Intend to change name (4)
I believe the answer is:
mean
'intend' is the definition.
(I know that intend can be written as mean)
'change name' is the wordplay.
'change' is an anagram indicator.
'name' is an anagram of 'MEAN'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for mean that I've seen before include "Stand for - penny-pinching" , "middle course" , "Common" , "mercenary" , "Skilful" .)
