As the title says. How do I change my name?

(Y) Cheers

I think you have to wait a certain amount of time before you change it.

Since you've only just signed up, you may aswell just make a new account with your new name, or talk to an admin and see if they can do it for you

Deed poll:

A deed poll (plural: deeds poll) is a legal document binding only to a single person or several persons acting jointly to express an active intention. It is, strictly speaking, not a contract because it binds only one party and expresses an intention instead of a promise.

The most common use is a name change through a deed of change of name (often referred to simply as a deed poll). Deeds poll are used for this purpose in countries including England and Wales, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, New Zealand (until September 1995),[1] Hong Kong and Singapore. In England and Wales a deed poll can also be used to change a child's name, as long as everyone with parental responsibility for the child consents to it.[2] This involves the child's parents executing the deed poll on the child's behalf. In some other jurisdictions, you may simply start using a new name without any formal legal process being required. The usual requirement is that the new name must be used exclusively and that the change was not made with intent to defraud. Such jurisdictions did include Australia where name change by deed poll was possible, but now is done by completing a "Change of Name form".

Another common use is to partition land into different sections. For example, a piece of land may be partitioned (or carved out) by a deed poll into Section A and the Remaining Portion thereof. This form of deed poll is commonly used in Hong Kong, where the development and redevelopment of land is rapid and flourishing.
