The name you see for every user in the portal is called the display name. It is not unique and can be changed by the user or by an administrator. There are no restrictions on the frequency of changes; you could change it every week if you wanted to. The display name is flexible. You can use just about any combination of characters and spaces to make a memorable display name. So if your name is X Æ A-12 Musk, you can use your name as the display name with no worries.
