Google+ is the new social network launched last week, and the new third party web applications are started to launch for Google+. Here is the New and excellent web application which used to Choose Nickname for our Google+ profile. Yes, like Facebook we can create the Google+ profile nickname but it is not the Official one but it can be used to share our Profile URL in short form. (ex: http://gplus.to/jinuem)

      Some one already registered that username. so try some other unique name.

        Thanks for your attention.

        had tried countless times/nicknames. same results. Is there any limitation to create nickname, means only once like that????

        Thanks in advance.

          Yes of course. One username for one account. you can not create another username for same account.

      I think there is no way to rename or Remove till now.

      Instead of rename, there is an option of “update nickname”. Just log on to your G+ and go to the http://gplus.to, click the “update nickname”.
