Eventually there could be a system similar to twitter .. where the handle can't be changed by the prefix can be .. such as Alice@steemit could become bob@steemit. Skype also does something similar.

Yeah I was wondering if I could only remove some letters..))
We really need this feature to be implemented ASAP. Thanks @ned
Yeah, I didn't realize when signing up (with my real name) that this would become my public username. Now I am wondering whether to ditch and restart from fresh.
Yeah, I was a little ticked-off at YouTube when I started my Steemit account, and it shows in my account name. lol
:))))
Same. I tried starting over with a new sign-up; however, it would not let me when I got to the stage of entering my cell phone number, saying that the number was already in use. Haven't read any more current posts yet as to whether or not there is a way around in order to create a username with some anonymity, but would appreciate some guidance if this is now an option. (Thanks in advance for any help!)
Same!
I would like this. I think privacy & the ability to change is important.
If comments can be edited—because the edits are on the blockchain—why can't handles?
I'm glad we can change it on our blog page, but the new feature is fairly worthless when the old name shows up next to comments, etc.
Can I change my username or still not able?
