Consider the following alternatives to a username change.
* If you would like your username to begin with a lowercase letter, place {{tl|lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your [[Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing your signature|signature]] to reflect your preference.

Note that this is not an acceptable alternative to changing your username if the name is in breach of the [[Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]].
* If you want to retire from Wikipedia, place {{tl|retired}} or a similar declaration on your userpage. A request for a rename to something like ''RetiredUser123'' will be declined.
