This is not possible at the moment.
Hopefully, this will never be possible in the future.

To expand a bit on this, which IS the answer to your question, but might leave you baffled anyway:
In EVE, your reputation is very important. Are you a person who sticks to his word? Can you be trusted as a member of a player corporation? Or are you a scammer, or someone who gets his friends in trouble by ill-advised smacktalk?
And your reputation is linked to your name. I can, and would, if you would for example be trying to join my corp, google on that, see if you have any skeletons in the closet. If you could just change the name of your character after a few scams or ****ups, that'd totally wipe clean your slate. Thus meaning bad people would have a MUCH easier time...

Normally the policy is that we do not change a players name after creation unless it is deemed offensive. That being said, the best people to answer your question are the Game Masters so I suggest you submit a petition.

Since it is possible to sell and buy toons, it should also be possible to change the name of the toons.. imo.

I don't see what the two things have to do with each other. If you buy a 'toon', you buy the name and the reputation of that character as well as its skills.

Also what's to stop someone selling a toon to themself to get rid of said reputation?
CCP allow character transfers only because it would be impossible to stop, there's no incentive either from those already in the game or for the developers to action this kind of thing. People ask for it a lot but yif ou just stop to think about it for more than a second you should begin to see the issues.

Is that the same reason why they allow selling ISK and botting? ___________ EVE is dying! Now for real! |

CCP allow transfers because they get a piece of the action.
I suppose this must be my sig. I'll do something cool with it eventually. |

They don't allow botting. But yes, it's also why they allow selling isk, after a fashion. If people are going to do these things and they don't completely break the game then they might as well make money out of them. If there was a way of making money from allowing automated actions, and it didn't make the economy and thereby the game utterly pointless, they would allow that too.
