    A previously used profile name cannot be reused; even if it is not being used by anyone else; and I think the reason for that is: because message-post author-names never change(in a broader sense), and the reason for not changing post author-names is probably: security, clarity, avoiding confusion etc. But why can't one reuse a profile name previously held by him/her? (That shouldn’t cause any problems)

      A name should be able to be reused if it was your own. Only those names in use by member's marked as Active are unavailable.

        I wanted to change my current name to my previous name "rahul_sindhu", but CP is not allowing me to "reuse" it! should I wait for my profile to be marked as "Inactive" or is there another way? !HELP!
