    Can not register with the name "Kagaya"

    It seems that no matter what last name I use I can not create a character with the first name "Kagaya", I get an error 1003 character name cannot be used. I spent an hour on long distance with tech support who see no reason why I can not use that name and was told to contact a GM for help. I contacted a GM who passed the buck to the Bug report. After digging in loadstone an trying anything I can to get a first name of Kagaya I believe it is due to very bad name filtering in the registration process. I have noticed that you can register "Kaga" but not "Kagay" and doing a search for "gay" pulls up no names with that 3 letter sequence. I believe the name is being blocked for having "gay" in it. While I can understand the need to filter out potently offensive name there is no reason for this name to be blocked or other harmless names due to a very poor algorithm for checking word sequences. I have seen much much more offensive names then "Kagaya" (which is not even offensive!). I am begging you improve your algorithm and let me register with my name.

    Steps:
    1. Create new character with any configuration
    2. Chose any world
    3. Use a first name of "Kagaya" and any last name you want

    I'm going to have a wild stab in the dark here and suggest maybe it's a name filter kicking in, reading the word 'gay' in the name and hence preventing it from being registered, due to SE deciding the modern meaning of the word could lead to player harassment. In which case there isn't much you can do except choose another name.

    Another version is Kaguya if that works for you.
    Because Kaguya is known as the Princess of the Moon in the Bamboo Cutter story :3

    Don't mind me, I'm just posting my opinions on the internet and watching how people react to them.

    Kagaya is a related to KAGAYA Studio Inc. >>> http://www.kagayastudio.com

    I would not be surprised that name got used (read abused) in the past and ended on the filter.

    The name Kagaya Hime is actually one of the main character from the book Fudoki. Testing shows it is banded for having the word "gay" in it.
