A tradeable consumable item that acts like a meal, and acts visually as a name change in chat for 1 month, while still being considered your previous name as well.

for example, I would use the coupon and be able to change my name to "Viper" and would show up as Viper and be taggable as Viper in chats. However, going to my profile would still show me to be Adder, and tagging Adder in chat would still link to my profile. after 1 month the coupon will expire and I would automatically appear as Adder again and only be taggable as Adder. Alternatively, you should be able to cancel the coupon early if you wanted to appear as normal sooner.

I think it should be treated as you holding both usernames at the same time, with people being unable to disguise themselves as either username, or being able to permanently name change to either of them as well.

for example, if someone were to try and name themselves "Viper" as their main account name while I have disguised myself, it should return a message saying "this name is currently being reserved, but it will be available again on xx/xx/20xx"

and likewise if you try to disguise yourself as another name in use, it should return a message "This name is already taken" to prevent impersonation

there's a lot of people who are very attached to their main usernames but also would like to have fun by "dressing up" as someone else now and then without having to worry about their main name being taken. I think this would be a fun item to enable such shenanigans among the community. I would hesitate to make them super cheap or common to prevent someone squatting on 2 usernames perpetually, (though if they wanted to spend the gold on that for some reason thats their choice and likely isnt sustainable in the long run anyway).

I would like this, but would like if there was a shorter option like one day or one hour since there are funny names I think of but don't want to have to keep it for a month

@Aristognition: that's where the option to cancel the coupon would come in, just like a meal :)
