aka Hinge Help Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope I don&rsquo;t need to tell you this, but if you change your name to something wild, wacky, and nothing to do with your actual name you may end up driving potential matches away by seeming a little <em>too<\/em> mysterious.

As fake names are possible there will be a few, but I&rsquo;d say it isn&rsquo;t a major worry. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If someone is called FaceyMcFace or something, that&rsquo;s a red flag.
