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.

One final note: You may observe other adventurers with names that are not considered acceptable, and while that is quite unfortunate, that cannot normally be rectified except in special cases. These adventurers have likely been around for a long time (perhaps since before namechanging began regularly), or they managed to slip through the cracks, but you cannot use them as an excuse for your own unacceptable name ("Dragonknight has a compound name, why can't I keep Pastasauce?").

It is interesting to note that, around the year 490 AF, a servant to the Divine called the [[Namer]] announced to the realm that he changed the name of a non-newbie adventurer, proving that just because you're older doesn't mean your bad name won't be changed. | ||
