When can I change my name in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II?

You can change your name only when your account has a token. You can see how many tokens you have available in the screen where you were typing a new name. You earn a new token every six months, so make sure you use it wisely. You can have a maximum of two tokens.

Remember, changes to your Activision account require a restart, so that may be the reason you don't see your name changed immediately.
