I would be happy to. I'm not going to quibble over a couple of days. The policy is only there to limit the staff workload.

As Cats said,
originally we had no fixed policy because we only received a few requests via PM.
As more people posted their request publicly somewhere in this forum, more people found out they could request a name change. Eventually this thread established itself and, inevitably, the frequency of requests increased (both here and via PM).
It was as a result of a number of people requesting frequent changes (a few even changed their minds three times in a week) that we change the "if you're going to be fickle, we'll say no for at least 6-12 months" rule of thumb to a "make sure you really want the new name because you'll have to wait one year between changes" policy.
