I assume you mean a client-side option.  I think this is available server-side, but I disabled it by default because it was really spammy.

newbie is now known as newbi
newbi is now known as newb
newb is now known as new
new is now known as ne
...

Of course, that was when the name edit box updated instantly.

Think this should be enabled or disabled on the client by default?

I would say enabled.

1) Newbies don't know why the same player can have different names. If they get a warning someone changed their name, it might help their understanding
2) The people who consider this a warning disturbing, are most likely also the ones who know how to disable it
