Whats up with all these half assed attempts at naming you character? Are people really so un-imaginative that they cant think of a proper-sounding name? I mean do you really wanna be know as the darkhole penetrator or true sebiestor? And those are probably some of the better examples!
One of the things you dont want in ANY roleplaying game is names that
A: make no sense at all (who the hell names his child blackhole penetrator?)
B: is similar to or identical as some known person or character (Conan the barbarian)
Why invest several hours per day into a game if you cant even invest enough to make a decent name? It just is beyond me. And even if you dont care about your gaming experience, think about all the other people you rob of gaming experience.

Problem for many people is that you only plan to test the game for a short while. You end up playing it for three years with a skill queue for another year. I'm just glad it wouldn't allow my account name to be my character name.
Personally, I'd like to add a sirname to my main and my (primary) alt, seing as how both are single-namers. Also, if I knew exactly what Ithildin was (apart from meaning "Starglimmer") I'd have named him differently.
But I've got some renown now, so it'd not be a good idea to tamper with my name even were it allowed.
My secondary alt is named wisely, though.

First name an surname should be enforced to be honest, or a proper callsign... The ability to have the two showing, for example 'Izo "Assmuncher" Azlion' shown when you info them.
Not neccessarily offensive ones, lol.

Yes I admit some people have problems with my name. Still is far ass hell from "asswipped *****muncher"* or any other stupid name people might have on their char.
Also its pronounced Ker-ber-a. And its a bit of a shame that its so close to care-bear as someone pointed out to me some month ago. Never thought of that =)
*you see forums dont even allow me to type that one ;)

Theres a dude in EVE named "That Guy". I read a funny bio about his name and how he's never called primary.
"That Guy is primary"
"which guy"
"That Guy!"
"WHO?!"
"That Guy!!!!"

I used to own the charactor iamaspy, I loved her dearly. I was going through a "I-want-to-have-sarah-michelle-gellars-babies" Phase when I signed up, hence my name.

Well I think naming has a lot to do with how serious people take a game. Many just see it as a way to have a little mindless fun, or to vent RL frustrations, and that kind of shallowness is reflected by the name. Others immerse themselves deep into the game right away, care for their bits and bytes, and that devotion is also reflected by names.
And of course there are all kinds of crossbreeds between these two extremes.
I actually ditched my yearlong one-word pseudonym from other games for EVE because I found it unfitting for a game of this scope.

I don't know, I guess some people just have problems with making up names....I've never had such a problem, I've made up many names for a number of games. Rakeris is my favorite atm though. I'd list some but then I may want to name an alt with one of them. :P

I love my name, it has relevance to my home system and even came up with a little back story and everything..
Its a two parĘter, so you could say I have a second name "Pen" "Cheven"
Only slight problem is soon everyone calls you "Pen" for short, after a while people catch on there are numerous unimaginative or shall we say "childish" name calling that can start with Pen..
Sigh.. the torment..

Errr... Mind your own business scummer. People can have whatever name they want. People might choose a choose a char name identical to a real life/fictional character because they are role playing. Strange thing to do in a role playing game i know.
People might pick a funny name or a childish toilet humour name because they are alts or secondary chars. If you cant deal with other people's choices play a single player rpg where everyone will have consistent names, or try tetris in case you start taking issue with npc names.
