  For consolidation purposes with all my other web appearances, I would like to change my WordPress account name from icoco987 to icoco_de (or even better just icoco, but this one seems to be taken already). How do I achieve this?

  Anser to myself: There’s a button “change” beside the name in the account settings (http://wordpress.com/#!/settings/). But as it seems it’s not possible to change my name to icoco_de because WordPress.com (strangely) does only allow lowercase letters (a-z) and numbers, no special characters.
  So I solved the issue by changing only my screen name to icoco_de.
