Suggestion: Let each user change their name anytime as long as they didn't change it in the past 12 months

Question

Adding a "formerly known as" that stays on the user's questions, answers, and profile for 12 months after the name change would also be nice. The only downside I can think of is that there won't be one time when everyone gets on a thread and comments on each other's name changes.

Comments

Q2A doesn't do this out of the box, which kills pretty much any PokeBase suggestion dead. Would be nice though.

That sucks. A lot of online forums use very similar name change rules.

Waiting for the name changes to be announced, eh?
