Sorry-this is a rejected suggestion, meaning it won't be considered being added to Scratch unless a realistic workaround is provided for the reasons for rejections. I've underlined the reason for rejection in the quote below in case you'd like to easily see it :).
You can view all of the rejected suggestions 8.1 Changing usernames or changing display nameshere.
If a user could change their username (or even set a certain “nickname” or “display name”), this could be very confusing for the Scratch community, especially for those following that user. In addition, this would make moderation of the website more difficult because it would be harder for the Scratch Team to keep an eye on what a user may be doing. The Scratch Team has allowed username changes only on very rare occasions, such as if the username contains personal information or causes gender dysphoria. Generally, the Scratch Team does not change usernames on request (including for reasons such as “I do not like my current username anymore”).
However, because of the way that usernames are stored on the server, changing the cases of letters in your username (for example, changing @Za-Chary to @ZA-CHARY) is NOT rejected. You can discuss it on this topic.
