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
