The Status of New Accounts

Does anyone know the status of making a new account? I tried to make another account, but I have not received any notification outside of the initial "We will let you know" email.

Also, is it possible to change the name of the wallet, or does everyone just change their user name and disregard what the actual wallet is called.

I wrote some content for a news website, but due to some journalistic differences, I would like to upload the content to another channel.

Thanks for the help
