Inappropriate name. "Grey".

Hi there,

I really hope someone can shed light on this.

I have had the name “Grey” for my main toon since launch. It’s an awesome name, and one that I stayed up hours for, during pre-launch, because I knew it would be popular.

I’m currently unable to log in to the game on this character and get the following error message:

‘Inappropriate name. “Grey” contains words or partial words that are not permitted. Please select a different name and try again. (Code=31:4:5:2643:101)’

I really don’t see how “Grey” is inappropriate in any way. Until this is resolved I can’t log on to my main character, as I don’t want to change the name and lose access to it later.

Any assistance on this would be much appreciated. [Incident: 130611-002058]?
