In creating my character I realize I never added their name. Currently the character's name is based somewhat on the last character I created here in D&D Beyond. Anyone know how to get into the creation stats and edit it?
There are times where you can Edit the name in the places IamSposta listed, but it still doesn't change. Just leave it and walk away for a while (or a day or two) and eventually the database will update and the name you wanted to be there will appear. This can be frustrating sometimes because you know what you wanted and mistyped something or wanted to convert the Copy character to the Original and it won't change. Just give it time...

An expeditious way around that is to log out and log back in to trigger the server to reset its internal cache and then just wait 20 minutes for the character sheet to catch up. That usually works.

You can edit character name in either one of two places: the “home” tab or the “description” tab of the character creator.

Thanks everyone. Yep, I eventually figured it out.
None of the places listed allow me to change my character name. Do I really need to recreate my character to rename it?
No, you need to make sure that you go to the page within those settings where you can edit the name.
If you are on the website, go the characters and then press edit it is the first page. The one before race selection.
To trigger the sheet to update a name:
type in new name in the home tab
toggle “homebrew content” on/off
done
the font is changing?? how do i change the font of my character's name?
