Yea, that's exactly why. But what's wrong with using the server's name to make decision? It's the server we're gonna be playing on for years to come most likely. Shouldn't it be a name that we like? Shouldn't that be our decision, not SEs?

How do you think people would act if their character name was randomly chosen for them if someone already had theirs? I bet they'd be pretty pissed. It's the same thing to an extent.
