Hmm, i'm not sure when/if SE will be introducing a paid name change. I imagine that would open things up to a host of other issues, so maybe down the line in one of the larger 2.X updates?
A note about a "free" way to name change. I'm unsure as to whether you want to go this far, but my creating a character on a different server with your primary characters name, then transferring that primary character (the one you want changed) to the server with your new alt, you get a free name change (pre-existing characters take naming precedents.)
As for working the name into your potential Duskwight character? that could be interesting... i've always though of the Elezen prideful of their traditions, but you need only look to the wiki of Duskwight clans to see the variance of dispositions. I think the key would be how you work it in. You mention using it as an alias, perhaps he's wanted and thats why he assumed the name? Or maybe it was a tradition of the old band he worked with to provide a name on their entering the crew proper? (Like the skulls and shackles pre-made campaign for DnD, if you know it.)
It could have been a trial when he joined, maybe they set a wolf on him when he signed up and instead of fighting it head on he did something particularly clever. Just a thought.
