Maybe I'm blind or can't read, but...

I considered something like this too. Maybe making a handle that's viewable when targeting/checking a player. That way you can change any time you want, but you'll always have the same handle.

I think it would be a nice middle ground. There are a ton of things they could do with the database, this could be one of them. In WoW, there were resources you could use to track players if they changed their name or even transferred servers, it did it by checking gear, stats, and achievements. If they integrated this into the lodestone, it would solve the problems people have with character re-customization, in my opinion.
