It's been proposed here before and I'm proposing it again. Give the players the ability, for a fee, to change their character's name. There is absolutely no legitimate reason to disallow such a mechanic.
Here are some ideas for CCP to implement name-changing:
- Charge $20.00-$30.00 per name change and limit the number of changes to 1 or 2 per year per account. Given a conservative average of 500 name changes per month, this would gross CCP $10,000 - $15,000 monthly. To get a more accurate estimate, look at the number of character transfers that occur per month - most of those would have their name changed.
- Increase volume of character transfers due to the ability to change the name. This would, effectively, boost the fees collected for character transfers
- Appease your player base! The vast majority of players in EVE are either for the implementation of name changes or indifferent. The cost to implement the code would be low compared to the revenue gained and the appreciation from players.
Respectfully Submitted,

i was about to say "but man it exist already o_O" when i realized that no, i was thinking about the portrait ^^ seein all the others paying services it's strange this one is not available. i suppose they didn't implant the code for it, player name = player ID ? so it's a pain to change ?
i don't care this thing, but need to know it if someone on our contact (be it red blue or neutral) use it. a simple notification mail would be enough. ---------------- ** Wormhole Trading ** |

Its easy to change your characters name.
Transfer all isk and assets to a temporary character.
Press the Bio Mass button on your main. Wait for DT. Create new character with a new name.
Transfer assets and isk back.
The cost of course is all the skill points you have ammassed. A fair trade for the anonimity of a new identity me thinks.

the following can be inserted pretty much anywhere inbetween what Dav said.
Deal with the consequences of making an idiotic name
and
Deal the the consequences of doing naughty things with your character
and
Think before you ruin your reputation or create your character's name.
I've had my stupid character name for almost 5 years now. If i can handle it, so can you. oh wait...
also, there are multiple posts on this subject already. -T'amber

this
Would benefit scammers, corp-theifs, and the like. Would not benefit honest or average players in the least, aside changing from a name they no longer like (which is easily remedied through character transactions right now).
There are consequences to every action in eve, this is one of it's best traits. You can mastermind the greatest heist in history, though your toon's name will be tarnished as a result. Make it worthwhile. There aint no such thing as a free lunch.
