Name Change when Race Change

[Alhanelem]

Pick an intelligent name and you won't have to change it later. The only people who usually regret their names and want a change are those who made nonsense/funny names to begin with. I can see a (one time) race change being a possibility only because of the potential new race options in our future (e.g. female roe/highlander/male miqote)

Right, because Patricia is a good Male Miqo'te name.
I guess gender-neutral is the only intelligent way to go, amirite?

Well that's one of the reasons I picked Kai, its a unisex name and can be a boy or girl. I'll just have to stick with a kitty because of my last name hahaha!

Anyway you have men named Kelsey, Shannon, Terry, Andie, Charlie, Sam... I know guys and girls who have these names. Some more so would be girls but there are guys that have them too.

Because picking a female name for a male character makes a whole lotta sense. Hence "pick intelligent names."

There will very likely be ONE TIME race/name changes when new race options are added. Outside of that, people should but more thought into their characters, and I do not like name/race change options, as they can be abused.

Way to SO understand what I am reading. Try again. There's nothing to misunderstand.

You are essentially telling me that you want to be a Male Miqote, but your character name is "Patricia." Well, if you get to change your race when they come out, then you'd most likely be able to change your name too. My point is people should put thought into their names so as to not regret the name they chose later. Thus, I'm fine with making a one-time change available when a new race is added. But one time only, and only can change your name if you changed your race.

Name/race/appearance changes can be abused to mask your identity when you did something to piss someone off/get kicked out of an LS/whatever. E.g. incidents in FFXI of linkshell leaders "taking the bank and running." If they could change their name/race, they could easily escape the ire of the players that hated him for doing that. People who don't deserve second chances would get a second chance.
