Part of the charm of EvE is the long lasting consequences for your actions. If you can wipe away your character's past with a simple name change a part of the charm is lost. Bottom Line -- Pick a good name to start and guard your reputation wisely.

The only time CCP will change a name is if it is offensive, or if it is just a capitalization change (as the search function and Eve in general don't account for capitalization). I once podded myself by blowing a huge fart.
