Naming Policy
Revision as of 05:22, 9 February 2007 by DaveGarber1975 (talk | contribs) (finally completed this page)
Our current rules on acceptable names are as follows:
- It shouldn't be political or religious, like BillClinton or ThePope.
- It shouldn't reference drugs, alcohol, disease or illness.
- It may not be vulgar or sexually explicit in any way.
- It may not have a prefix of "Angel", as we have Angels on the staff.
- It may not have Roman numerals at the end, such as ArkinIV and SueII, because our staff uses this system for alternate Immortal characters.
- It may not have more than 4 first letters in common with an Immortal name. For instance, Mendus is acceptable, whereas Mendes is not. If you are not familiar with our staff, and accidentally choose a name that is unacceptable this way, you will be asked to choose a new one.
If you want to be in-theme (optional):
- It shouldn't be anything modern, like Motorcycle or Telephone.
- It shouldn't be related to movies/TV, like LukeSkywalker or ClarkKent.
- It shouldn't be celebrity names, like MelGibson or CindyCrawford.
- It shouldn't be full names, like JohnSmith or MaryJones.
- It shouldn't include initials, like BobG or TSmith.
- It shouldn't be related to modern music, like Hanson or MotleyCrue.
- It shouldn't contain surnames like MrBrown, LordJerry or SirRobin.
- It shouldn't be overly frivolous, like GooglyEyes or Pookiebear.
- It shouldn't include articles, like BiffTheButcher or TheMaster.
The staff may ask someone to change their name at any time, even if it has existed for a significant length of time. Our name policy is pretty fair and the few things we do not permit will be enforced strictly.
