theymos sometimes changes names for users, however, that's not happening very often, so do not get your hopes up.
You may PM them about the request, see if it leads anywhere, but honestly, I think that's wasted effort.

Moderators and VIP members can change their names on their own, but I doubt it will be worth the 50BTC you'd have to pay to become one to you.
If you want another name, start off from scratch. Either that or stick with what you picked while registering. Those are your best options, I'd say.

Only Moderator and VIP member can change their name, you can donate 50BTC became a VIP member and change your name (as Lutpin post), but now it's will be same as $45,000. Just create a new account and you should have nice name before create new account after that don't use your old account, that the way for you if you can't be VIP member.

Correction: All donators can change their username. However VIP members can also pick a custom title. Nowhere it's stated that only VIP's can change their username:

If you donate 10 BTC, you can get a special "Donator" title and a green "who's online" color. If you donate 50 BTC, you get VIP status and the ability to create a custom title for yourself.

allow all the donator to change the username? what about the people without that, such as ndnh (ndnhc) or Lauda (LaudaM)? a bit weird about the lure. ??? some of the people can have a custom title without being a VIP.

The admins can change usernames, add custom titles, add admin notes, etc. upon request. However they do not grant such requests to everyone, typically only to high ranking, active members.

Also, Lauda was able to change their name as they were a staff member, which has already been explained by Lutpin. ;)

Create a new account if this is something that worries you, but I'd be more concerned about signature campaigns not accepting you because of your poor posts as opposed to your name.

He actually should be more concerned about being able to continue to post here with his low quality posts, above signature campaigns accepting him, and his name. (OP was banned today)
