As far as I know, all it takes is an email to **TubaDiva **and you’re set. Just be sure to explain why you want to change your name… name conflation is probably as good a reason as any, if not better than most.
Or y’all could elaborate your names: Say, STARTingline and SHAKESpeare.
But I never did think that a START was SHAKES’ peer.
Actually, I have no trouble with those. It’s SPOOFE and spooje, respectively. That “J” makes a world of difference. Also, the caps help us old folks. (If there is a “Spooge”, I’ve not seen him/her so ignore what I just said, because that shit can be confusing.)
Oh, and in regards to the OP: I can tell y’all apart just fine. Just because you both have all CAPS and start with “S” isn’t a problem. I think maybe some people need to read more carefully if there’s a name mixup.
I also (on preview) realized SHAKES wasn’t all that mad (if at all) but thought I’d take this chance to be a voice of reason for a change. Y’all have no idea how much I yell at this board without actually typing!! 
I miss spooje. He was hilarious.
SPOOFE I meant. I am an idiot.
I don’t get them mixed up. SHAKES is a redneck homophoble, START hasn’t hit my radar yet.
Uh, can anyone tell me how to dislodge pie from my lung.
Funniest thing I’ve seen all day.
Taking away the name START could also be confusing for people being that I have established myself under that name but I am willing to put this thing to a vote.
From now on everybody that posts after this please vote; Continue being START or Change my name to STAKES…but seriously vote on it.
Is that a whoosh? 
If by whoosh you mean a joke.
I’m just saying I would let the Dopers vote on if I change my name or not.
This is something I can respect in a poster. I believe you should keep your name, START. Since we’re being democratic, how about SHAKES change his name to “involuntarily pees”?
I think it would be a lot more interesting to have SHAKES and STARTSHAKIN’ around here.
Well, neither of us has went away…
I can never remember which one of you is the guy with the toothbrush, though.
See! I am an idiot! As soon as I read that I remembered his name was spogga (and that is probably wrong too). Damn all you Sp people, you confuse the morons!
What, praytell, have you established? A fresh “start” could be the best thing to happen to you on this board.
And START is responsible for dumbfucks confusing his name with SHAKES because why?
Anyone that confuses the two names is just not paying very close attention (if they are paying attention at all). These are also the same monkey farts that put makeup on while driving, stand at the bottom of an escalator looking confused while people pile up & people that park in non-parking spaces because they think they are the only ones that exist.
Why not pit the braindead dipshits that confuse the name? They both begin with an S and are in all caps, but other then that there is no similarity. Any person that confuses the 2 names needs to take a reading comprehension course. May I reccomend Reading for Idiots?
And Gaudere’s Law strikes again.
OK, now I am getting confused. START and SHAKES are two different dopers? Which one is the asshole?
J/K
I’m still superior to those that confuse the words START & SHAKES.
That may not reach quite the high level you are on but at least it isn’t the bottom rung of the evolutionary ladder.
