What are the benefits that you see?

Yes. I already covered this.

I get too many namechanges. Even I wouldn't want to keep up with myself-.- why make them do everybody including me, too much work for little to nothing results/worth

Thanks for your input everyone.

mm yea i remember when alphatux changed he's name to hide(couldn't know him) and some other people who changed they're names.
supported somehow

I know quite a few people who get namechanges to start over without starting over. If I were in those shoes, I wouldn't want a public list telling people I wasted money on a namechange just so people wouldn't bother me.

Supported if made private to the public.

This exists but is staff only, it's got a list of names and who changed them to what etc...

Doubt it will be made public some people change their names for privacy.

I suggest having a section named "Previous Usernames" in public user profiles rather than a whole list.

I don't mind there being a list, but I see a lot of complaining here about "keeping anonymity" which is why I suggested an alternative.

Why are people wary about having their old username(s) out in the open?
Do people get name changes to start new reputations?

I feel they should get a pm that said (do you wish to let other people know your name) other than that
