Reason: My current username seemed offensive to me. So I want to change my name. I had placed a request previously but Nihonjoe told me that my chosen name was offensive.

Reason: I would like to change my account name to my actual name instead of an anonymous username. I'm aware of the risks of using a real name, and accept those risks. Thanks!

Reason: Want to keep anonymity while I actively protect my Wikipedia biography. My wikipedia biography was very recently vandalized, and I'd prefer my name not so clearly show up in the edit section as I protect from other's attempts at humor or disparagement. Thank you very much. Greenbotz 07:05, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Robot clerk note: I have detected the following problems:
The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at
Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to.
Done. The user "Igor Fedenko" has been renamed to "Igor Fedenko (usurped)"; the user "Ingvar-fed" has been renamed to "Igor Fedenko".

Reason: It sounds better in my opinion. That is the username I use on all other sites, and my current username is old and I would appreciate if I could have it changed. Thanks!

Clerk note: It looks as if the account can be possibly associated with a school "officially" perhaps, this isn't a valid reason for renaming. Can you please select a legitimate username which doesn't represent any organization or trust? And if it isn't representing the school or trust, please clarify.

Reason: Current name violates the company/group name policy, but was not intended to be used as a company or group. Renaming per the guidelines for my personal account.

Reason: Time for something new. As someone with a universal login, when would I "logout of your global account before coming back to the English Wikipedia" to avoid recreating the old account? Is this after I'm unable to log in because my credentials were changed?

Done It doesn't actually matter. Re-creating the old account does no harm in your case since you don't intend to use the old name or usurps or do other things. Just log in with you new name now. MBisanztalk21:08, 14 November 2012 (UTC)reply
Yes, both User:Cantiun in zh.wiki and User:百家姓之四 in zh.wiki are me, and the latter one is recreated due to keeping logged in with a universal-login account during the renaming process.

Reason: My current username is known at various other sites. I'd wish not to associate my Wikipedia-account with those sites, but to remain more anonymous.

Reason: This is my genuine real name which I would prefer to keep private, it is for one misspelt regardless, people have had difficulties when they try to search me and I would prefer to use an alias which is simple and easy to find. Thank you, I would be grateful if you could complete this request.

Done. The user "Griffin5" has been renamed to "Anthonyramos1". You will need to file separate rename requests for Commons, English Wikinews, and the Simple English Wikipedia, however.

Reason:
WP:ACC has denied my account creation request with the username Bui as it is too similar to Bul which was registered over six years ago and has
no edits. Bui appears on five other wikis with a total of two edits between them all, so I don't see the big issue about giving someone Bui on the English Wikipedia. If this request is denied, could I request a usurpation to Bul and then change that to Bui?

Reason: The current username was used at the time of creation to standardize all login user names. Since then, I've tried to change from that nick to a more matching-of-personality and matching-of-interests nick. Given my affinity for Doctor Who personally, my IRC and Ubuntu Project presence has become that of "The Lord of Time" or similar. Several other sites have this as my username and persona, and I'd like to match up my persona / username on Wikipedia accordingly. TrekCaptainUSA 20:02, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
Reason: I seriously hate this name, and I made it years ago. I go under Corvoe as a preference now, and I'd just like my Wikipedia to reflect that instead of showing my youth. --KЯĀŽΨÇÉV1301:56, 23 November 2012 (UTC)reply

Reason: I would like my real name to appear properly, but when I created the account a few minutes ago, I did not realize that you can include spaces in a username. So I would just like to change my username to include the space between my first and last names. Thanks for your help!

Reason: I just recently registered for the first time with Wikipedia and started editing my first page. I registered as the name of the person who I was making a page about. I did not understand the username registration/editing process. I thought it was required to register a username for each page I wanted to edit. I did not know that I should use only one username for all pages that I edit. I would like to change my username to just one unique name that I can use on all pages.

Reason: I am Saeed Parto, but mistakenly and not knowing how Wikipedia works, when I decided to write a contribution about Shiva Mahbobi I chose her own name, Shiva Mahbobi, as a username. But asking about it, Frankie explained that my username can be Saeed Parto, and in fact it should be under my own name to avoid impersonation. So I wish to change my username, but not the name of the article in user space which currently is User: Shiva Mahbobi.

Hi, this is wrong. I DID NOT WANT the name on top of the article which was 'Use:Shiva Mahbobi', to be changed to 'User:Saeed Parto'. All I wanted to do was to change my user name that I use with password to log into my account and which appears on top right hand corner of the page along with sandbox...., to be changed, I discussed this with Frankie, he assured me that this would not happen, but it did. . Can you please change the 'User: Saeed Parto' to User:Shiva Mahbobi'. Can you please let me know when this is going to be changed? This is confusing and people who would search for Shiva Mahbobi would see User: Saeed Parto on top of the article.

Reason:
User:SudoKamma is an away account for
User:SudoGhost. Using Sudo as a prefix for a username
isn't as uncommon as I thought, so I wanted to change the username to make it more clear that this is an alternative account, to avoid even the appearance of sockpuppetry, and to make it more clear that this is my alternate account. -

Reason: I used my name as a username when I registered a while back. Now that I'm actually using this account, I figure it's probably best to a) be a bit less transparent and b) be consistent in name across my web presence.

Reason: I'm consolidating all of my usernames into my primary online handle, "KingCharles108". I haven't used the name Captaincapitalism for a while, and it's actually difficult for me to remember what my username is here. I'd prefer not to just start a new account because this is the one I used to create the page for "Friday (Rebecca Black song)", which is my only claim to fame, really.
