Not an issue that breaks the game for me, but it *is* a mild irritant:
I'm sure this has been suggested hundreds of thousands of times already, but let me throw my voice into the noise. Unless you believe you're forcing us to be creative, I see no reason against imposing a time limit on the inactivity of a character ... say 4-5 years ... before their character name is released for reuse. Perhaps you could assign a generic name, such as CaldariCitizen1234567, which has precedent for offensively named characters, in the event that the account holder actually returns after such a long hiatus. There are too many funny names that have been gobbled up by the one- or two-time loggers (or CCP employees who fancy themselves vigilante defenders of character name creativity)
Thank you

I'd only be in favour of deleting character names for pilots who:
a) have not logged in for a long time - 5 years or more. and b) did not make a subscription or play beyond their two-week trial.
There's not a huge issue of unavailable names apart from the inevitable l33tspeak alternatives that people who really wanted a particular name have used instead.

I support this (any character that has not been logged into for over three years), along with a character renaming program (that tracks previous character names easily, for all to see, and keeps assorted standings and mails, etc). Do it all at once, and open another level of EvE personalization.
Of course, I wouldn't need to use it on this character. But it would be a great way for me to gift over my ex-wife's toon to my new gf ...

Support the trial-acc part, unpaid trial accounts characters must be removed after a certain period of inactivity.

yes this would free up a lot of unique names I believe.
