I don't think the name is much of an issue with anyone. If we were to merge into someone else's FC, access to airships, gardens, banks, buffs & decorating would be the biggest concern. We let everyone do it all over here and I think if I was going to pitch a merge to them and it involved losing access or having to get permission to do stuff it would be a deal breaker. We have no rules with the exception of you'll get the boot if you cause drama or are a jerk and can't get along with people. We don't even have a FC "Master", lol. (The title is held by an alt)

That's where the whole LS/shared website could come into play. If the two sides didn't want to give up their way of life or things they built, we could tie the knot, but "sleep in separate beds". . That would probably be a safe way to start a move like this anyway I guess. Find out if it's a good fit first & then iron out the real details later after everyone knows each other and is comfortable with what's going on?
