Lets look at the situation from another point of view:
regardless of their intention to take the name afterward, the old name becomes available to everyone.
In a hypothetical scenario, if someone offered me 100m gp to alter my name merely because they disliked it, or found it offensive, would that constitute real-world trade? Not at all.
However, if they offered me real-world currency, say £100, to change my name based on their preference, that would indeed be classified as real-world trade because actual currency has exchanged hands.
So with that said, the scenario you explained is classed as a trust trade which is not against the rules. If you wish to accept the trade, that is your own responsibility and you should exercise caution as there is no "safe" way to complete this trade.

It's worth mentioning, that while this kind of trade isn't directly mentioned within the rules, there is a distinct similarity between trading your name and gold swapping between servers, which IS listed in the Rules
What everyone else failed to mention though, is that there is a rule pertaining to this.
Drum roll please!
So yea, do your due diligence.. It's highly likely that this person is trying to scam or trick you, since the name "H O N D A" isn't typically classed as a "rare name."
Hope my ramblings helped you in some way!
what's hilarious is that I had the name Honda before and then I changed it to H O N D A cuz I thought it looked better
Lets look at the situation from another point of view:
- The name and in-game currency both exist within the game.
- Someone is proposing in-game currency in exchange for you changing your name

You have to take into consideration what a 'judge in court' thinks it has meant to be, said paragraph in the Rules of RuneScape.
no we dont, they arent involved here. what we go by is what jagex say.
account name for gp. not encouraged but not against the rules
acount name for real money is RWT.
if jagex say its okay but its okay but a trust trade then there we go. thats what it is, jagex set the rules. not a judge lol
that is true!
