i cant believe some of you guys are defending blizzard for charging money for a name change when it should be free as it has always been pre-WoW.
its automatized, with a limit to one per season or one per month, it does not hurt anyone.
trolls/people that want to abuse the system? why hurt the majority of good people just because a few baddies are abusing the system? you should worry about map hackers first.
there is only one very, VERY obvious one reason to charge for name change; to make money.
if you want blizzard to grab every penny possible, be all for it but if you'd like some for the blizzard to give back to community, there is no reason why name change should be charged.
at this rate, diablo 3 is going to be monthly payment game.

Blizzard is a company. Like every company they have costs. SC2 has HUGE server costs and since SC2 is not like WoW with a "monthly fee", there is no way to lower those server costs.
Paying 10$ for a name change it's not much especially since you are not going to do it often. So you QQ to much.

i guess they've been doing it all wrong with warcraft 2, starcraft, diablo 2, warcraft 3.
they really didn't take in the consideration when prepping sc2 servers that they werent going to have monthly income for the servers?
and you think $10 per name charge can support the server? -,.-
(and really, you think $10 is ok for a fracking name change??????)
just sayin, why are people defending blizzard for charging people for name change when it really doesn't deserve a cost.

I'm not defending blizzard charging for a name change. If anything, I think name changes should be free, and we should be able to have multiple characters per account (on whatever server/region we like).
On the other hand, given the choice between the current system and one that's exactly the same but with $10 name changes after an initial free one, I choose the option to get name changes-- the alternative being $60 new accounts. I don't expect blizzard will give us free changes.
I hope they will.
But I don't expect it.

Agreed. The last thing I'm going to do is fight for my right to PAY blizzard.

Let's not kid ourselves here.. Blizzard has plenty of money.

I think it is best to have 1 name change a month, why are we arguing and begging blizzard to take our money?

I agree that free name changes are better. I think that where our views diverge is in regards to practicality. I think blizzard will under no circumstances electable by us implement free name changes, whereas you believe that is possible. Try not to misunderstand my point of view-- in an ideal world, I would be doing the same thing you are. I just don't think we live in that world, and that the best we can possibly hope for is paid-for name changes.
I could be wrong.
I hope I'm wrong.
But I don't think I am.

What did u tell them? 
edit: wrote a ticket and i hope it works .......
+ Show Spoiler +Greetings,
I am requesting the chance to change my battle.net account name. My current battle.net starcraft 2 name has my old "clan/gaming team" name in front of my gaming handle which is just 'xxx'. At the time of this name change I did not know how rare they would be. I thought paid name change would be implemented by now. I am requesting to have a name change, and I promise I will never change my handle again. I want to be known just as "xxx". If I join a clan I will wait until clan support on battle.net is ready and show that I'm in a clan that way, while still being just "xxx".
Thanks for understanding and your time.
A) Your Full name as it appears: xxx
B) Battle.net account name:xxx
C) Your Current Character Name:xxx
D) Your Character Code : xxx
E) Five character names that you would be happy with typed out exactly how you wish them to appear:
1 - xxx
I know you can do it and it would be very nice if you would allow me a name change, too.
I am looking foward to hearing from you,
xxx

I would have expected this thread to head in the direction of a huge push for clan tags. That feature would seem incredibly easy to implement and solve the majority of the problem.

I submitted my ticket, did it for the pros out there that need their names changed.

I agree with you but I don't think the majority thinks the same way, and they are the one that complains the most anyway on blizzard forums. They like to listen to those people often times.

I explained to them that I took part in tournaments that required name and code for entry.
I wasnt able to do this because the name id I had changed to, had characters in it that did not work with the tournament site format.
If you are persistant and have a good arguement you will get a free name change.
It took me 3 replies.

Nice, i have an open ticket now and if it doesnt work i call them up

Whenever I posted by small guide to how I got my name changed...I think I didn't stress the time. I submitted my ticket at almost midnight on a thursday night on the east coast. 2 hours later it was changed. So I really think you just have to get lucky. It's really a shame/unfair, but that's blizzard.

Just got answered on my ticket by Garvalkin... and ofc he cannot do it...
