A quick question about renaming accounts

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

So I've an account that has been a great name for Thalia for where she is in canon. Recently a friend happened to mention something that clicked in my head for a new LJ name for her when goes through some canon and I've already made a new journal for that name. I haven't posted anything yet with the new journal.

I was wondering though, do I need to leave the new journal alone and not make any posts before I do the name change? I ask as there are a few things I'd like to try with her in Mixed_muses but if that will mess up the renaming I won't. I don't see anything on the FAQ about this.

Oh and when I do this, do I need to wait for the begining of the month when Apps are open to make it easier for maintainance purposes or does that matter?

Thanks.

...Um. Do you mean you're renaming your current account, or switching to the new one? Because you can't rename something to that of an account that already exists, and I think it takes at least 30 days for a deleted account's name to become available again for renaming.
