You can be flexible in the initial validation - it's reasonable to allow William Jefferson Clinton to go by Bill Clinton if he wants to.

And it's reasonable to allow name changes - it's not unusual for people to get married, or for companies to rebrand.

But why let people change names without repeating the validation process? It's not like people are getting married several times a year or anything like that.
