Yes you can. Send me 500 mil ISK and I will file a report about your name being quite offensive to my religious beliefs. CCP will proceed to rename your character immediately and free of charge. |

You can't change a name, but you can change capitalization of a letter in it with a petition. (lower case letter to upper case or vice-versa).
The other options are biomassing and starting again, or not buying characters from the bazaar if you don't like the name. |

Some people ruin perfectly good pilots with a name like "BOB 12309" it's a shame.
OP, if it isn't transferred yet you can fill up all your character slots and demand a refund. |

Typically, the only way you can change your name is if it breaches the naming policy that is in place by being offensive or otherwise naughty or nasty.
The best thing to do is file a petition under the "Character Names" subcategory in "Rules and Policies" and see where you stand with regards to being permitted to change.
However, I will stress that character names are only ever changed in exceptional circumstances, so you're probably out of luck.
Hope this helps

Nice to see a CCP response. I for one am glad that this is the stance that CCP are taking on namechanging.
Allowing namechanges would be bad for the game.

so if I don't like my name, all I have to do is put it in urbandictionary as an offensive word, propagate that through social networks and after years of doing that, I might get renamed by a GM?

Mine was a minor change, but i did this. They were very helpful and capitalised (not sure if thats the right term) my name for me.
EDIT: I still can't believe i have a char named Maj0r Bums0re  I'm the voice inside your head...you refuse to hear, I'm the face that you have to face... the mirror in your stare, I'm whats Left..I'm whats Right...

Obviously you are stuck there as your name does not look like somehow offensive or nasty. :(
I'm also astonished about which names are choosen by some other people, and think silently "what a bummer!" But on the other hand it's *their* problem, not mine. Maybe they chossed it in order to not being contacted/annoyed by others?

Adding to this a bit.
You can find the EVE Online naming policy here: http://community.eveonline.com/pnp/namepolicy.asp
As Falcon says, we generally do not give exceptions to this policy. The name you pick stays with your character.
Known exception is when you have just made a character and made an unfortunate typo and petition it immediately. This only applies to typos and issues with upper/lower case characters. As per the naming policy, this applies to alliance and corporation names as well. No requests are guaranteed to be granted. Also if your character name is offensive in some way you can petition to have it changed, no disciplinary actions are taken against players that report themselves. Again, no requests are guaranteed to be granted. Senior Game Master | EVE Online Customer Support Team | Info Group | CCP Games

CCP, this all brings up an old idea for a change, and my own twist to it.
The reason CCP's policy is "No name changes" is your rep is tied to your name. But, in many ways that rep is actually the rep of the player, not the character. If the character is sold to a different player, the character rep is largely irrelevant. So how about:
When buying a character from another player, you can also buy for a PLEX a name change. This can only be done if the transfer is to another player, not between two accounts owned by one player, and only once a year.
Yes, there is an issue of people hiding who owns an account from CCP, and you could always transfer it to yourself by using an intermediary (expansive). But Sreegs is on the first, and the cost of the second is a big dis-incentive. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

No.
You already mentioned why not.
The only thing you got wrong was that having a cost involved made for strong enough dis-incentive.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |
