I would welcome the ability to change my Bungie.net name, or at least unlink my current name from my Live ID so I could create another one. I just changed my gamertag a few months ago and would like to change my Bnet name to match. Do you think that is a plausible feature we might see in the future? Also, how many of you would be happy to see this feature?

Maybe to prevent people from changing their name all the time you could only do it every couple months? Currently the only way to accomplish a name change is to leave your account inactive for like 90 or 120 days (I can't remember which) and it will delete your bnet name and unlink it from your Live ID. But I couldn't go that long without my BUNGIENET!

The most simple thing to do, would be to just delete your Windows Live ID account and then remake it using that email address. I don't think it would delete your GT, but I'm not entirely sure so if you do decide to do deleted your WLID account, look into it first.

From what I hear, Achronos can change people's names, but in all my years I've ne'er seen it happen. You can try sending him a nice PM requesting a name change, but no promises.

The other name changing option would be to make an entirely new account and then link your GT to that account instead. If you decided to use this method, contact a ninja first requesting permission to make a new account.

I don't see the harm it would do. Especially with time restrictions like you suggested. Wouldn't mind fixing mine...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will first politely ask Achronos before I experiment with deletion *shudders*

Yeah, I was hoping I would be able to make mine the same or similar to my gamertag.

Sorry but Achronos will ignore it. If he changed yours he would have to change 1000's of other users wanting the same thing as well to be diplomatic and not show he has favourites. You are not the first to request that you change your username, neither will you be the last so Achronos will not change your username, sorry. Try what Redphoenix suggested, that is the only way.

It happened a few times, but in general, the answer is no.
