changing forum name

Username:
Name:
This is the displayed name that people will see

I'm curious, why is there the "Username" and "Name" option when you can't change the name option. I've seen forums where you can change the forum name. Is that possible to change the "Name" so that it's different from "Username"?

Eiii

To change your displayed username, you've got to PM jits with a request. He should take care of it for you.

I've disabled the ability to change your name.  There were some people abusing it, and it's really confusing when forum posters go around changing their name every day.
