Eh, perhaps?
I just tend to roll with additional information in my profile as needed.

I'd like to change as well, got a few too many a's in my name.
Well there isn't even a way to reset a password (from what I could tell). So I had to sacrifice all my sweet karma and create a new account when I forgot the password.
You can reset/change password by going to https://news.ycombinator.com/changepw . However, make sure you have filled in Email box in your profile.
My name sucks. I'd change it too if I had the option.
Why not just have a karma requirement? Earn to change.

Your account is less than 2 months old. Why not just sign up again with a new name?
Because changing my name would be far easier.
Me too, my alias here came from gaming sites (not Street Fighter), which isn't really appropriate for HN. +1 for a way to change usernames here.
It seems rude (overly burdensome) to email admin asking them to change my username as an individual request.
And yet, a 'change username' form seems like it would take only a few minutes to code.
My guess is this may be a common regret?
