I'm looking to migrate my current account, created years ago when I was a child and with a badly unprofessional nickname, to another more serious Google account.
My current account is connected to many services and has also a Google Drive billing associated to. I have Photos on Google Photos and a Google+ Profile with pages. Moreover I have bought Android Apps on Google Play Store.
The Google Takeout tool is less useful then before, is not possible anymore to migrate automatically the Google+ connections and circles.
For what I can understand the situation will take a lot of effort; in any case what would the best strategy be to migrate completely a Google account to another?

Was your original Google account created with a gmail address (eg youngster@gmail.coem)? If so, then I don't believe that there is one solution for this. Instead, you need to transfer ownership of the artifacts created by each individual service to the new account. This is more than just taking a copy of the data and making it available to the 2nd account (what Takeout can help with), it's about giving control of the orignal data to the new account.
The way to do this is different for each service (and it's possible that there are services that don't have a method for doing it. Ones I know something about:
On the other hand, if your original account name is not a gmail address (eg youngster@oldISPmailService.com), then you can simply:
grown-up@myDomain.com)
