It's only possible if you pay 50BTC to become a VIP member.

So, just give up or create a new account.

That's not quite true, theymos also does manual name changes, though you are very unlikely to get one.
It's mainly if a company rebrands (for their forum rep account), or for high ranking/long standing users of the community.
The chances for a newbie or junior member getting one approved are infinitesimal small.

Which brings us back to:

So someday I have a chance to find an alternative username. My problem is, I can not find any other name except my current one. I kinda fall for it. I have been using this username from long time in everywhere.

Hold on... I have a new one in my mind now, I am gonna keep it secret  ;D

PS: Thanks Lutpin, good to know this information. I always thought same like TryNinja.
