I can't believe no one has linked Disneys avatar naming guidelines:

Avatar Naming Guidelines:
- No foul language
- No inappropriate mixed case. For example: Neither JoePirate nor joEpiRAte. Joe McPirate is ok.
- No Disney characters or other cartoon characters
- No exact characters from the Pirates movies and no mixing of exact character names. For example: Elizabeth Turner, William Sparrow
- No sentences
- Names must be at least three letters
- No names that imply that you're a Disney employee
- No names with titles already in them. For example: Captain Anne, Mr. Smith
- No copyrighted names
- No non-English words
- No religious names
- No references to anything illegal
- Apostrophes, Periods and Dashes are the only punctuation/symbols allowed, but must be separated by a letter.
- No personally identifiable information. For example, you can't use your own name
Aside from maybe the last one, I dont see anything in there that would exclude any the examples given. In my opinion a real first name by itself, whether or not it's actually a players real first name, is far from personally identifiable information.
