[ H-Elf

[ Human
] Khazar the Sage
[ Avian
] Jezzebella the Mistress of Kotegaeshi
[ Human
] Alchemia the Robber

google reinhardt. if you havent heard that name you live in a cave. khazar = black and white. Niub = nub, alchemia = alchemy. then there's jezzebella ive even seen a level 28 or so named carrie. Ive had to change my name before for something similar. is it that difficult to take them aside, explain the name convetions, and help them change their name?

how much do you want them to nitpick? if immortals are going to nitpick everything, they should nitpick your description too. I think the general requirement is that the name falls under a fantasy theme. Unless it's something mainstream and absolutely recognized (IE: Frodo, Sirius, etc.. etc..) I don't think immortals will be bothering them. I guess if you want to apply for imm, you could pull them aside and do what you propose.
