Well, that's the rub, isn't it? They don't ever say
why a name is rejected.
Sorry, your pirate name was rejected because (check one):
- Not funny enough
- Too ordinary
- Is too close to an existing NPC name
- Is too similar to a widely-know trademark or copywright-protected chatacter name
- Is a company name, trademark or brand name
- Is too violent
- Is too obscene for young audience that would encounter it
- Has too strong of a religious connotation
- Is too modern - try a 16th century spelling
- Has an honorific (Sir, The, King, Queen...)
- Has a title (Admiral, Commodore, Captain, Boatswain...)
- Contains numbers ("the Second" is ok but "II" is not.)
- Contains foul language
- Has inappropriate mixed case
- Name might be mistaken for an employee name
- A phrase or a sentence is not a name
- Name references an illegal activity
- Not English (sorry, no Spanish in this context.)
- Seems to contain personal information
I mean, it can't be so hard for them to generate SOME response. I gleaned the list above from
them so it can't be difficult - they already have it.
