    I played GW2 at the Eurogamer Expo this year and the character I made used one word, so I can confirm that yes, you can have one word names.

    However my actual character will be called Snowy Winterfall.

    A misnomer of language. Technically GW2 is B2P. You still have to buy a copy of the game in order to play it, even though there is no sub-fee. There are truly F2P games out there, DCUO will have a version come later this month.

    "Joe the barber" actually fits, sillyness aside I'm glad we'll be able to put spaces in our character names, and am happy there will be no numbers.

    Suppose I'll call dibs on a Human Guardian: "Henry VIII".
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    You mean "Kalla" like the lore hero "Kalla"?

    Don't really see why it matters. I don't know about that lore character but for all I know, the parents could have named the child after her?

    Won't be any different than Twilightjacob. All it does is make the bad names look neater, which is absolutely no reason to remove the ability of having names with two or more words.

    I say you can have the first name or last name, but people seem to look down on people who take lore hero names as their own, I suppose.

    I made Grimora about 10 years ago while drawing, of course she wasn't a charr at the time, just your average random character. But I used her again in WoW, and again in D&D, and again in GW1. So yeah, I was glad to finally be able to use her again.

    Originality is a rule for me personally.

    My warband so far:

    Grimora Ironblood - female Charr Engineer
    Ghinzo Ironjaw - male Charr Warrior
    Dulce Ironclaw - male Charr Thief
    Calaban Ironclad - male Charr Guardian
    Sapphire Ironhorn - female Charr Elementalist
    Achatus Irongrip - male Charr Necromancer
    ??? - ??? Charr ???

    You can be Kalla XXX, just don't copy her full name, because I'm not sure on how ArenaNet feels with people copying their lore character's names. I'd figure just to give you a heads up. You can use Kalla, or Fierceshot, or w/e, just only use half of their name so you don't get in trouble when it comes out.
