What level is it again to get a free name change token in STO?

There are no "free" name change tokens. You have to buy them. They're 350 Zen (which you could theoretically earn by converting dilithium, though at the current exchange rate it's about 175,000).

I'm still confused...how is the token different from changing your character name at the tailor?

You can't change your character name at the tailor. The name you change at the tailor is the name of the *outfit* (of which you can have several set up, and switch back and forth by either visiting a tailor, or by right-clicking your profile picture when on a ground map and selecting one of the options from a menu).

The name change token (that you have to buy with Zen as above) is the only way to change the actual name used in places like the loading screen, chat bar, and fleet roster.

(On a side note, if you do have multi outfits set up, the loading screen will always display your captain in their #1 outfit if you log out in space, and in their current outfit if you log out on the ground.)

Hrm that's odd. A while ago I clearly recall seeing a bar with my character's full name, and I assumed it was there for letting me change the name to something else. I didn't touch it because I didn't want to accidentally spend anything. But it's not there anymore.

There *is* a "display name" on the character screen (which you can access by clicking the "Edit Record" button on same screen). However that does not change the name that is displayed in chat or in the loading screen or in fleet roster, etcetera. It *does* affect what NPCs call you in dialogue boxes.

Ah alright, thanks.
