Request for username change due to accidental use of project partner's name

A Hugging Face user with the username sagar72043 has requested a manual username change to nirmitha, citing an accidental use of a project partner's name and the need to use the account as a personal portfolio for machine learning projects and job applications, after already using the one-time username change option.

Request for username change due to accidental use of project partner's name
Image: Discuss (auto-discovered)

Hello Hugging Face Team,

My current Hugging Face username is sagar72043. I accidentally created my account using my project partner’s name while working on a project.

I have already used my one-time username change option, but I would like to request a manual username change because I use this account as my personal portfolio for my machine learning projects and job applications.

I would like to change my username to nirmitha a6(if available).

I understand the username change policy, but I kindly request your help with this exception.

Thank you for your time and support.

Regards, Nirmitha
