This action would have a big cascade effect on all your previous actions: private messages, voting, submissions, comments, users who follow you, your settings and subscriptions etc. A rather costly operation on a large dataset and prone to abuse. Allowing such change once per month should be doable, but there are still other aspects like user mentions notifications that would suffer. Not a priority at the time being, but it is a "nice to have" feature.
