Going to have to disagree. Reputations are pretty transient, even in an MMO. I have been playing XI since it hit NA and I don't remember ever hearing about other players outside of my LS or statics for any length of time. Even 4 months dow nthe line most people seemed to forget who did what when, unless it was just that horrible. Honestly, this isn't big issue. Let people do the one time name change, it won't effect anything.
