- At the Nym Configurator, Nym Accounts list select your nym.
- First of all store a backup of your nym by clicking Export!
- Change Name to Barbara, click Modify.

But that won't change the nym key's User ID.
To get that done try the following:

- At the Keyring tab with your nym's key selected use
Copy Secret and Public Key from the context menu.
- Open Gpg4Win's Kleopatra (or any other GPG frontend).
- Menu Tools|Clipboard|Certificate Import.
- Right click that entry at the Certificates list, menu Add User ID ...
- Change Name, not Email address, click OK.
- At the Nym Configurator click > to copy the key's mantra.
- In Klepoatra paste that mantra, click OK.
- Double click the key at Kleopatra's All Certificates list.
- Select the old User ID, click Revoke User ID, confirm, close.
- With File|Export ... and File|Backup Secret Keys ... save
public and secret key to disk.
- Use any text editor to concatenate both keys and
copy the resulting text to the clipboard.
- Within the Nym Configurator
select the Keyring's Paste Key(s) context menu entry.
A GPG error message may show up.
- Done.

Please tell us your results.

Why simply not delete this nym and create a new one?

Ok, I won't delete it, then I'll create a new one. Captain Grammar
