There's been some great discussions on this thread to resolve these issues and the information already in game that some apparently didn't know about but I for one and 100% against one name mmos. In fact every mmo I have played I have practically fangirled SE for the two name system. After trying out various mmos and even trying to keep my name in XI and XIV(from server merges in xi mostly) I hate with a passion making my character and then being stuck for over a hour trying every name I can and not getting a thing. Two names is wonderful, it's more realistic and allows me and other kyri's to have the name we love without being peeved every time we see a character running around with the gamertag you've been using for the last 7 yrs and your stuck with some horridly long awful name you hate. If your having dificulty with long names of someone you -sometimes- PM, befriend them. When I played and some ridiculously long named player poped up well, I just don't talk to them. It was their choice to pick a long name people would have difficulty remembering. I even changed my last name from Trismegistius to Sagitta to help friends remember me better. If I happened to find myself doing things on the side with someones name I had difficulty remembering, I befriended them, or added them to my notepad of the cool, the blocked and the OhmahGawdDontPTWithThemEver list.

Do you really want to spend two hours in character creation trying to google any partially okay name you can use only to find they too are taken? Half the time I give up and try Allnamestaken and cant even get that as a choice. One name mmos also cause more of those really hard to remember names, because the only name they could get required adding like 5 random letters to it to make it useable. All in all, thank you SE for allowing me to have two names to keep my name even if I transfer servers later on, and the ability to not be named Kyri.Sagitta kyrisagitta Kyyyriiiiieee, or Kyri-sagitta. <3
