The changing of names would be very good for members. I know it will bring many problems as bans, famous minecrafters names, etc, but a good solution for these would be:
A ) Minecraft asking you if you don't want to change your name ever again. These means your name would be forever for you. These will prevent famous Minecrafters names to be stole or other. B )Be able to change your name once a year or pay 1-2 dollars if you want it to change it now. (If you pay you can only change it once a month). These will help people not to change it daily and maybe Mojang in general. C ) If you have a bad history in Multiplayer as kicks, bans, etc. You can't change your name after more than 1-2 years or never. These will be hard as it will be hard for Mojang to register all these information, but if they can it would be great. Other: Maybe you can register your name or lock it, by purchasing the Copyrights with Mojang by paying around 1-10 dollars.
Well, this might cause lot of problems!
Bans, got banned change your name....
My suggestion is, everyone has unique id, from this id you get banned/OPed etc... Username can be changed any time.
It could work like this: You can change the username other people see ingame, but there could be a command that admins, OPed people, and the owner could use to see the account username. For example: I change my IGN, and I grief on a server (I never have actually griefed though) ,so when an admin is going to ban me they would put in the command (could be something like /name *nickname here* /username *nickname here* /IGN *nickname here* and when it is entered it could say something like: NickName: *nickname here* ---- Account Name: *account name here*) and use my account name to ban me. So no matter what your nickname is, your account name would stay the same, so admins, OPs, and the owner would be able to use the command to see your account name to ban you from the server.
I think they should make it so you could only change your name once every year. Then if you get banned, you still can't play on that server for a long time.
I attempted to get a Minecraft account but it told me to get a Mojang account and I fid. Now my Minecraft username is my e-mail adress.
I think the ones like me should get to have an actual username instead of an e-mail adress (I don't give out personal information). When that happens I will actually try to connect to Multiplayer Servers.

Wow, that really sucks. Not sure how that really happened o.O but. def. a sucky do!!
I agree that we should be able to change account name BUT, only 1 time a year and for the fee of 5$. Also have an account ID so if banned previously on a server, u will stay banned!!

Yea, and we might see a ton of "Honeydew"s everywhere, :/ . As for me, I'm 0CAPguy0, and I'm proud of it!
If you've ever played multiplayer you should be as vehemently opposed to this idea as I am.
Whitelists will become pointless, every time you change your name you must be re-whitelisted
Blacklists(bans) will be pointless, every time you get banned you can just change your name. Not all servers use smart IP banning solutions(Literal IP banning is discouraged because some players play on public networks like at libraries or internet cafes).
Most plugins will be pointless, changing your name will mean you will get the "Welcome to the server <player>!" every time, and all the data stored by plugins won't work. Your regions/claims/lockettes/etc. won't work, your rank will reset along with your economy balance and membership with any factions/etc. No one will recognize you and you'll have to somehow prove to everyone who you used to be.
Multiplayer itself just won't work. Your inventory is stored in the server files and saved under your playername, getting a new name will create a new file with a different inventory.
For those of you advocating a name change cost to offset the demand for frequent name changes, keep in mind who this money is going to and who changing the name will burden. Whether you pay $5 or $500 it doesn't matter, the money would have to go straight to mojang; meanwhile the server administrators are the only ones who bear the burden because they have to be inconvenienced with transferring whitelist, banlist, misc plugin data, and other server data over while receiving nothing in return.
If you're incapable of choosing an intelligent, appropriate and sensible title for yourself, then you probably have bigger issues to deal with - like figuring out how to work a toothbrush.
This doesnt have much to do with this topic (by the way, that would be an awesome feature) but i came here because i want a minecraft client that has GUI at the top telling me the minecraft colors (&4Example). Im really lazy and have a horrible memory. So if anyone could create or tell me how to do this, Contact me at [email protected], thanks.
10USD is a bit too much
Maybe 5 usd?

I agree, people would go crazy with their names if there is no fee.
It would make you think twice about picking something stupid.
