Every one of us picked our Minecraft user name when we signed up on minecraft.net for the first time (and every time thereafter). For most of us, knowing that whatever name was chosen is stuck with us forever is just a part of the game. Still, what if you gave yourself a silly or inappropriate name? What if you're just tired of the one you have? Currently, this means getting another copy of the game - but maybe not for long.
Jeb hinted that username changes might be a feature in the near future, something that Mollstam is looking into currently. While there is no set date - or even a hinted one - for the feature's arrival, it would seem that it's more a matter of "when" than "if" now.
Maybe I can use this opportunity to change my name to "MrFluffykins".

Wiki Skin Overhaul
For years, the Minecraft Wiki has followed the same visual format as many wikis - it's a tried and true look, after all. For one user - namely, Ultradude25, an administrator on the wiki - this just wasn't good enough. Leading the effort to revamp the wiki's appearance, the community has given Minecraft's most popular wiki a complete make-over - head on over and check it out!
Minecraft Wiki will seem quite familiar to forum regulars - keep in mind however, that the visual re-design was done entirely by volunteers! It is, in many ways, another reminder of just how strong the Minecraft community is, and how far it reaches. It's hard to think of another gaming community with such strong dedication, passion and sense of unity. Congratulations to Ultradude25, and everyone who helped him out on this incredibly ambitious project!
10USD is a bit too much
Maybe 5 usd?
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.
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 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!!
I wanna change my username to Dominiciscool or like Dominicthethird or something
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.
I agree, people would go crazy with their names if there is no fee.
It would make you think twice about picking something stupid.
