Removal of Surnames

[Rhianu]

That's the thing though, without surnames, you'll have people with Rhianu4352 and people trying to spell it different ways. The point of surnames is to where you can have the same first name with spelling. I get the 'sounds better without' but I'm sure there is a name that would sound good... or you just picked a bad first name

Actually, the name "Rhianu" is hardly ever taken in any online game I play. So forcing me to use a surname to guarantee that I'll get a name that I would have most likely gotten anyway is simply irritating and unnecessary.

Of course I do recognize that some people might have a preferred name that is more common and more likely to be taken, and so surnames should be an option that those people can use if they discover their desired name is already taken, or if they simply want to have a name in two parts.

But forcing every single player in the entire game to have two names is ridiculous and unnecessary, and limits the creative freedom of each player to choose the name they really want.
