    Really, is it hard to think of an original name instead of a name of a character from <insert favourite anime/game/TV show/movie/novel/comic here> that is the current flavour of the month just to look hip? Incidentally, it's actually against the terms of service you agreed to when you first created your account with SE to use a character name that is actually copyrighted to another company (meaning you're actually not allowed to use names of other characters from other TV shows, games, films, anime, cartoons, comics etc), although I have never heard of someone getting their account suspended because of it, it's still there in the ToS).

    I also understand that there is actually a default block on using certain names, particularly certain popular FF characters like Cloud and Sephiroth, but that doesn't stop people 'creatively' thinking ways to get around that.

    So really, this is a non-issue. If you're that hard up for choosing a name, there is actually a random premade name generator built into character creation that you can use to choose a clan-accurate name for your character.

    Also, I have several level 1 characters who I hardly play as, but they are still my characters, one is a Legacy character from 1.0 complete with Onion Helm, Hermes Shoes and 'Mark of the Twelve' on her back, so it would be extremely unfair to players to have such characters deleted simply 'to free up character names'.
