Currently it is required that you have at least two names, ie, you can't just have one word for your name.

Yes, as Kha said, you must have 2 names. I beleive the limit is 18 characters (can anyone back me up on that?).

Yes I can. It was discussed previously. Two names are required. You will have 18 characters and 1 space, for a total of 19.

Actually, you can have several spaces in your name- I don't know if there is a limit, but they do count against your total characters. I've seen some pretty rediculouls-looking names of people trying to get around the two-word requirement by having names like "B E R S E R K E R" or "T A N K". Most people actually like readability rather than garishness though, and go with something like "Mort the Wanderer" or "Freya Njordsdatter".

shoot... i didn't realise this! now I gotta think of a second name... i'll just incorporate it with my profession! that way i can have the same name for each char, but with a different ending.
