It drives me nuts how many people think that by throwing out mangled sets of characters they are being "exotic" with the names. No. You're really not. You're just making your name really hard to spell.
Which reminds me of an incident that happened to me a while back. I had created a bazaar mule just to sell off a few things. Disgusted after having a dozen names rejected, I typed out Bobobbobobbobobbobo, and it took.
All went well since I didn't use the character to communicate at all. All the items sold quickly except for one (I don't recall what it was), which I then auctioned very cheaply to the first tell.
Not surprisingly I didn't get any tells for the first few mintues - I had completely forgotten the name I was using. But when I finally did, and sold the item to the respondent, he then told me that I was a sadistic ******* for making him type out that horrible name. I apologized profusely.
