Hey, I recently wanted to make an Engineer and the name i wanted to use is Earfana. I’ve used Earfana in every other MMO that iv’e played but in GW2 it says its an inappropriate name…? Why? I put in a Support Ticket and thought i should just make a forum post as well. Not gonna make another ticket because that would be a waste of time. Any ideas, or should i just wait for my ticket to get answered?

Understandable, but in another thread someone had made a thread about why the name Gray was blocked, and she got it unblocked or poked some GM or something to do it…

It doesn’t matter now though, I used the name Owlchaser instead which I like quite well. >.>

Actually, I like that name better, too!

Every now and then a name is quite mysteriously blocked and we honestly cannot tell why. Sometimes, later, it becomes available but we don’t have a way right now to force the availability of a name.

Thanks a lot for your understanding!
