Does anyone know how to change their username on a gmail account.?

My brother created a gmail account for me, but I want to change the user name he set up. I can't find anywhere on the website that will allow me to do that.

    Actually you can't, your best bet would be to open up another account and transfer your data.

    Try this and see if it works. Log into G.Mial. click on settings at the top, then open Accounts and Imports Tab. Click edit, located to the right of your e-mail address, click the bubble next to the empty box, below your name and type your desired name into the text box, click Save Changes. If this doesn't work accept my first version, lol.
