I'd agree that most of these tips are good. Actually I'd also advise against changing to something that's.. well... different from your original name, unless you really want to, you're fully ready, and some of your friends understand you. The reason for this is, no matter how well people know and love you (excluding those you may actually discuss this major name change with), you'll receive quite a bit of negative feedback, even if your name is totally more awesome than it used to be. It's this sort of psychological tendency that's unavoidable, people will tend to gain a bond to a short 10-letter string, and when you overwrite that string completely with a totally different set of letters, they don't react very nicely. I don't really know if I'm all correct with this, as I've only changed names once <_<, but it's always something to look out for.
tl;dr make sure everyone is okay with your name change before you do it

DO NOT
- Use numbers in your name; it's typical and unoriginal.
- Use terms in your name that can be used as derogatory against you; I can guarantee it will end badly if you use it.
- Use other people's usernames, replacing a letter or two with 1337 (Leet) symbols; Characters and numbers (|-| = H, |\| = N), because that's going to be really stupid; You ARE going to regret putting your name as "Blu3 Dr4g0n" or "p3ppy".
