True. But this guy isn't supposed to be fancy, he's a Trooper.

I also don't really want to stick an apostrophe or dash in his name; I've tried to see how it looks in different ways and it just seems weird that way, plus if I ever roleplay with him, everyone will write it with the apostrophe. I really kind of want to stick in an accent over one of the vowels (particularly an é) but I'm not sure how distasteful or irritating this would be to the community. Do you think it would be all right, or should I just suck it up and go for the apostrophe?

(PS, besides this issue, I'm immensely relieved and overjoyed to have had the privilege to transfer servers. Even losing the name was worth it.)
You'll find some people that get up in arms over it, but I'd say they're in the minority. In terms of inviting you to a group, all they have to do is right click your name or portrait, so it's not a big deal to work around.

Thanks for the help. I went ahead and gave him the accent. I hope it doesn't annoy people too much.

coming up with original names isn't that hard I'm sure you can manage

I lost 3 names yesterday, and i'm kinda bummed about it since they all were names i have been using for ages. Though obviously not original enough since they were all taken.

But oh well, life goes on. Just have to get attached to the new identities for my chars, shouldn't take that long really since i'm quite happy with all the replacement names i came up with

I lost Sgt. Smash. /Mourn

He was a novelty character though, so eh, no big loss. Everyone else went off without a hitch... which kinda surprised me given how long Ebon Hawk's been around.

Oh, I did. Apparently people came up with the same original names.

But, since you aren't providing any proof, I'm just going to have to assume yours aren't original and you got lucky.
