Yes, I changed during the beta last year, I was fine with my name but wanted to test the feature out and help with the beta. I've used a few different names online so I just switched to one of those that wasn't taken.

It's been months now without any issues, there are minor things like old highscores on Wipeout being registered under my old name, but any new ones take my new name. No loss of save data, trophies, DLC or unlisted purchases like Scott Pilgrim on PS3. The few known games with major issues are ones I'd never touched (I got Disc Jam on PS+ ages ago but never started it).

Glad they introduced the feature eventually since leaving it longer would just lead to more problems. Also offensive names won't result in an instant ban now so those people who chose a name that time and culture have decided is unacceptable get the option to pick a new name instead of losing everything.
