I submitted a name for a pirate and it was rejected. The name was Jacquotte Dalahaye. It is the name of a real life woman pirate that lived in the 17th Century. Maybe because the name was French, it was rejected but there was nothing vulgar about the name. But I was very disappointed to say the least because I created her with this name in mind, now I have to try for something different.

We tried again.... different spellings. =)

Hmm, Disney is indeed a weird one with the names my pirate is named Erich (My RL first name) Then Uchiha (Which is from an anime called Naruto that I use to watch) and your able to say Uchiha without it being italized

It's quite strange, because my name was approved on the first try (Dann-Jacques La Puette)....go figure....

OK, second time is a charm. They got approved. =)

just keep entering the name....thats what i did it took 3 or 4 trys, but eventually they approved it lol

I tried for "imma poor sailor" on test and have been waiting for 3 weeks and im still swashbuckler and i cant do anything about it.

Sarah got that one approved. Hmmmm.

The timing they accept names is odd too.

You'd think on the weekend it'd take days but for one of my guys, the first time I re-logged in it had been accepted. On Friday I made a new one and it took 48 hours.

I had not really noticed it before, but has any one seen how many Guilds have really bad words in it? I had to submit a few names 2-3 times that were not the least bit bad, but some how they let that by???? I can't believe with all the "family friendly" stuff they keep claiming, and a person getting a warning for singing "100 Bottles of Rum" that they let guilds have racist names.

Yes, I did, and it took all of an hour to go through. (as did Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Beth Killegrew, Loi Chai San and Jeanne de Clisson, all historical female pirates) Strange. I can't imagine a person sitting there approving names, I must have hit up the name filter at the right time. All I can say is try try again.

It took 8 tmes with Travis Black with no changes before it was approved so dont give up and you dont have to change the spelling everytime you submit it just keep trying!

Actually I have a Pirate with a copyrighted name. It just isn't copyrighted to anything Disney would care about. In another life I used to read romance novels a lot, and James Malory was the English Lord/ Pirate in one of the series. But what are the odds Disney cares? The author, she'd most likely be amused by that. But whatever. James Malory is most decidedly copyrighted. Anna, the second of my pirates, she's entirely my own creation. Linked to James only for the ease of my friends being able to find both my pirates by an unusual last name. Or at least unusual spelling.

I have a better question though. If we can type names of pirates, why can't we do names of ships? Where's the sense in this? I can't give James his real ship, so I have 4 Black Dragons. If Disney noticed anything or ever read books, this is a copyrighted name as well. Though for a guy, not a boat. The Black Dragon was the leading villain in the fourth generation of Tom Swift books. Interesting, yes?

Waiting for the day we get to name not just the pirate but the ship!

Okay so my post got edited and makes no sense now.... let me try to make it a little more clear: There are several guild names with the titles of racist organizations in them.

I could never believe how inconsistent Disney is with their name guidelines.
When I played toontown, I had a toon for TWO WHOLE YEARS. And one day I came on and they had taken the name away and I was called "toon"
Right away I resubmitted the exact same name and it was accepted 5 minutes later and good until I stopped playing.

So someone initially accepted it.
Two years later someone else decided that it wasn't good.
5 minutes later someone else decided that it was.

The pirate I have right now was just named using pick-a-name but hopefully the process of naming any future pirates won't be so frustrating! I don't have much hope... =P
