No, he baaawed about losing all of his contributions on wiki. There's a renameuser procedure for the wiki but because I didn't count on any others using it I never mentioned it

He can request another name change in 2 months, as is protocol. By then the wiki will probably be public and such problems will be resolved.

No, I was wondering because there was a comma there.

I'll change it.

Technically, Baron Miller is a title, as in Margaret Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher.

Why can't people just find a name and stick with it? My forums, you must find a name and stick with it. Name changes on my forums aren't allowed.

If you live in the UK, where anyone can change their name by deed poll for any reason, why can't users of your forum change their names?

If you do implement name changes, I recommend changing their title temporarily to their last username.

Name changing on here is dead annoying. Even in the real life, it'll get confusing. A lot of you like to change your names TOO offten, and it gets quite annoying.

We considered this, but there were people like "Wild MissingNo. appeared" who weren't happy with the name they registered with. I can see why, which is why we're limiting name changes.
