We all need this. Why isn't this a thing already? Make it to where you get 3 name changes a year or something along those lines.. surprised this doesn't already exist!
Hello! I hope I helped answer your question.

Sorry, but this has been rejected by the scratch team:
8.1 Changing usernames or changing display namesplease read The Official List of Rejected Suggestions before making an suggestion.
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 contains personal information or causes gender dysphoria. 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.

I recommend reading jvvg's essay about the scratch team before complaining, as it may change your opinion and provide insight on the topic.
coming soon :)
