jayceon Taylor Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 So I might get some flak on this topic but why do names have to super serious I played a character for a year first name big last name Jim (KIA) what is wrong with having a little flavor to a name instead of being super boring and going with normal name like Tom people should be able to be creative in names and being something different then a average first name and last name NO IM NOT COMPLAINING im just asking why can’t people be creative in there own right within rp Of course within blrp rules of no racism or bigotry in character names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Thomson Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 because its an RP server and names need to make sense - you can get crazy and out there with Nicknames, the only people that have to know your legal name are cops, and even then if they get to know you as a name they will eventually call you that too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zethnos Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Honestly, there are a lot of people with silly names already. A lot of them I have no idea how they haven't been asked to change. I don't want to feel like I'm talking to user names. I want to feel like I'm talking to people. Silly names ruin interactions for me honestly. If I wanted to talk to Miles Long.... I'd sit in a discord voice chat lmao. (I don't think that is an actual name on the server, just an example I've seen on other servers.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayceon Taylor Posted January 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Like i understand if the name had a curse word or something offensive in it but if it’s harmless why go out the way to change it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why the player can't have "normal" legal name and then have a "nickname" to be called by people. Its honestly not even funny for 95% of the innuendo names that people try to use. @Zethnos There was at one point someone named Miles Long lol@Mike Lowrey I mean I also hate names that are not unique....lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an ID fill that deliberately looks fake (somewhat within what we're able to do). Dan has a brother within city in which people can find out what his actual last name is. all being said, whenever I originally made the character 3+ years ago or whatever I wasn't thinking this. That's how I go about it tho. Edited January 11, 2023 by Vega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vDrop Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 I'm not sure what the complaint is anymore or rant is about anymore. Do you have examples where you feel suppressed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dK_ Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 No one is born with some crazy names people use, you want a unique nickname other then your “legal” name you can RP that. You want a silly nickname then there’s nothing stopping you from introducing yourself as such while still having a legal name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think Table Cloths legal government name is Table Cloth? Nope, but that’s what every criminal and cop knows him as. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
