FW's idea is a great one. Another option might be to simply put something in your search info like: "RP - ignore displayed name." I have seen people do this before, and I'm venturing a guess that most RPers are like me and will check out someone's search information before RPing with them for the first time.
Beyond that, the process for the server transfer name change is as follows:
1.) Create a character with the same name you have currently on another server.
2.) Transfer the character whose name you'd like to change to that server, which will force a name change for this character due to the name already existing there.
3.) You'll have to wait 72 hours to do ANOTHER server transfer back to Balmung.
I did this once myself, after writing my original 1.0 character (Teveriel Anduin) into a corner of sorts, and decided a fresh start was in order. It's pricey, but I personally found it worth it to to not lose my progress. You may not - but the option is still there.
Good luck, whatever you do.
