Bidermaier Viziam Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2014.01.04 17:43:00 - [1] - Quote Yes. I know... deal with it. this is eve blah blah. When I created the character I didnt think much about it. The first time i joined a english speaking corp i noticed they had problems pronuncing it or finding a short. It sucks because i am already over 40m sp and I am considering to retire my main to soloing because of his name. Sorry if it sounds like a first world problem but i is trully annoying. I dont mind my name as a family name but I really need a first name easy to pronounce.

Same as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biedermeier I can't do phonetics, but try "bee der meyer" in English. If you know German (Or any North Germanic language), Biedermeier will be an easy pronounciation.
Paranoid Loyd University of Caille Gallente Federation 224	Posted - 2014.01.04 17:49:00 - [6] - Quote Your name is fine, B, Biddy, Bidmeister, B-dog, BitterVet (in a few years) there are plenty of nicknames to call you. Being able to change your name would be detrimental to intelligence.
Johnson 1044 Johnson Organic Produce 63	Posted - 2014.01.04 17:51:00 - [7] - Quote I've always thought CCP missed out on a big revenue opportunity here. 1. Let characters change their name for 1 plex. 2. Only allow name changes once per year. 3. Keep a name history for each character so that name changes can't be used to hide previous criminal or scamming activity.

The reasons are a bit too obscure to be post here. At the time it seemed a good idea. Thanks for "bee der". That is like most of my spanish friends call me. Ill include it in my info page. It is kinda silly but I wanted to express my frustration. I dont think Bidermaier is bad as a family name but I feel my character lacks a proper first name. As sad as it sounds I would happily pay not even Plex but real life money to have a first name added, even a random one, even Gaylord Bidermaier would make me happy.
Dr0000 Maulerant Union Nanide and Tooling 130	Posted - 2014.01.04 18:32:00 - [9] - Quote I can sympathize with Jeff here, but I think CCP is afraid to complete the ISK for SP circle that character bazaar would become. If you could change names I'd have a better name, a dozen archon pilots, and an even more embarrassing lossboard. Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.-á

You could try a petition, it'll probably be turned down but if you get one of the GM's who doesn't feast on the flesh and souls of children they might help you out. Maybe even one of the GM's who has already eaten a plump, innocent child and sated their lust for misery.

If you haven't already established a reputation with that name it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Of course if you really despise your name, you could buy a new character and safe some of the trouble of raising up a new alt.

All they'll do is, if you're really young character, change some basic capitalisation but that's it. Apart from obviously having a name that breaks the EULA.

You could always contact active nameholders or ask around for good ones, as character sales are permitted. The ultimate names like Eve are probably worth thousands of RL cash if they are player reserved.

Most folk get around it by calling me Jo, Uncle Jo or Stalin. Best is when folk tell me that my name is that of a of a mass murderer. Wiki is a mind expanding internet thingy. This always makes me smile, so I tell folk I chose the name randomly. Usually sets their mind at ease. This is not a signature.

But James if you were to change your name how would I keep track of your goon guff on the forums? I am far too lazy (nor should I have to) to check someones history in case they may be someone with a new name worth following, or avoiding. Folk should live with their name, biomass or buy a new character with a name they like. This is not a signature.

Violations part a. :Only character names that are deemed as inappropriate are eligible for a possible name change. Names will not be changed for any other reason. As there is not much chance you can ever convince a GM that your name is inappropriate, I can only advice you to not even try. Besides that, Notting wrong with your name. I know plenty of people that have utterly unpronounceable names in any language. Most of them on purpose...

Logical 101 Agony Unleashed Agony Empire 196	Posted - 2014.01.05 21:47:00 - [65] - Quote I always liked the fact that you couldn't change your name. When you're stuck with everyone knowing who you are, how you conduct yourself becomes marginally more relevant, assuming you don't buy and sell your toons yearly. I wonder if name changes were ever instituted as a paid option, it would be like Steam where you can see all the names any given character has had.
Demica Diaz SE-1 119	Posted - 2014.01.06 00:16:00 - [66] - Quote Perhaps adding your characters full name to BIO would make you happier? Like Jeff "Bidermaier" Bosch. Either way, EVE no name change policy is great and it adds a lot to gameplay. Or you can PLEX train alt. Have your Bidermaier "support" new characters training ISK wise and switch mains.
Ai Shun 1112	Posted - 2014.02.25 01:33:00 - [67] - Quote Jeff has certainly made a name for himself. I can see why he wants to change his name though. It's way too close to Bielieber for comfort.

Khergit Deserters Crom's Angels 2811	Posted - 2014.02.25 15:00:00 - [70] - Quote It's a perfectly good name. People on comms who can't figure out how to pronounce need to work on their literacy/phonics skills. I'll bet they mispronounce Ryddinjorn, Niyabainen, and Tendhyes too. (Well, actually we all do that). Edit: I don't think a petition to change a name will work, unless they've changed the policy. The consensus on forums has always been that CCP doesn't allow name changes, so that people can't avoid bad reputations they've built up. But that's forum talk, could be wrong.

Oh get off it and get over yourself. Eve is a stupid video game, not a Mensa entrance exam. People who are "good at Eve" aren't superior intellects, better lovers, or internet visionaries. From what I've seen on these forums most aren't even capable of constructing a coherent thought in English with proper spelling and punctuation (excluding those for whom English isn't their native language). It's time for you arrogant bittervets to get over the spreadsheets in space mentality and realize that this is a game played (in theory) for entertainment and not some Darwinian device to separate the superior from the inferior. Holy hell I can't stand Eve players sometimes. To the OP's point, I'm afraid you're stuck with the name you chose. Why CCP is so opposed to making it possible to change a character name for a fee (with a database cross-reference to the original when searched) is beyond me. Either it's technically not possible with the byzantine game code or, they too suffer from bittervet arrogance. When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

If I can't pronounce i'll find a short, I am notorious for mispronunciation, anyone who has flown with me knows this, i'll usually call you ilitials, or a few letters after I butcher your name once. I also tend to call people by the first char that ever joined me. A guy in my corp kept buying and selling chars when he first joined ages ago, and I always called him Ice after his first guy. had a guy drop a toon and make a new one and I called him by the first guys name.

I dont mind my name as a family name but I really need a first name easy to pronounce. I'm sorry that you now don't like your name. If it was offensive complaints could get it changed.. other than that you are stuck with it. I suspect your best course of action is to save up and buy a new character from the baazar that already has the sp you want and has a name you like better.
