Thanks for the post! We do encourage people to use their real names as their usernames.
Our current policy is that each user can change their own username once[1] - you can do this by going to the Edit Account page and updating your “Display Name”.
After that, further changes to your username need to be done by moderators. Please contact us to ask to change your username. :)
Unfortunately we had a bug that took this one chance away for many users. This should be fixed for new accounts going forward, but if you don’t see this option in your Edit Account page, then please reach out to us and we will change your username for you.
