Why isn't my name hidden and can I hide my prestige levels?

Why is my name still visible to other players despite having 'Hide Your Name' enabled in tab Online under Gameplay Privacy? Also, is there no option to hide my prestige levels? I play on console if that helps.

Thank you for your assistance.

    We console players don't get to hide our names. The devs gave some reason about it breaking built-in console functionality, and despite the fact that console really needs it more than PC, BHVR went ahead and just gave anonymous mode to PC players and excluded the rest of us.

    There's no way to hide prestige levels. I've requested this option since BHVR previewed showing off prestige. I do not like other people seeing my prestige level. No matter how irrelevant it is, other players do judge you and it creates problems.

    It is the 'Anonymous Mode' that will fulfill your request, not 'Hide Your Name'.

    The reason why devs removed the 'Anonymous Mode' from the console is described in the 6.2.2 patch notes.
