    Better not have arab name if you are sensitive to teasing. Western people are like they are and your black list would be long during time. Generally if you have good name, people envy and start harassing. I experienced that with name Tar Zan for example. I'm using also name Salama, some could think I'm arab, some that I'm jewish. But Salama means lightning in my language. After teasing I have changed server and started from beginning with new name. Done it already 7 times. Eorzea is so small that you will meet the teaser often anyway. Don't think politics or religion or races in game, just enjoy.

    You have just terrible experiences with people. Some people, like on my server, who have all different kinds of backgrounds, don't do such things. People should be able to have any name they want (within reason) and not deal with harassment. If someone makes up a name that is intended to be a point of conversation, that's fine. But just because someone's name is regional doesn't mean they should be the center of that kind of treatment.

    You won't be teased again unless you're in a bad pick up party. And yes, those people are deserving of /blacklist. Your blacklist can't be too long. That's silly.
