    I'm guessing it's exactly like GW1. I think it's mostly due to people wanting the "same name" but they are able to make up a prefix or last name to go with it.

    Wrong-O. Any name is viable so long as its more than 3 characters and less than 19. Letters only and spaces count as characters.

    Soooo, no numbers or other characters?

    You are not allowed to use any special characters (the out of bound asci from alt codes) and no numbers. You may have a 2 part name, or a singular name.
    The most important thing to realize is, no matter what you experience you are never alone; no matter what you are struggling through, there is always someone who is more unfortunate.

    No numbers is good. Seriously, narutoxXx is annoying enough, 666naruto1337 is even worse

    As mentioned above, currently the only limits to character naming are as follows:
    * Maximum 19 characters.
    * Minimum 3 characters.
    * Can only use English letters.

    So you can have a 3 part name, even a 4 part name if you stay within the character limit.
    And yes, spaces count as characters. Freakin' sweet

    I will use the 2-word names as first name and last name. Cool first name and a lore last name. Like a Charr named "Brom Pyrohorn".

    I doubt that. If I had to guess I'd say "no."

    Not on english servers, the non-english restrictions are currently unknown though I would expect those to be viable there.

    Are you in a region that uses those characters as part of their language?

    lol why make it a mod when you can simply do as Arena.net is doing and make it an option?

    Isn't the f in f2p mean free? : )

    Anyhow, I prefer one word names, but I enjoyed my two word names in Camelot... Tyle Anol, Fungalin Fection... And in City of Heroes... Nucleus Knight, Lock n Load, Crash n Burn... Good times ; )

    Yes... I like alliteration...
