Names taken by unused characters.

[Noshpan]

it's actually more likely that this name is blocked, not taken.

I could not use the name "Alhanalem" because the name contains the sequence of characters 'anal' within it. The message for the name being taken is no different as far as I'm aware.

The name looks better with the "e" imo.

On topic: I honestly don't know if SE has a similar policy as some other games where the name you want to use could be freed up if the character with said name hasn't been logged on after a certain amount of time. I find that to be a perfectly reasonable policy.
