How would I go about getting my name changed?

I don't think you can because in this thread, Deandra said you can only get your name changed if you have a very good reason for it.

When you change your name, people who already know you on the forum will get confused and maybe won't realize you're the same person. So don't view name changes as something to request casually--in most cases, they aren't a good idea.

Edit: On talking it over with the other mods, we've decided that we're not going to change any more names unless people have a very good reason for it.

But if you do have a good reason for it, you should PM one of the mods.

Yep, if there are some extenuating circumstances such as two people registering with virtually indistinguishable names, or someone registering with an offensive name, they can be changed. If you feel like you've got a good reason for it, send a PM to me or any other mod, and we'll take care of it.

In the past, we offered name changes to anyone who asked, but then people started making frivolous requests, so we stopped it.
