I think that's a wise suggestion, notfred. (Speaking of names, yours reminds my monkey brain of "Not Dead Fred" from Monty Python's Spam A Lot". He's one of my favorite characters. :)
Even in the event that someone's reasons for changing may be related to something that could be called "negative" or "maladaptive" or some other descriptor, I'm finding it hard to understand how that could be perceived as a problem to the extent that it requires a rule limiting it.
I'm not in favor of implementing this idea as a rule.
