First and most importantly, '''if the [[Guides]] (Romeo or Juliet) or a [[Divine]] ask you to change your name, change it!''' We don't want to waste time explaining why "Awesomesauce" <!-- This was an actual graduate from the Trial! --> is an unacceptable name, especially when it's obviously detrimental to our roleplaying environment. No matter how hard you try to convince us, no Earthly or Achaean parents would name their child Awesomesauce. The best name is an original one that you created, and not a dictionary word. It should be reasonably pronounceable without seriously injuring one's vocal organs. | ||
Dictionary words or names from real life are usually okay, though often they fall short of the "acceptable" mark. These names can be improved upon, but are not forbidden. Do use common sense, however: Winner is probably not acceptable, nor is Michelangelo. Unacceptable names require a change, normally requested by one of the Newbie Guides; should you not comply with the request your character may face administrative action. Unacceptable names may also include profanity, racial slurs, stuttering letters(bobbbbbb), keyboard jokes(asdf), and those most likely unpronounceable(klzgt). | Dictionary words or names from real life are usually okay, though often they fall short of the "acceptable" mark.
