Hey, I am kind of new and accidentally made my name my real life name, and was wondering if I can change that because I didn't mean for that to happen.

How to change your name?

If you want to donate to meet one of the requirements to be able to be eligible for a name change: Sythe User Center

Excerpt from the post above:

Dave said: ↑
As of January 10, 2016, minor & major name changes are honored as described below.

Those eligible for a minor name change request are those who:

Have donated a minimum of 5$

Have a join date which dates to at least a year prior to their name change request

Have 2FA enabled at the time of their request and pass an IP check (To enable 2FA visit https://www.sythe.org/account/two-step and for a guide see: here.)

Have not previously changed their name via the minor name change system

Users with DNTs are still eligible for minor changes, but the changes are heavily scrutinized and may be denied.

Those eligible for a major name change request are those who:

Have donated a minimum of $200

Have a join date which dates to at least a year prior to their name change request OR are a $300 donor which are eligible for a name change after 6 months.

Have 2FA enabled at the time of their request and pass an IP check (To enable 2FA visit https://www.sythe.org/account/two-step and for a guide see: here.)

Have not previously changed their name via the major name change system

Will be given a User Title linking back to your old name for anywhere between 6-12 months.

Must of not been banned or had a DNT for more than 2 weeks nor received a pardon within the last 3 months.

NOTE: One character name requests are not allowed and we can in rare cases deny a request without reasoning.

Please bear in mind your desired name must be available/not taken.

Removal of numbers in a name where the alternative is available (Example: Name1224 to Name)

Replacement of a number in a name (Example: N4m3 to Name)

Removal of characters such as underscores or hyphens where the alternative is available (Example: User_Name to User Name or UserName)

Capitalization or de-capitalization of name (Example: name to Name or Name to name)

Removal of special characters in rare cases where the user profile glitches

Removal of random letters that do not add to the username

Minor corrections of spelling

Major name change

How to apply for a username change:

You fill out a Name Change Request Form below.

An Administrator reviews your request and if it fulfills requirements:

If you fall under honorable name change request number 1, 2, 3 or 4 above, your request will usually be honored.

If you fall under honorable name change request number 5, 6, 7, or 8 your request will be reviewed by an Administrator.

If your name is changed, your User Title will be edited to reflect your previous name for 6 months unless only capitalization or de-capitalization occurs - you will not be able to change it yourself in this time.

If your name is not changed, you will be notified as to why and given another opportunity to apply depending on the reasoning.

Your name change will forever be listed in the List of Username Changes thread unless only capitalization or de-capitalization occurs.

You can contact an Administrator in 6 months to request your User Title be removed and User Title request perk be enabled for you again if applicable.

A note on banned names:

Well, unfortunately as per Richard's ruling, if an account is banned for blackhat, scamming, vading (a scamming ban), or anything like that - we can't use the name cause it's needed for future proof. If it was a spam bot or some ban that isn't related to scamming or the other things mentioned above, then the name is up for grabs.

If your name change is affected by this you are welcome to apply for another change of sorts. Maybe in the future this can be overturned but as of now this is the case.
