Do you regret your name choice?

[Souljacker]

I'm good with my names, but there are other aspects of my characters I would like to change. When I restarted after ARR, I didn't realize that choosing a different class was going to dump me into an entirely different city-state. I started my character in Limsa in 1.0. I just reactivated that character when ARR hit, and was given a choice of "Starting class" which most of them were already somewhat leveled, and instead of marauder since I had already done that one, I picked Dragoon.

Is it a huge deal now? No, but I still cringe every time I open my character sheet and see Gridania instead Limsa. I chose a female roe for a reason, and it wasn't to dance among the flowers and trees. I wish they would let us change that. At this point there's too much work in my main to roll another char, but I'd gladly part with a few dollars for my own personal lore.

I didn't know my ex-wife played MMOs.

...I wish I could give like 500 likes to this one. LMFAO!
I laughed waaaaay harder than I should of.

And nope! Love mine very much. It comes from a game series.
[Not this character.]

[Hivernica]

I regret my name a bit. What it means is so...dumb. To those who know its meaning, it seems like I'm a 13YO girl. I'm 18 and male. I've grown used to being called Aku (I had the same name in TERA) but if I could I'd change the last name to something else.

[Alteiriaa]

Nah, I like my name, which I figure isn't half bad when I split up my general username and just flipflopped the end to the front.
Sure, sometimes I wish Riaa was more lore friendly but I don't really know if she's that far off from proper moon-cat. I don't plan on changing race either.

Besides, rolling out more alts is fun, they can be lore friendly even if Riaa isn't!
no but seriously I have a alt problem send help.

I don't regret my name too much. It has a couple references I like, one is me just being a huge Norse mythology nerd(Rymr) and the other is a throwback to my roleplaying days(Dragomir), I also use "Rymr" for pretty much every main character of mine for about 3 years now. I do regret that very few people can spell it properly and seem to think I mind being called "Ry"(I don't).

[Niamh_Rillemaugh]

Nope.

Sorry that people took the fun out of your name though. You really should report them if it makes you uncomfortable though.

[RedAntares]

I like my name but I would love to have an option to change it at some point, since I would love to try changing my character to a male Lala, maybe I will go with female.

[Ashkendor]

Nah. My name isn't lore-friendly, but it's a name I've been using online for several years now (I've been through several of them; most of them are female as I'm a girl irl, but my last game had a gender lock and that kind of broke me as far as playing female characters goes). I mean, my character is a Miqo'te away from his tribe living the life of an adventurer. I'm sure there's a lore-friendly reason that he has a non-Miqo'te name.

[Niwashi]

But now I changed my Race cause like 80% of the players I see are kitty people and Roe are AWESOME!! Also, I found that our server is kinda full oh ass holes so now I want to go to a RP server. And on top of that ... I want this character to be named Bayonetta Beretta if the gun class isn't DPS :/

Well, if you're thinking of transferring servers anyway, then the workaround of forcing a name change by creating a name conflict on your destination server doesn't have the drawbacks for you that it does for those wanting to stay on their current server. Just before putting in for the server transfer, create an alt on the new server you plan to move to and name that alt Marcella Cat. After that, when you move your main character there, she can't have the same name, so you'll be prompted to change it.

I think to do it yourself might require having a standard subscription (the type that allows you to have multiple alts on the same server). If you have a basic subscription, then you might not be able to transfer to a server where you already have an alt. So if that's the case, just let us know where you want to transfer to and one of us could create that alt for you.

[Teirshin]

Regret the name? Nope, not at all.

Hate the fact I cant use special characters to emphasize how its actually pronounced thanks to SE using an archaic typeset? Very.

Covârleasa - Sounds like: COE-vair-LAY-suh, and NOT... COE-var-LAY-suh.

But nope, couldnt use the â in game so...... Just call me "Cova"....

GW2 lets you use special characters just fine, but not SE, nope, nosiree.... bleh.
