    Character naming filter

    There should be made improvements to the character naming filter. I just tried to change my characters name to Lumiere, which I couldn't because of the naming profanity filter.
    I am sure there are other examples of non unappropriate names being unable to be used as character name because of this filter.

    So I suggest this should be updated. Especially cause this issue is easily overcome by simply adding an apostrophe at the end for example, which seems unreasonable.

    Are you sure it's actually the profanity filter though and not actually just that the name is already in use by someone else? Given that there are now over 9 million players in the game it's sadly more common now for names that you may consider unique to actually be not and that someone has unfortunately already taken it.

    I'm sure. I searched all characters on the FFXIV Lodestone before i bought the renaming service and the GM also confirmed it when I sent in a support ticket.

    Disney character: Beauty and the Beast. No one wants to go to war with big Disney. Nor do they wanna lose the rights to produce Kingdom hearts.
