Default What is my P2P user name and can it be changed?

I see in my search results people's user names. I'm wondering if that is from the email address they used to sign up? Can it be changed?

there's no p2p username/etc to search. see
LimeWire Forums

"The names are just ip address's hashed to a dictionary of words. So if you have a static IP address people will always see the same name appear for you in search results. The names are a way to obscure people's IP addresses a bit while also making it easy to recognize the same host across different searches"
