Hey, please read - How to change your name?.
Is your current display name your IRL name? In that case there could be made some exceptions.

You don't meet the requirements for a name change:
Dave said: ↑
As of January 10, 2016, minor & major name changes are honored as described below.

Note: All users who request a name change will be given a User Title to reflect back to their previous name for six months unless only a capitalization or de-capitalization occurs. Requesting UT changes before the expired time will result in an infraction for wasting Admin time required to process these UT requests.

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.

Note:

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

We do not release inactive names for minor name changes.

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.

Must have not been banned or had a DNT for more than 2 weeks nor received a pardon within the last 3 months. Cannot have a TWC at time of request either.

A second major name change can be approved if you have had your name for at least a year and you are a $500 donor.

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

Username change requests we currently honor:

Please bear in mind your desired name must be available/not taken, or it belongs to a user who has been inactive for at least 3 years - inactivity is different for long-standing accounts or those who have a tendency to return every few years.

Removal of numbers in a name (Example: Name1224 to Name)

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

Removal of characters such as underscores or hyphens (Example: User_Name to User Name or UserName)

Capitalization or de-capitalization of a 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 a username (Example: UserNameAsdf to UserName, NOT UserNameGaming to UserName)

Minor corrections of spelling

Major name change

Process of requesting a name change:

Fill out a Name Change Request Form.

An Administrator will review your request:

If you fall under honorable name change request number 1, 2, 3 or 4, 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 more in-depth.

If your name is changed, your User Title will be edited to reflect your previous name for 6 months unless only a capitalization or de-capitalization occurs.

All name changes will be listed in the List of Username Changes thread unless only a capitalization or de-capitalization occurs.

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

Name Change Request Form:
Code:
Current username:
Desired username:
Have you had a name change before?:
Have you recently had a DNT/ban/pardon?:
Honorable request number (1-8):
Have you read and do you meet the username change request requirements?:
A note on banned names: As of 3/26/2019, we are allowing name changes to names belonging to banned users. In order to qualify for such a name change, you must pay for all scams associated to that user on any accounts they may have had on sythe. This does not guarantee we will approve the name change though as we reserve the right to deny a name change to a banned user's name for any reason

A note on approved name changes: As of 7/6/2019, A placeholder account will be created to hold a users previous name for 6 months. This will be noted in the placeholder account's user title. After 6 months, the username will be eligible for future name changes through this thread.
