Simple question: Is there a way to change a character's name?

Only by deleting it.

OK I am clearly impersonating some hystorical politic personality from the history :D .
Just that the name I chose at a more mindless age and right now it seems so tacky. Plus I got attached to some name I used in another MMO I just quit, MMO that I won't name due to advertise issues.
But anyway they should allow name changes, for a price ofc, maybe some people realized being named OCS5409854SDSAD is not that nice...
Anyway waiting an offcial reply.

They don't do name changes, not even for a fee.
For any new players, there's this classic from three years ago.

The official stance as published by CCP is no name changes. Everything about a character is tied to their name, and allowing name changes would be completely destroy all credibility of the game. You'll see a lot of threads on these forums where the overwhelming player response to the issue is to not allow name changes.
Now, having said that, a character under 24 hours old (or otherwise extremely new) may have unofficial pity taken on them by a GM, but I wouldn't count on it. Petition is your only hope. Alternatively, go to urbandictionary and create an entry with your name as a particularly vile sex act, and then petition it as inappropriate.

Would a giant dildo called Warrior Katsumoto as a hydraulic drilling torpedo do the job?

I think I've deleted 3 avatars.
One I simply created and then deleted because I wanted to look at something in an area of EVE I didn't have a character in - so I created a character named "Born To Be Biomassed" or something like that ... paid virtually no attention to their portrait and got one that bore a distinct resemblance to a witch. Anyway - that character did it's job - and was no more.
The other two were characters I picked names for - and then - realized the names were unfortunate choices I'd not recognized when picking them. Yes - I lost some time and money on those characters - but fortunately I recognized my error early on and deleted them before I'd really spend a lot on them.
The odd thing was - I got to keep their pods.
As far as money and ships - you can simply give them to another Character. Just make a new character, go into People and Places and do a search for that character - right click on them and select Give Money. If they are on the same account as the first one, make a contract accessible by that character only and contract them your ships and stuff. Then the only thing you lose out on is the skill points. Of course - if they are on different accounts - you can just have them both in the same station at the same time and do a trade.
Some of this becomes more complicated if one of the characters is on a trial account.
The only time you've got to watch it - is if you've got a character with a negative security rating - as they frown on people just deleting characters to rid themselves of such encumbrances.
Actually as EVE names go - Warrior Katsumoto - is not that bad.
It's not like the guy in Estel's post ...
Of course ... that guy's name might be worth keeping solely for the humor.

A good portion of eve is your reputation, and so it¦s stuck to your name. They won¦t allow it to change, ever. You¦ve got to live with Warrior Katsumoto or biomass him, with all SP lost.

After about a month in EvE I changed my name, my complete identity. I simply started a new character. Started again from scratch. It became my main. Very few have a clue who that first chick was.

I'd rather change bloodlines, also not possible (for forum alts it is though) although the in-game implications are about zero.
Anyway afaik the only way to change your name is having it reported as an inappropriate name in some language. They do allow you to change small characters into capitals into, but that's not really a phonetic change.

One last time, because I don't think you quite get it: You realise that when a name is changed you don't get a choice on what it's changed to?

Names aren't really all that important I imagine in EVE. When I saw Tube Child I just put X and then a random number after that; that's the extent to whatever "roleplay" I engage in.
I recognized a Tube Child probably wouldn't care for a formal name or have one.
