That'd be interesting. We also have a few related issues/things:

  1. an issue with @-mentions going stale after name changes
  2. we have a PR open to charge for nyms close in distance to existing nyms via a string metric (to prevent impersonation)

A nym change log would help with (1), and it'd give useful metadata for displaying (2) in satistics.

The main disadvantage would be that some folks may begin assuming a lower threat profile then change it for privacy reasons. Tricky.

We only allow alphanumerics and underscores in nyms, so WeAreAllSatoshi implemented a Damerau–Levenshtein distance IIRC.

But time is better spent removing friction right now given how friction-full the onboarding is.

The problem with levenshtein distance is that it treats changing O to K the same as changing O to 0, it's more about number of operations distance than visual similarity

We added a dictionary for visual similarity, but you're right we should use an algorithm that is purpose built for visual similarity.
