I wanted to make an account with a certain name, only to see it's taken. When I search the People page, nothing comes up. Except a player with that exact name, only as their previous username.
Make it where namesnipe accounts who change their name have that original name available. Now, of course, some names would need to be blocked, like Telamon, mse6 (it's MSE6 now, note the caps) and really any old mod name that's been changed. This could prevent people making namesnipe accounts and changing the name, for example: Say an account named Namesnipe changed their name, and somebody else wanted Namesnipe. They can't, because it's "in use", even though technically it's not because the owner changed names.
If you got confused: Allow us to make/change our names to names that have been previously used.

What if the changed name one thinks the new name is crap and wants to return to old one?
That case is still possible. |

If you think the old name was better, why'd you spend 1000 ROBUX to change it, then 1000 ROBUX to change it back? If you change it and don't like it, that's your fault.

Don't support What if someone did something bad and changed his name, someone takes the name, now you got some people saying that this dude that had his name changed, did something and in result the guy gets banned because he changed his name. Plus, I agree with what that one guy said, a bit above me. Forgot his name. What if they want their name back? I do not support this; it's a bad idea. Sorry. |

As I said, if you don't like your new username, that's your fault for having time to think it over, then spending 1000 ROBUX for it. And what if a namesnipe account goes inactive for a long time, or changes the username then goes inactive? You can't use the old name.

Epic.............
There is a bubble saying if they had their name changed.
They can also take another 5 seconds to notice they changed names. |

| Also, it will confuse some friends of the change named user. If the changed name one forgot to tell their friends, then the friend will still think it's the old username, not changed. |

That's happened to me before. My friend changed usernames, I didn't know, but you can just tell them, or put it in your blurb, shout, etc.

I don't support. I feel like it could increase the chances of people using it to impersonate others or create drama.
For example, let's say I changed my name from Acebatonfan to CookieMonster. If this feature is in place, someone who does not like me or wants to impersonate me can namesnipe the name Acebatonfan. They can go on to claim that they are me, and that I reverted my name back to my old on.
It might also be a bit more complex for the in-game ban system. As far as I know, it only allows one name. If someone were to take my name (like in the previous example), and my name was on the "banned list", then they would not be able to play that specific game. |

Old usernames should be changed to things like "old(number)" |

| If you don't like the username you made, you better change it back fast... or not if nobody even uses that name. Mine are just scrambles of words and some letters and distorted. |

Support. I always wanted to have the username "Matthew," but of course it's a name snipe and the account never got used again.

This will cause problems.
If you wanted that old username- you should have been there in 2006-2007.
And I like having formulation and declarant as my old usernames. |

So it's my fault I can't control when I should be born? I don't think so.
