There's a Guy Named @fnaf And in His About Me All it Says is “I REALLY WANT TO CHANGE MY USERNAME LOL”. so I Think it Would Be a Nice Feature.

Can Scratch Please add a Feature For Changing Names?

This is rejected:

8.1 Changing usernames or changing display names
If a user could change their username (or even set a certain “nickname” or “display name”), this could be very confusing for the Scratch community, especially for those following that user. In addition, this would make moderation of the website more difficult because it would be harder for the Scratch Team to keep an eye on what a user may be doing. The Scratch Team has allowed username changes only on very rare occasions, such as if the username contained inappropriate content or personal information. Generally, the Scratch Team does not change usernames on request (including for reasons such as “I do not like my current username anymore”).

However, because of the way that usernames are stored on the server, changing the cases of letters in your username (for example, changing @Za-Chary to @ZA-CHARY) is NOT rejected; you can discuss it on this topic.

Please check The Official List of Rejected Suggestions before making a new suggestion.

Nonetheless, it would be confusing.

Plus, let's say I change my username to “randomuser2392.” If someone changes THEIR username to “musicrocks013,” would I lose my username forever? This would be a much greater issue for famous scratchers such as griffpatch and TimMcCool.
