Well, the problem is simple: "Display names"
It can easily be done, it's been proven with countless mods...
However, it could be limited to be changeable only once every 30 days, which means a newly account can "Change" it's display name upon creation, and then again every 30 days.
This would minimize the payload of info sent to their servers.
Several accounts could use the same name, but their account name would also be their "ID" and in the player list their account name could be displayed in a parentheses.

Just like Second Life now has - it's simple, and is out there as a mod... but sadly only works for that one mod... it could easily be made into a global feature with a bit of tweaking.

Abuse is practically impossible due to the real account name being shown in the Player list on the server.

Sure there is some minor drawbacks, but nothing that would be able to bother anyone in the long run.

Problem is with this sort of feature:
Minecraft's crew are to overburdened with other more importent features and they themselves see no use for such a feature.
It's a shame really, but it's just not gonna happen any time soon...
Maybe when they start running out of ideas for the game and what "features" to implement, they will add this feature.

But i must confess, i myself would like a name change, or at least a way to "Mask" my annoying account name.
Even if it is only like a "Mask" kind of deal.

There is currently no possible way of changing a minecraft in-game name

Although with the next update it is expected you are able to
