Change Minecraft name but already taken?

I want to give myself a name in Minecraft.

Unfortunately he's been there since 2015! In use.

Can I write an e mail to Mojang that she might

share the name for me?

If the name is already in use by someone else, mojang can't simply "release" it.

I think the account is no longer in use

Why do you think that? Or how do you come up with it.

In use since 2015 and no more name changes.

So you mean that the acc is no longer used because the owner hasn't changed his name since 2015?

No you can't. Even if the account has been inactive for 10 years. Forgiven is forgiven.

It would be unfair if you could just steal names like that.

If you are lucky he has a social media account on NameMC (https://de.namemc.com/), then you can write to him there and buy the account name from him - probably for a little change.

And what exactly tells you that this user is not just happy with the name?

Even if you can prove that he hasn't been on a server since 2015, you couldn't prove in any way that this player isn't single-player.

This person has paid for the account and thus determines its name.

If he is satisfied with the name, he will hardly change it again - or would you?

That says absolutely nothing. Maybe he's just very happy with the name and doesn't change it because of that.

Why should you do that? The name belongs to another user that is his

I haven't changed my account since 2010 and I haven't even changed my name.
