Many platforms have the ability to change the account name, but Steam doesn't have it currently. Even though it can't be seen by the others but you can still see it when you are signing in or searching in your account files, and this is quite irritating. :(

No cause our account name is our real name for Steam its a legal thing and tied to Valve and the Steam store with our credit card where as our player name is not and can be changed anytime...
No one can see our account name only us .
SteamID, Steam Account Names, Merging Accounts and Deleting Accounts

Not gonna happen. Not that its a bad idea per say but its imply not feasible. Valve made a goof when they initially set up that database and by the time they caught it well.. they had millions of users even more licenses linked into it.
