Issues with name change

Ok. Seriously?! /headdesk

First off I couldn't even create a thread until I enabled this character's highest job which is ridiculous. Why did SE grant us the power to change our names but then conveniently use asterisks and lovely red writing to highlight the change? I understand the name change tied in nicely for those changing race and sex but there are some of us who wanted to begin anew. A Realm Reborn should have provided players with a rebirth and fresh start if they desired that. I did not need to change my main character's name if you were going to give that information away to every idiot online weirdo -_-
