There will be enough fuss over having to change your name due to a matching name.

I think it is important to consider this. I know some will have to change there name, which makes it seem like migration will be based on what server and what your creation date was. and a mismatched entry needs to re-enter to validate the name field.
All they have to do is setup a menu option like: Would you like to rename your character? [Yes]/[No]

As for server architecture blah blah, they already have it in place (or at least a similar system) due to char. name conflicts at the time of the server merge.
