    What should I do if I am trying to set up an account and Skype says "Skype name invalid"?

    Make sure you are trying to create an account and not using the login page for existing members. If you are on the account creation page, your requested username may already taken or you may have a word or characters in the username that is not allowed. Try changing your desired username.
