Why do you want to change your name? I once made a typo in my Username on a forum and I hated it at first... The members on that platform admired my username and they
started to copy cat it. I reached lvl 100 in that game and got many comments on the username.. mostly positive. Things happen for a reason sometimes and If you are
using the same username for different services, you could easily get targeted. A typo or a wrong username might even be helpful. A recent example was the drug dealer on
Silkroad, who used the same username on different platforms and got caught, based on a compromise on another platform.

I am registered with many forums and in all my forums I use a specific name, so thought if it is possible here then will change my display name to the same one, so that anyone who knows me in some other forum can understand who I am, as in some forums am a super user but in some just a Jr. User or mid level. It is fine even if I cannot change my username, but thought if that would be possible.
Posting a simple question or query will attract so many answers was what I was not aware of
Thanks to All for explaining, criticizing and punning over my query.
