I probably would pay, as I've actually been wanting to change my name for a bit. However, there is a limit. Anything over $5 dollars would be ridiculous.

Cryptic does this in a very interesting manner. It has a character name, display name and then account. It's freaking awesome but a bit too complicated for this matter. Instead let us do something similar to what Steam does.

Create an account name, allow us to change a profile name and allow us an amount of name changes in any given time. So say we're allowed only three changes every year or better yet two. And this resets but does not accumulate. This is a better plan and if they enact a plan like this allow us to change our account name in case we want that to be our display name but only once may we change the account name, this offer will expire after a month when we accept the new EULA or whatnot.

I'll repeat in summary: Create an account, tie said account to a display name and let us change that display name twice every year.

I know this has been said, but I felt it needed to be said again.

Nope, I'd pick a name I'd like and that I wouldn't change my mind about.

Those who pick names such as 'xXxUBARKILLARNIGHTSHADOW<3xXx' for example. If you pick a name like that you deserve to have to pay to change your name just to teach you a lesson not to pick a dumb name again.

People change. Their likes and dislikes change.

I loved my name when I made it, but now I think I've outgrown it. I'm ready for something more "me". Something more serious, and possibly a little deeper.

I wouldn't pay more than $5 though, and even that's pushing it.

Oh god yes! My mum set up my ps3 and she made my name 'bettysix', so now if someone wants 2 know my psn account name I have to explain it, it is really awkward trust me. (i actually have another psn account just because of that, but bettysix has all my trophies so...)

My name's R1ddleMeThat and I quite like it, so no I won't change it. I wouldn't oppose them putting in the option though.

I love Steam's way of dealing with names, where your account name is only important for logging in and you can create any ingame name you like indefinitely.

Nope. My PSN ID has so little value to me that I wouldn't even consider spending a penny to alter it. Plus, I already snagged the name I wanted and as such have the same name across this form, XBL, PSN and Steam.

I think Xbox Live has this feature for what, 800 MS points? I am pretty happy with my name, but would'nt mind the option to pay to change it down the track, not really going to shell out more then about 5-10 to change it though

Not really. I love Blazblue and Hazama's always been my favorite character. That's all there really is to it. People can make fun of me if they want but in the end it's just kinda immature. ;D

Why the fuck should I have to pay money to edit a few lines of data. It's fucking sad that people think this is reasonable. Are you fucking serious. I bet you think that 5p is a fair price for texting aswell?

It's fucking bullshit you should not have to pay to change your fucking name.

I don't mean to offend but fucking seriously? You think it's ok to have to pay? Jesus christ.
Those ones and zeros dont change themselves, they have to pay a fat guy £70 an hour to sit at a a screen and change em. See, your paying for a complicated process. Seriously this is stupid. I think its to stop people name changing every half a second so they can troll.
