No. It's not possible for any kind of script to change a Player's name. Or a character's name, for that matter. Only CoreScripts and the Command Line can do things like that.

If what dig says is wrong (and I'm not sure if it is or isn't) you'd do

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Name = "Name Here"

The player inside Players I'm 90% sure isn't accessible. If it is do
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name = "Name Here"

Character may work though.

You can change Character's name, it is possible.

It's not wrong. If you name the Character, then stuff breaks. ROBLOX have some way of checking if the name's changed and change it back.

And LocalPlayer.Name = "" wouldn't work because the Players' Name property is locked.

Well I've been to games and seen admin that does it, it may not directly changed your character's name, but that's what I was asking.

Those admin scripts that change names simply rebuild the Character with a new name. Basically, they clone the character, put it in a new model and set the name of that. Or something like that, there's different creative ways to do it.
