I doubt there are many people who use something like "Punk Azz Monk" as their name on a daily basis.

In PVE I'll give my characters proper names. In PVP anything goes! We have 3 Paragons with the following names that we run with the odd random Monk in AB:

I J I M M Y I

I S U P E R F L Y I

I S N U K A I

XZ Hyde ZX

The whole name thing with A Net has been odd for a while now. It appears to me that more English speaking names get banned than other language names.

I've seen so very bad stuff in some of the Italian French German and Russian channels.

Then again if you translate some of the skill names into French or Italian you end up with another closed thread.

What I really don't get is why name Boobies is forbidden. We allow Hawk, and Raven. They are such cool birds too.

Maybe OMFG imma monk? or Alfa Q Up? anyhow having to play on a friends old acccount for next 3 days so he will get all my factions

If people would grow up and actually take some time to think up a proper name instead of one that's funny for five minutes but has them posting up threads after three months telling ANet to include post-creation name changes, it wouldn't even be a problem.

I don't see how names like I Poked Jora can be witty for anymore than one or two quick glances over it.

The world is also filled with insensitive morons who have nothing better to do then try and get around the rules/filters and offend people.
