How to Change Your Digg Name
Digg.com is a social networking website that allows users to share and promote interesting links and content from around the Web. Users register accounts with which they "Digg" interesting articles, links and media all over the Internet. As each link gets more "Diggs," it receives higher visibility on the Digg.com community. Each account profile lists all the links the user has promoted on the site, and has a unique user name. If you want to change your Digg.com user name, you can't change it yourself; you must contact the site's support team and request they make the change for you manually.

Check that another Digg user isn't already using your desired new user name. Log out of your Digg account and click the "Join Digg!" button at the top of the screen. Type your email address, new user name and click on the password field. Do not click the "Create Account" button. When you click the password field, Digg automatically checks to see if the user name is available. If another user has already registered your desired user name, Digg will post a message on the screen notifying you the user name is not available. Keep trying variations of your user name until you find one no other user has registered.

Tips & Warnings
If you don't mind starting over with a brand new account, Digg allows users to have more than one account, so you can just register a new account instead.
The Digg support team may take anywhere from several hours to several days to complete the name change for you.
