You will not be banned for that name. You will however receive a suspension of X with the requirement of changing the name after.

As others have said. If you have to ask, then the answer is yes.

I'd report you. Not because I'm easily offended, but I can't stand people who are trying to circumvent the system using such obvious tricks.

I fully agree with your second sentence, but I wouldn't report. I'd just grit my teeth, move on, and try to forget it.

The problem is that such infantile names eventually result in annoying infantile behavior when a person gets suspended. Like a five-year-old playing innocent while telling his mom "No, *I* didn't break the lamp" while thinking "it was the BALL I threw that broke the lamp", then feeling wounded when his mom holds him responsible anyway. The suspendee ends up whining "but I didn't SAY <badword>" while thinking "I just wanted people to read it that way". Then they cry that ANet is being unfair by holding them responsible for their obvious intent instead of being in awe of their great cleverness in skirting the rules.

I'd rather see those people cry on a forum so they get banned there too, than them feeling all superior for cheating the rules.

That behavior shouldn't be supported in any kind.

I recommend using straight and easy character names that cannot be misinterpreted. Why someone seeks for names that can be interpreted in different, probably inappropriate ways for an RPG I don't understand. Only to see how far someone can go with bending the rules? That's boring. And you are left with an ugly name you cannot identify yourself with.

I would be embarrassed if it turns out that I chose a character name that is a swear word in other popular languages and would think about deleting that character or buying a name change.

Tbh, just about every name has a meaning in some other language.

My main character for nearly EVER has been Jarek, I thought it up one day, I liked the ring, and went with it, turns out it means tree, or wood or something a long those lines in Polish, I never would have guessed. Then I made a Knight called Yahway in WAR, turns out I was insulting Jews, because I had written the name of their god in actual letters, rather doing the whole Harry Potter "he who shall not be named" thing, amusing thing being, I had no idea it had any correlation to the Jewish religion at all.
