Ask the sysadmin to update Active Directory, LDAP, NIS, or whatever.

I certainly don't expect regular users to know about chfn. For that matter, I 
don't expect sysadmins to know it either. I would expect regular users to ask a 
sysadmin, and I would expect the sysadmin to use "sudo vi" most likely.

How often does somebody change their name? Basically when they get married...  
Approximiately 0.5 times in a lifetime.

I don't know. I'm putting this one deep, deep into "esoteric" land.
