Technically you are looking at a first and last name, Jerry, so you may want to avoid such a name. It is very likely it would be changed.

Oh so if the name goes against the role playing rules, you will be asked to change it, instead of that character being banned?


Correct, if a name is reported to us and found to be in violation of our policies we would either flag it for a rename or assign it a randomly generated name. We would not ban or delete the character in question.

If you have a name that you believe may be in violation of our policies feel free to report it yourself, we are more lenient towards self reports.
