→ The user "Hodja Nasreddin" has 29,226 contributions, renaming a user with more than 25,000 contributions could adversely affect site performance. ←
^ There seems to be a new "feature" that is actively preventing renaming users with over 25,000 edits. Otherwise I don't see a problem with your request to go back to your previous name (as long as you won't ask to be renamed again subsequently). I think you might ask at
m:SR/UC about this, I would gather stewards can bypass the restriction. –

Thank you. Let's not proceed with this request right now (I might ask about this at at
