I've had my Gmail account for years and years. I wanted to change my name to match an identity (blog) which I've been building for years but Google won't let me do it. Is there any workaround?
Google will let me build Google+ pages with the name that I want to use, but it won't let me change my name in my default account.

Go to your Google+ About page. It should look something like the following URL:
Now simply click on your name, and you will be presented with an option to change your name. In my experience changing this name will change your name across any of your Google accounts.
