| - | Well, Mr. I Can't Get A Good Username Here, instead of adding periods to your name, why don't we come up with a ''good'' username for you instead.

You don't ''have'' to have a username that implies you can't get a good username. Unless that's what you really want, in which case, I can't change it.

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, bureaucrats can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using Special:Renameuser. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.
To have your name changed, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled. With rare exceptions, multiple name-change requests by the same user will not be honored.
