Dude (@ Empyre), you are saying "CCP shouldn't allow it because scammers will be able to run away" He is saying "Scammers already can run away since there is no sp needed for most scams and buying a char fix the sp problem anyways" (you don't know this??). He ALSO said in the very beginning that he propose a "paper trail" (i.e you can trace the name changes and history) to the name change. I.e. you are not making any sense in trying to tell the OP that he isn't argueing properly and that you have "weapons" of "logic" and "common sense" (lol).

(points at own name... sighs...)
I can change my face for ten bucks. I would be happy to spend ten bucks to change my name. That's money in CCP's pocket.
And I'm perfectly happy to see "name changed" in my employment history and deal with the inevitable "so, why'd you change your name?" question that will certainly come up in a corp interview.
A number of early posts in this thread are spot-on. When we downloaded the trial, we plucked the first name that came to mind out of thin air. Two weeks later we subbed, and since we'd already invested two whole weeks in training we certainly didn't want to re-roll (yes, there's some sarcasm in them-thar words, since after two-plus years a couple of weeks seems pretty trivial). Worse yet, I did it on not one, but two accounts. And I hate my other account name even more than this one.
I totally agree that actions should have consequences, and that your history *should* follow you around the virtual galaxy. Being able to adjust your name so that it fits the character you've grown into is perfectly reasonable.
Heck, I can change my R/L name. There's no reason to make it impossible to change my game name... Unless the mighty devs did something tremendously silly in their database design and used the character name as the DB key field... Which would make adding name changes a major undertaking...
(glances once again at own name... sighs...)

Why CCP at least won't add a character creation name generator to give the people knowing they can't come up with a name to save their lives a break is beyond me.
I mean why even bother writing fiction when the universe is populated by troglodytes like Bigguns666, p00p & arragorn?

TLDR... I totally support this idea. I would pay $10 for a new char name, even if my old one is logged in some kind of alias history.
Look at my name. I'm absolutely thrilled to be an out-of-the-closet atheist... but when I started EVE I didn't know anything about corps or Ventrilo or realized how bad my "first name" sounds.
Ironically, I actually like my char name, but...
...hearing people call me "iimaan" or "aim'n" or "eye-man" all the time is not fun at all... and there are plenty of decent-sounding names I'd like that aren't taken yet - many of which are quite similar to this one.

Forethought and mature thinking. Just like common sense, they are rare commodities.
Not signed, live with your mistakes and learn. Also, scammers will love this, wtf are you thinking?
If you don't like the name you gave to the character you created, you have an option: biomass.
Flame away. For example, I still regret that I can't get Tagami [w/out Wasp], the toon I created in open beta, cause I didn't think I would come back to EVE and pay for it.(Can anyone can help with that?)
Thus, when I made this new char, I tried to keep my new name close enough to the original.

Disagree, for this reason:
When I first started playing EVE, I created a character named "hackbackwards". I like that name. I intended it to be my main character's name. Unfortunately, when I started up the EVE client, all the text was messed up beyond belief. I couldn't read anything, had no idea what I was clicking on when I went through the character generation process (this was back in '04), and went into the game with a completely random character. On top of that, I wasn't able to read any text in-game besides what was entered in a chat window. After talking with the people in the "Help" channel for a bit, I fixed the problem, and found out that my starting skills and attributes were nothing like what I'd wanted. So I tried to delete "hackbackwards" and create a new character with the same name. Then I found out about the ten-hour time limit on character deletion, and since I wanted to play right now, I created "hacksideways".
My current name is a result of a graphics ****-up and a small amount of impatience. All I want is to be "hackbackwards" again, not "hacksideways". My friends will still be able to find me because of the "employment history"-like option in my profile, and if this benefits scammers, who cares? They're a part of the game and if you fall for them, too bad so sad.

Although I am still slightly ambivalent about the idea, I think the gist of it, and the premise is still good. Having my reservations as to the actual execution within the game database put aside, I should hope this will get implemented one day.
Sometimes I think it would be wonderful to change the names of my other two alts, and just give them all "Barker" surname.

How about scrapping the ISK/RL money idea for just an "Alias" option in your char profile. If left empty, it uses your character name. When filled, this becomes your displayed name in local and everywhere people would see your name. If someone searches for either your original name or your alias, they get the same profile with "(your character name here) aka (your alias here)".
Maybe limit it to a once-per-6-months (or longer) timer like the attribute remap. Put in a delay (NPC corp dealing with all your old paperwork and changing the names) of 1 week before it takes effect. You could possibly attach an ISK/RL Money cost to it to keep everybody from using aliases. Add an "Alias changed to XXXXX" entry in your corp history, and we're set.

The isk/money bit is just an added incentive to promote better character immersion, it doesn't need be there but without it most everyone would be fooling around with aliases, more so than intended.

People will outgrow their characters and given they cannot max out they will become disenchanted with the whole experience if CCP persist in keeping them hardlocked into a name so horrible no-one, not even their worst enemies care to recall them.

I like the idea of aliases... not so much so that I can change my name (although that is the most obvious use for such a feature), but so that I, my corp, and my alliance, can assign an alias to other players.
This should probably be a private system, but maybe with the possibility of making it public, so every player can see a list of players other nicknames, and who calls whom by what.
Eg, if you come up with something hilariously catchy, other people might join in with it! Though, I suppose theres posibility of abuse, I think it'd be great.
Now, how was it that I used to refer to JerichoSteele?

Why not make it like remaps, you can only do it once per year (at most) Your user ID is kept, so if you are in any address books you remain there, as well as any notes.
