:(non clerk response) Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. I would recommend against renaming in this case. If it happened, your pseudonym would be publicly linked to your real name in the renaming log and the archives of this page. If you do not want people here to connect your account to your real-life identity, I would suggest this course pf action:
:* <s>Withdraw the request by using strikethrough. I cannot link to how to do it properly but you can find it in ].</s>
:* Stop using this account and do not resume using it.
:* Create a new account with a different pseudonym (not H3llokitty now that you have made the connection) and use that one.
:] (]) 08:25, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
:: {{Not done}} {{u|Sanidanicole}}, apart from the points mentioned above by QwertyForest, there is no point in renaming your account, as you have made no edits at all apart from this rename request, so you have no editing history to preserve. Just abandon this account, and create a new one. ] (]) 11:04, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

:{{Done}} {{u|Popturtle}}, you should now be able to log in with your new username, and the same password as before. Your old username in editing histories and user logs will have been automattically replaced by the new one. However, I'm afraid the username in pages will not have been changed; that means, for example, your sinatures and mentions of you by other editors in talk pages. ] (]) 10:54, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Request board for simple changes of username
Changing username/Simple
Shortcuts
This page is a forum in which users can request, and global renamers (including stewards) can consider and carry out, requests to rename accounts to usernames that are not yet taken on any Wikimedia project. While global renamers carry out renames, other users (including bots) help by "clerking" the mechanics of this process. If you wish to help as a clerk, please read the linked page carefully.
Requests to "usurp" an existing username should be made at Misplaced Pages:Changing username/Usurpations; straightforward requests may use Special:GlobalRenameRequest.

Instructions
Once you have decided on the name you would like:
  1. Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
  2. Check to make sure this username is not already in use. Do this by searching for the name here. If the name appears in the results, even if on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
  3. Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
  4. Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
  5. Click here to place your request.
    • Add your desired username after NEW=
    • Add a reason for the change after REASON=
    • Do not change anything after CURRENT=
  6. Make sure that you have spelt your desired name correctly, including capitalization and spacing. Save the page. If your request is submitted malformed, please remedy it according to this page.
  7. Check back on this page periodically to answer any questions that may arise regarding your request. Please be patient. It may take a few days for your request to be completed. If you do not answer any questions, your request may be declined due to no response.
  8. Once your request has been completed, please do not remove or change your request. It will be archived automatically by a bot.
  • Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.
For help 'vanishing' from Misplaced Pages,
please see courtesy vanishing.

Important Notes After you are renamed...
  • Due to technical limitations, usernames may not start with a lowercase letter. However, you may use the template {{lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your signature to reflect your preference.
  • Underscores and spaces are considered identical by the MediaWiki software.
  • Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy.
  • Please understand the implications of using your real name before requesting a name change to it.
  • ... your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited.
  • ... your userpage and any subpages will be moved to the new name automatically. Please do not attempt to move them yourself.
  • ... links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be left behind to your new userpage.
  • ... your request will be automatically moved to the archives in the interest of transparency.
CautionDo not be surprised if you suddenly cannot log in to your old account; this merely indicates that you should log in under your new user name as the request has been fulfilled.
