Your proposal would ruin infinite number of reasons why you better to behave including the similarity to real life in reputation and lots of other things. Will make the game way less interesting.
CCP would you mind to raise the subscription cost instead of all the stupid ideas thrown around lately? That will much better and faster fix your urge for money with a lot less consequences.
Negative vote for this one.

Target 0001 game is not real life but if game would be totally out of any logic nobody would play it. So this game have logic and everything interconnected in it like everything interconnected in real life. In this game you can't do something without appropriate consequences. In real life too. So there are similarities more then in other games where you can kill someone in front of a crowd and not be haunted down by game's equivalent of "Concord".
Paulize would you like to be spammed countless times or have yourself bashed out in forums or in game or whatever else going on in games where you can change you name.
People proposing this have interest in it but i don't see how changing your name will add to game experience. It will subtract from it for sure.
You should think about naming the character before you created it.
Change of name in real life not that easy, have certain consequences and you wont do it each day.
You want my vote on name change? Fine you will get that if you agree that the consequence of name change will be 5 mil SP deduction from random skills from your char you change name to and if you dont have 5 mil SP you wont be able to change it.
That will ensure that name changes to characters wont be epidemic in EVE and still force people to behave a bit.

You can change your name in real life. You don't suddenly forget how to walk to do it either. It costs you, and you have to convince everyone you ever knew to call you by your new name. Is it so unreasonable to be able to change it in game? For money? I'd say not everyone is going to just fork over cash just to change a toon's handle. If your old name is listed after the new under aliases, or change your block settings, whats the harm?
Under these conditions I would think about it. But why real money? Why not to use ISK? Some real large amount of it?

Sounds to me like youÆre arguing for name changes here

Name Changing will not unleash the apocalypse, a far worse option currently exists and no such thing has happened (Character Transfers, see the following). The same mechanics that keep everyone in line will still be there.

As it stands now the only option for obtaining a different name while retaining SP is to sell and then buy a character. These Character Transfers leaves absolutely no accountability. Name Changing creates a regulated alternative that has accountability. Thus it would reduce the amount of unaccountable acts making Eve a better place.
àhad you read the thread you would have seen that already

Depending on your nationality, it can be as easy as paying a fee, signing a document, and waiting. All of these æconsequencesÆ have been proposed already and thus it will not happen æeach dayÆ

Not really. A similar idea has been proposed already, although there are many better alternatives that are more grounded in logic

I too could care less what currency it is in; they are all interchangeable anyway
If name change will involve some kind of considerable consequence to it in game be it large ISK or SP deduction (better both) and/or forcing player to inform all his/her contacts in game that name changed so that they have to click something to see the change (dont you have to tell people you know that you changed the name in RL and answer questions why if it's not marriage?) as a measure to prevent frequent or really needless name changes I would vote for it.
