Reason: My old username NCFriend was made nearly a decade ago. (It was once a username that I shared usage of across the internet with my immediate family.) I have used "Kurzov" as my online alias since 2017 just about everywhere. In fact the only reason I haven't submitted a request here until now is that I wasn't aware you could do it. If this could be done that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Reason: Hi, original name was chosen hastily. Since writing wikipedia articles is a part of our grade in several subjects it would be easier both for me and the teachers to connect the account name to my real name. I am aware of the risks that using my real name might bring, however, I believe the chosen new name is sufficiently safe. I requested a name change earlier and am sorry to do so again, but I didn't receive a reply to my comment. (I won't try again if you decide to deny my request this time).
