I keep my pves to a limit of no more than 4, so this way.....whenever I get tired of a name that I made on a pvp chara, I can always delete>make a new name

But back to the OP, yeah, I have regretted on names, lots of times.

Considering it takes me more than 30 minutes to name a character, I'd say no. Same goes for campaigns.

Name... yeah, sort of, but not as much as hairstyles.

Oh my god. I hate my main's hairstyle so much, but I love playing her equally as much... Plus she's like two years old with a load of titles. I just RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing hope Anet are amazing and put in a barber. I would buy like 5 copies of GW2 if they did that. x_x

It annoys me that my characters are all different heights. I made my dervish too short and my ele too tall, because silly things like that bug me. I sometimes wish I didn't name my ranger "Orion Pax" because there are a gazillion other players with the name Orion-something. What I don't get is how people can actually misspell words in their characters names and not realize, or even worse, name their toons something as uninspired as "Balthazar Dervish", "Assa killer" or "Illlllll Illllllll Illlll".

I made a paragon with a funny name for the Nightfall preview/beta event thingy. I was going to delete her... But I didn't, I played on, and after a while I started regretting the name. I changed my mind again, though, I like it now. She bears it well, after all.

I regret most of my character names. =\ Campaigns, however, I don't.

Only one of my characters, called "Asura".

¬¬X... It was named right before Nightfall, before Eye of the North was even announced.

No to either. I always put way too much thought into my character names and generally they don't suck.

The campaigns are nice because you don't HAVE to finish them one at a time. When I got bored with Factions I jumped into Nightfall, then trotted back through Prophecies. I still haven't actually completed any of them, but I'm not bored.

They have homosexual relations with each other? Fascinating.

I've tried to get my account banned by having lots of people report me for Inappropriate Name, so that I could change it when I got back.

It was unsuccessful. At least ANet didn't ban the ~50 people that reported me.

Making a dervish with 'Scythe' in the name... Plus for extra lameness using 'z' as a plural... I felt so pre-teen and desperate... So after playing him through most campaigns and getting Vabbian and other elite armours, I bought an extra slot and remade him with a decent name. XD

I'm the same in both ways. I put a fair amount of thought into my characters' names (this is a great way to find names for characters) so that I won't get sick of them or dislike them. I mean, I'm a roleplayer. I'm used to the idea that a name will just 'click' with a character. I follow the same idea even in GW.

And I'm the same with the campaigns :P Haven't finished any of them yet, just having fun jumping back and forth between them all doing various things as the fancy strikes. It's fun, a lot more fun than simply running straight through everything.

My names, no.
Blooregarrd Q Kazoo
Billbo Tea Baggins
Lemon Scented
A Fat Beached Whale

I love my names.

Campaigns: Factions. I hate HATE this campaign. Every mission is just rush rush rush and the map layouts are just plain retarded. Only thing I liked about this campaign were the awesome pets. Everything else just blows fat beached whale junk.
