If you check your account management page on Battle.net, everyone will have 1 more name change. I'm not sure if it stacks to 2 if you haven't used the previous one.. but everyone has another name change!!!

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/4482478

With the introduction of the BattleTag system, we’re in the process of evaluating how they might be integrated into StarCraft II, and how they may impact character names in the future. Instead of making everyone wait until we know how that integration could affect a name change system, we’ve decided to provide an additional free character name change for StarCraft II players eager to pick something else. We appreciate everyone’s continued patience and look forward to sharing more information on the future of the StarCraft II service as it becomes available.

If you'd like to change your character name, log in to Account Management and choose your StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty game license. On your game license screen a "Character Name Change" button at the bottom will initiate the request. After confirming that you'd like to change your character name, simply log in to StarCraft II and you'll be prompted to select a new one.

Thanks to Juicy James for notifying me.

YES!! Praise Blizzard that I can now change my name.


Edit: How many characters can your name be? 12 or 13?
The ruminations are mine, let the world be yours.

Very cool. I wouldn't mind them giving us name changes annually until they establish a permanent method to change it.

Guess that's what Blizzard tries to appease the Terran players with for the next patch. :D
