If Monzo are saying that the monzo.me url has to be your full legal name

I’m not sure they are saying that?

Monzo.me URL and name

We can change this but it needs to be a reasonable version of your name and not to be in use by someone else! As as been observed, just give us a message through the app and we can sort it out for you

The only difference is that if that was done with a random string as I suggested, the Hacker wouldn’t know my name.

But you wouldn’t necessarily notice the change if the hacker only changed one character.

I have requested a reasonable change several times and been told no

Given your name - Can we assume this to be “Danny” or “Dan” as your reasonable request?

Mine was approved straight away when I asked.

True.
But as mentioned above, with the current URL anybody sending me a payment wont know the URL is incorrect either.

As they only know me by my Psuedo name not my real name.

So if they know me as SoftwareDeveloper1 and my link is /BillSmith…

The URL isn’t so much as a problem as it can be encrypted on a webpage, (although I think a random or encrypted string would be safer) but my real name at the top of the payment page would cause confusion.
