I think that they should allow name changes once per update. Since there is a version update every few months, that is enough time to be able to choose a new name, but still make you think long and hard whether you like the name or not, since there is no defined release date for each version update.

Will this allow Bukkit Plugin Developers to be able to create something that changes the name displayed above a players head without affecting the skin?
I like that we're finally getting namechanges, that's been wanted for a LONG time, but I do hope they find some way to keep griefers out.
I also hope they add some legacy support code in, so that way 1.7.5/1.6.4/1.5.1 server, etc don't blow up, otherwise every server, mod, etc explodes and becomes unusable.
I run a private modded server and would be very sad if Tekkit Classic for instance stopped working.

I'm on the CSM team, but I've retired from Minecraft modding for the most part. I made Cliffie's Goos.
I'm an old-timer, been around since Alpha. MC: Windows 10 edition is like the uncanny valley, almost modern Minecraft but off in every way.
I have an XBox tag, but only because I needed one to try the Windows 10 version. I don't have an XBox.
YES YES YES YES I REALY REALY HOPE THAT THE PERSON THAT GOT MegaX NO NUMBERS FIRST CHANGES HIS NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hello I am an Xonian I live on planet Xonia a highly evolved race of glamlargs and us Xonians have what you earthlings call super powers and we are cyborgs.
Da name changing seems liek awesome sauce and I might change my username to RedstoneShuffler even though I would change it back later but then some weirdo comes along and renames their person "shufflesninja" and I am stuck out of that username eternally so yes I think that
I have a suggestion for this. What about aliases? You change your name. And no one can take your old one. You can also switch back to it if you want. I don't know if aliases will work for backward compatibility or not.
What do you guys at Mojang think about the aliases idea?
Finally! A chance to change my name! I'm so excited, my old name just doesn't make sense at all and its way to long. Hopefully I'll be able to change it to something more simple and short. I'm tired of people mistaking me for a guy ._.

All the mods, resource packs and maps that I support all go in this awesome sentence.

So what your saying is that one of my best friends can finally change their name? Awesome, since they refused to play since they didn't like their name... I know several people who will benefit from this.
Minecraft still needs a friends system so you can track the changes in your friend's names/ maybe join the server they're on.
(And maybe have a nickname in parentheses after their IGN as per you own choice, kinds like Steam.)
Just saying that would be cool and useful to the greater part of the community, and if you don't like it, you can just ignore it entirely.
Server / world aliases would be nice, but display on different color -forced by game- to not pshing, clicking their name on the chat would show their current name
Great! I do see some of the problems, but you see someone (a guy) gave me my account. I'm a girl. And guess what the username was? (ThePerfectDude) HORRIBLE!!! People called me gay because of that and I had a girl skin. BECAUSE i'M A GIRL!!!! So i cant wait to change it,
