Flagged for rename during faction change?

Alright, so I transferred my draenei shaman to Moon Guard. After that, she was flagged for a rename (name was Yuula) but I wanted to do my faction change first. So I completed that, went into the faction change window, picked a troll and a name "Suijin". It said the name was not unavailable and I finished my faction change. So then I try to log into the game. It told me me "Suijin" was flagged for a name change, but I don't think it was, I think it was my other name (Yuula) that was. It asked me for a name change and so I picked "Suijen" but I would really like to have the name "Suijin" instead. :/

I'm not sure if "Suijin" is actually taken on Moon Guard, but I noticed that awhile after I logged in after being "Suijen" that sometimes my name would show up as "Suijin" in chat and when I pulled a mini pet out.

It appears that this issue has been resolved, actually. If you would like to try relogging your character, you should be able to select the new name at that time.

I actually got the same problem. I did a transfer plus a faction change without logging in between. So when I chose a new name after the faction change (Nunna), it said "your name has been flagged for rename."

Is there a GM that could help me too? I'd appreciate it :)


This character on Hellscream? I'm not seeing this one flagged. You cannot log into the character?
