I wanted to switch my names on my accounts. Am I not able to do that or is there a certain time I have to wait until my name becomes available again?

if you do it in game your name becomes available right away
if you do it through the website i think you get ~ 1 month hold on your previous ign

If your name is Mike123 and you change it to Mike, the name Mike123 will still be active on your recently changed so it will not be available.
If you change your name from Mike123 to Mike then to Mike666, now Mike123 will be available and Mike will be your recently changed and will not be available for someone else for quite a while.

You can change your name once after every purchase of a membership or once every month after a name change (provided your membership is still active). People usually use multiple bonds back to back to change names rapidly.

Hope this kinda simplifies it.

Refer to my last post. It's likely taken by you and will be for the next month or so provided you don't change it again.
