we role play as an adventurer in a medieval setting

we have castle, busy business city, lively port city, and god-forsaken town in a middle of a jungle. we have knight, mage, mystical creature with a bit of magi-tek blend on it
does changing your name, your gender, heck even your race is logical while role playing in this kind of setting?
I don't know, but I don't think it's possible. Currently this setting doesn't have the proper technology to do so. what do you think?
Who said all of us were role playing O_o? People want to change their names for the sake of changing their names. It's not a game breaking mechanic, it's not anything bad. People just want to change their names either because 1) They're tired of their name. 2) It won't look right if they change their gender/race. 3) They're changing it for the sake of changing it because they have the option to. Or last and foremost 4) They just want to simply change their name. I'm not saying these are facts mind you, and I'm not saying that these are what most people want, this is what I think of when I have the option to change my name or if I want to change my name

I don't see any reason why people should even argue if they can change their name or not. The argument of simply "Roleplaying" does not help either you or anyone who uses that said argument. Changing their characters name is fine if it's only for just one time, hell shouldn't hurt anyone really maybe SE because they have to go through their database to change some data.
