#1 Limond Jan 24, 2011 11:52:37	I could not find any rules on this. I've played one adventure with one of my characters and decided that I'm not to keen on his name and would like to change it. Is there any rules on this or anything or am I stuck with the name change?

The reason you can't retrain your name is because all your meta-game documentation, such as story awards and your adventure log, is tied to your character's name). (There are other things you can't change, too, but this is the relevant passage for your question) So, by the rules, no.  That said, you've played exactly one game with this PC, and you're not trying to be duplicitous about it.  What I'd suggest (and I'm not a staff member) is to indicate this on your character log -- under character name, write "Newname (a.k.a. Oldname)". (Also, there's not a lot of message traffic on this board anymore.  If you're looking for a more definitive answer, perhaps from an LFR staffer, you should re-post your question on the (fairly new) LFR Community board: community.wizards.com/lfr/go/forum/viewb... )
