If you have been following me you know I play games with my kids. We play everything from Fortnite to Roblox and even console games. I bring this up because I was playing some Roblox games with my youngest son and he told me that I could customize his name on my friends list. That is right, you can change their name on your own account. This is great because just like on your phone, you can give a name that really reflects who they are – plus it is fun.
