request is the ability to take off display names, something I would truly appreciate as it makes people less likely to come onto my stream because they think I don't speak english.
thank you c:

They won't do anything about this sadly. 2+years and counting. I've also tried to contact twitch support about this 2 times, but i never got answer. Just the automated bot email. :( Can't be that hard to add this function, huh?

And Twitch still haven't fix it yet...
I really hope there's some way to remove my display names instead of creating a new account -

Can someone explain what is the point of making display names permanent? I mean you can change your nickname many times, why can't we change or remove display name? It's just ridiculous.

Actually ridiculous that you cannot change this. It definitely should be noted on that blog that it is a permanent feature. I am disappointed in Twitch.

I did the same thing.. I don't understand why they are unable to remove it. It's completely ridiculous. Does anyone know if there is some sort of work-around by changing back to Japanese or something? The last thing I want to do is create a new channel. It truly cannot be hard for them to add the option to remove it somehow. I've even talked with Twitch staff about removing it, to no success. They have the time for this "Twitch Beta" bs, but can't remove a simple display name, even when contacted directly about the situation. I really don't get it.

They need to do this, as I just changed my username on Twitch, and I can't change the display name accordingly. I'd rather just remove it, if possible. It'd be great if they put in a setting to disable it.

What alexis said is true that service won't do anything about it. Sadly, I cannot just remake my account or else I would lose my 300+ followers and my affiliate status. It has been a viewer killer for me, but I also don't want to lose my current viewers that come in from time to time (dedicated ones would follow) by making a new account.
