Hello,

Can you have an in game character name the same as your SWTOR account name?

Thanks

Yes, one character can have the same name as your account.

One character per server.

You can, though you might find that the name you want is "unavailable", especially one like "Ranebow", which is a pretty obvious variant of "rainbow"....

You might have better luck getting it as a Legacy name. Or, since you can now have a space in your name, you could just use it as a "last" name, and name your characters something like "Joe Ranebow", "Jane Ranebow", and so on.

Yes.

Assuming that no one else has already taken it on that server, then as the others have said, you can name a character the same as your forum name.

And also, using it as a legacy name is another option, or just using it as a "last name" for characters is yet another.

The problem with "last names", though, is that in chat they show up as "Duke ranebow", not "Duke Ranebow".

Might not be a big deal to some people, but I just don't like how that looks.

One character per server.

Thanks for the correction! I play one server, so I often forget this

Legacy names aren't unique, and haven't been unique for a very long time. (2013, I think, they removed the uniqueness constraint on legacy names.)
