Removing Past/Old Minecraft Account Names

We should have the option to remove past/old Minecraft usernames. I believe so because many of us want to forget or keep our other names confidential. We all age and sometimes we can make goofy usernames when we were younger and we regret having those names in our history. Sometimes it is very embarrassing to see those names so having the option to remove those past names from your account history is very helpful and would make the community very happy and confident in name changing more. Hopefully you can consider this idea. (This idea was inspired by NameMC in the Name History Logs on your profile.) Thank you for reading my feedback. Hope I can make this community a better community!

    Well I may be in the minority on this one, but as a Server Owner I use the old names list to make my server safer.  We are whitelisted and take members by application only. We have had some Toxic Players in the past and they were banned, some them have tried to get re-whitelisted by changing their user names. If we no longer have access to the information of old names they could slip through and be re-whitelisted and start doing what they did to get banned in the first place. We do not ban at a whim,  but we do for Racial or prejudicial slurs, griefing , stealing and other inappropriate behavior. We were using the names to actually protect our player base.
