Greetings,
I just started playing Eve Online again after a two year break. I resumed playing my main character which had a decent amount of skill points(not worth it to start a new character). However, the current image and name of the character does not appeal to me anymore, especially since I want to start roleplaying in Eve. So my idea is basically this: Already CCP allows you to swap a characters portrait for a fee. I'd also like to see a feature implanted that allows you to change(or swap) your character's name. To prevent confusion, each character has a limited supply of name changes (1-3 perhaps) and a charge rate for each time. As CCP already allows portrait changes, I see nothing stopping this simple feature from becoming reality and would probably make me and alot of players more happy about our characters.
I hope you read this CCP!

Problem with this is the way it all relates to each other. I don't know anything about the Eve-O database itself, but I would imagine the character's name is the unique field everything links to considering no-one is allowed to use the same name.
Portraits are probably just assigned to characters. I can imagine it'd mess up quite a few things, least of all people's addressbooks!

Perhaps, I don't know anything about the database myself but it is a possibility that characters aren't recognized by names, or names solely. Swapping names between characters is probably better than applying for a new one, and the addressbook confusion won't last for long, especially if it's a one time only name change per character.
Anyway, it all comes down to how Eve is built. Is this a possibility? And if it is, what are the chances of this happening? Will it be a minor operation or a grand one? I'd love some dev responce on this.

I once made an enquiery about changing the name on another character. The petition responce was that they would not be able to do so as eveything like standings, security status etc do infact go off your name.
