How can you tell if someone has name changed?

Hi Yonihadtoask.
Everyone is free to namechange whenever they like - as long as it's not done for misleading/trolling purposes.
And folk do like to do so in order to post more anonymously - so, actually, the idea is that you don't know they've namechanged.
Obviously, sometimes people namechange simply to have a laugh: lots of folk make themselves a Christmassy name over Christmas, for example - those ones are easy to spot because they're meant to be spotted.
Does that help?
