What is the difference between bot name and bot username?
The name is the one that appears in the red box (in the photo below), it will always appear at the top of the chat with the bot.
The username is the one in the yellow box and is the one with which you can link the bot in other chats.
Each bot on Telegram has a unique username which therefore cannot be the same as any other bot on Telegram. The bot's username must end with “bot”, for example "Modularbot".
The name can be changed at any time, while the username cannot be changed after bot creation.
