Idea #16124: Change profile name

Written by cudder the 2 Dec 08 at 02:55. Category: Security. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New

Make it possible to change ones profile name.

People might want to change theirs for a number of reasons and I don't see why it shouldn't be offered.

Its a dupe I agree with.. http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12534/

I had to create a second account to change my name, which is easy to do with gmail (because a.b@gmail and a.....b@gmail.com are the same email accounts).

But it makes things messy..
