I would love some clarity on this new edition; especially since it's mandatory. What will happen if we don't set a display name?

How I take it is that if you leave the display name as it is, it will simply be the same as your username/gig name. This new ability to change your display name, to your real name, gives buyers a name that they can address you by. It does seem to be mandatory and I am not aware of what will happen if you don't change it. However, if you do not feel comfortable using your real name you can always use a pen name as it states here:

I hope this is helpful.

This recent requirement of a display name is a positive change. It adds a more personal touch to my interactions with buyers, which can lead to better communication and more sales.

This feature is not a big change but for personal preference, it's a good idea to add this feature. My username is fullstackrasel, because I can't find the username that I  want to save. When I have completed a project and the buyer gives me feedback for the project he called me fullstackrasel which is not my name. With this feature the problem is solved and when a buyer gives feedback he called the exact name that the seller wants to show. Thanks for this feature.

This is definitely a good-to-have feature. Either put your name or your brand name out there. You do have the option to leave the field blank and just go with your username (personal preference). 

Earlier, some sellers asked for my name to address me while others preferred using my username (writinghome)...but now, this bottleneck is taken care of. Thanks Fiverr for this option.

Got a notification just now "Your profile is missing something. Complete it with a display name." 

I already have. My display name is on my profile. Do I have to do something else?

I really liked the feature of this, I was missing this feature, because most of the client doesn't know our name and there are some sellers who use their company name as a user name. So overall the feature is the best one !!

Yes, it is a good feature. It shows the real identity of the users.

I think it's a decent little feature to have, especially for those sellers who now regret choosing permanent user names like dogfarts1234. That's not a real seller name (I hope), but y'know what I mean. 

ROFL! That post made my day 🤪
