Free StarCraft 2 Name Change Coming Ahead of Paid Name Changes
by Brian Leahy, Aug 16, 2010 1:50pm PDTEveryone will be getting one free name change for his or her StarCraft 2 character name from Blizzard soon, though Blizzard has only committed to the "near future" in terms of when this will be available.
"In some cases, people chose character names that don't represent their usual multiplayer nicknames, as they were unaware of how the character names were being used," explains Blizzard. "It's important to us that everyone is represented by a name of their choosing in their multiplayer games, ladders, and on the forums and community site."
This will not, however reset ladder statistics. Additionally, Blizzard will eventually introduce paid character name changes like with World of Warcraft.

And i understand too why you can only make 1 profile, because this has been talked about thousands of times. Its made to prevent people creating multiple profiles / accounts, just to stomp newbies.
In other laddered games these days they will just tell you to shut up and deal with it (like in DOW2), and here Blizzard gives you the oportunity to change it, even if its paid. And this money barrier will stop nearly all of the jerks that will want suplant an identity to harm the reputation of that person, while the people that really want to change name will have the option to.
