Emiko.3217 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Question - was trying to get a non-offensive name at character creation and it says "Name not available". Yet, when I check to see if the name is taken, a message states "Name not found." Any idea why I could not use the name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Not without knowing the name. The naming filter does include other things beyond offensive words though like NPC names, a prevention against a name looking like a GM and so forth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I'm pretty sure some names are against ToS, like the names of famous cartoon or tv characters. Don't quote me on that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neural.1824 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 There are also some names that are not available because they contain letter sequences that are not allowed because they form a given word on their own. While they may change the filters over time, the first time I ran across this was when trying to make a character with the first name "Jewel". Because the first three letters of the name are (or were at the time) not allowed, the full name was also not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
