Make it cheaper such as 20R$ to convert your name back to a name that you started your account with or a different name you already paid 1,000R$ with.
This is a necessary feature, because when someone buys a name with 1,000R$ and want to change back to their previous name, it costs another 1,000R$ just to change your name back to a name you did register and kept.

Support. Even if a user is not using their previous names, it is still a user's property and it shouldn't cost a lot to use your property.

This would be severely dysfunctional. For instance, what if your original name was sircheeseward, but you paid 1k robux to change it to sircheesealot. While you have the name sircheesealot, someone takes and uses your old username. They like this name, but you change back, and lets say they allow you to change back. This person would then be charged un-optionally for another name change that they never wanted in the first place. Now, lets say they didn't allow this change. Too bad so sad.

Either way I don't think you should get discounted for ANYTHING.

No support.

@ dolphin: YOU don't own ANYTHING lol. You RENT your character from ROBLOX. THEY pay to have our characters stored on their database. It matters not if it is 1/1000 of a penny or $10,000. YOU don't own ANYTHING.

Support. I think there should be a NBC charge, in tickets, for changing your name, too.

Severely dysfunctional, when you buy a name with 1,000R$, no one else can take it except for you. So you own both the names you buy.

NBC Charge? It would be really expensive to prevent NBC to change there name frequently. Theres like 1000 NBC's for every person that has bc. So this might not be included.

@Cahier,just because they "rent" they're Roboxian doesn't mean you have to be hateful. Get out.

The idea of the 1000 robux price is to stop you from changing your name.

Why pay 1000 robux for a name you're not satisfied with?
I'd go as far as to say you deserve your pain if you do such a thing. .-.

@jumpykilldestroy Once you change "your" name it's up for grabs. Yes someone can take your name, ROBLOX isn't going to hold anyones' name.

I hate it when people pst dumb threads like this; Think before you buy kids!

@Dragon,
It's actually not.

When you change your name your latest name, PLUS all of your previous names are _LOCKED_. Go and attempt to register one of my previous names (Quorum or Desperian). You'll find it'll tell you the username it already taken.

ROBLOX did this to prevent users impersonating other users. Imagine changing your name, if you were well-known and then someone sliding in and taking your old name, which made you "well-known". They would have inherited your "fame".

If we make the cost of changing your name back to your original one, people are going to be changing back and forth all the time. If you're paying 1000 robux for a name change, you should be taking a lot of time to consider what you really want to change your name to anyway. Don't make hasty decisions.

Find it funny I was simply replying, what I thought to be, truthfully, since I myself have always kept this name and will never change it. [Have never used this name change feature, so I assumed]

People think I was being mean or hateful. I wasn't Lol. Even if I was being two faced and being rude back isn't solving anything.

@Cahier I didn't think you were being mean, I called you an idiot for assuming you don't keep your old name after changing it.

Support. It's a ridiculous amount of robux for someone who has been on ROBLOX for a while, but never had bc so the only way for robux is trading tickets or buying it. But trading tickets you don't get a lot of robux so it is harder for new people if they want to change the name.

I don't want people changing their names back and fourth a bunch of times. Seriously, it would get annoying, as well as a little confusing. If you change your name, it's your responsibility to save up enough for if you change your mind.

Or, to simply fix this problem, keep your old name. I choose not to get involved with the feature.
