  Instead of having one name on your account, you can have a nickname, this is what your account registers as in-game, and is the name you use when you go in game, on forums, and everywhere, basically. You still login using the old username you signed up with, but your nickname is what appears with anything else. ROBLOX can make this feature free, but limited to a time period or ROBUX. If you change your name inside a game, it stays until you rejoin a server. You may be thinking WNTS, and I am too, but since so many people asked for name changing, I might as well try to suggest SOMETHING that may work.

  If you search up someone's old nickname, it still comes up with whoever that was, but you can also search for only usernames, or what they used to sign up. It shows everyone with that specific nickname if you just search people, and it shows everyone with that nickname, even if they changed it again.

It shows all results of who had any name. If you want to find one person, then you can search by sign up name. If people share the same name, it shows everyone who has that nickname.

Don't you think that will be annoying? Do you realize how many people will take the nickname "The Bloxxer", the first chance they get? Imagine going to "People" and trying to look up your friend who's name is "The Bloxxer", you would have to go through millions of pages of "Mr Bloxxer"s just to find your friend.

They can say what username the signed up with, because that is unique, and if you put an @ before your search(adding on), you search for that specific name.

There have to be other flaws, this was lazily written. They didn't even say why they didn't support, just NO and NOPE.

Support. I hate my username and chat name. There should also be an option of what type of chat color you prefer to use.

Nope.

People will change thier name to admin names and trick people.

People can go around scamming with those nicknames, and after a day they change it then they are new people and the cycle continues.

@remember
Maybe it can be moderated, and anything that is a famous name can't be put in. Anyway, actual admins would have an R in a circle next to their name.

Simple solution.
Don't allow changing names to admin names.
All admin chats and posts have an identifier within them (Eg, a ROBLOX logo or something) to prove that they're genuine.

Spamming that will not help anyone, also, admins ban by ID, not name.

The stupidity it hurts, you asked me to clarify you ungrateful c$#$.

The people will circulate the name as a scammer and the scammer will change his name scammers rarely get banned.

Just stop... this is a WNTS topic...
It's not going to happen...
And there are too many flaws in this plan for it to even be considered.
