do we get confirmation on name change?

I changed my in game name via the site since I didn't feel like running with "backer # xxxxx" any longer. Is there a notification when the change is completed?
 
I got an email a few days later to say the change had been approved. Not sure exactly how many days though.

When I changed my name from Backer #### to my chosen commander name it took about 3 days before I got the email from the guys at Frontier.
 
Yeah you'll get an email. Although I imagine they will have had a few thousand of these following from the influx of new pilots :) might take a couple days
 
I'm actually not so sure about that. Sure a lot of people would like to rename their characters, but the link to the site isn't very easy to find, especially since the forum won't permit "name" as a valid search parameter.

Be careful with this one from what I remember when you change your name does it not reset your account to a basic Sidewinder and 1000 credits or did they fix that bug?
 
I remember having read the same, and since I'm experimenting enough as it is I'm holding out playing beta 1 until the change is confirmed.
 
I'm assuming choosing you're name will eventually be more automated and be part of the setup process. I've been on Standard Beta and assumed I'd chose my name when I finally went online. Was a bit surprised I had to go through the support route.

Anyway, soon I will no longer be "Backer #41667."

I'll be "Backer #623423"!
