Well my idea is everyone gets a code attached to your account. You woudnt know your code but it would be in a database. You can change your name but not code. If you get banned then it not only bans your name but your code as well. So even if you changed your name 100 times it would still not allow you to join a server your banned from since your code was banned.
if i behave weird in my post; it's not that i am weird actually. I like to pretend being weird just for the satisfaction of me and to make the community feel more normal. herpy herpy derp. btw, comic sans.
I personally think this would be a horable feature. Me as a server owner this is dumb. here is an example.
Admin Player1 changes his/her name to Player3
Griefer Player2 changes his/her name to Player1
The griefer now has admin controls
admin has no rights because they changed their name to Player3
server has turned to crap.
I think that would be possible. But it couldn't be for free, and that you could change anytime you wanted to, there would have to be limitations. Maybe a cost of 5 bucks or something each time. Another idea is that each user would get a user-code thingy, you couldn't change, that would be used when you banned someone from a server, so they couldn't just change their name then come back, that would just be a total mess I think.
In my server I have a plugin that allows me to type /whois (player) and know everything from how much health they have to their real-life hometown!
Make it a one-time change that you have to pay money for, with the old name available to see on the /whois, and make sure the old name isn't able to be chosen. (Technically, it's still yours, you are just wearing a new mask on it.)

hmm, maybe we Jeb should make the name changer so it can only be done once, as if it would be done multiple times, it would be really messy in servers. i still want to change my name once, through.

My issue isn't that I don't like my MC name, Its that I want my MC name to be different than my MC login.
On less person who knows my Login by looking at my MC player name is one less person who can attempt to brute force my account.
Really what I would love to see is something like Steam.
You have your login
Then the uniqueID that the servers get
(thats how they perma ban you regardless of how many times you change your name)
Then you have the Username that people actually see
Added security through obscurity would be welcome indeed.
Perhaps if everyone had an account name, and a user name. That way bans will still work, and spammers can be stopped, but we can still have name changes.

stupid childish name i chose when i was bored.
after someone changes their name, when you see them for the first time, the server would tell you their alias.

BE known in game with the other name.
This would certainly stop the huge amount of stupid names that include numbers and crazy stuff.
