It’d be cool if Blizzard introduced a service to create your own character title. It could be moderated by your title going through an approval process first. Or, the same deal with names where there’s just a “report inappropriate name” option but for titles.
This would enhance roleplay or just make characters funnier.
Eh, I don’t know. I feel like titles should be recognizable.
The naming policy might be due for an update, though, and they could allow us to access the gender or body type restricted titles with barber shop options. 
Body type 2 char using Lord of War, etc.
Good idea, but… as always, brace for flaming.
What I’d like is being able to use a first title and a last title.
A last name would be cool.
This would make more sense as an expansion of the naming system, and would be great.
I’ve always wanted “Sapper” for my engineers.
Oh yeah that too.
That’s what I came here to say as well. 
Mr. Kennie Specsington?
Yeah, exactly. 
I think that it’s important to have a name that you’re attached to, and it’s difficult to get a “good” name these days because it takes 4 years for unused ones to get freed up.
Oh my oh my, the number of trolls that would abuse the heck out of this are numerous. They already can’t be trusted with character names not to be racist or vulgar, I cannot imagine giving them the ability to make their own titles at all. Given they either think it’s appropriate to act the way they are in game, or think it’s funny when it’s simply not.
I’ll never understand why this game doesn’t have surnames, considering where a number of the original devs came from.
In old school EverQuest you could choose a surname at level 20. My paladin was named Norom and I choose Aerauoy. 
A shame surnames/additional names are relegated to third-party addons such as TRP. But at least we have them in the meantime.
They could go for the middle road and do the D4 method with customizable titles but you unlock the words you can use through achievements. Still recognizable but also customizable.
Agreed.
I mean, people already do this. There was a time where most of my names were either innuendos or risky-sounding nonsensical names. But this is why we would have a name/title-flagging feature.
It’s not really flaming, it’s being practical, people as it stands cannot be trusted not to create racist or vulgar names for their characters in game. They even use special characters the bulk of the time to circumvent the name system. So giving them the ability to create titles just amplifies this issue further, given there isn’t an effective method to moderate it other than banning the use of special characters in names to limit people’s ability to keep making these bad names that are blatantly against the ToS.
It would certainly be cool, but it’s a unfortunate case of rotten apples spoil the bunch here, in that the people that think it’s funny or appropriate to create offensive names and titles. Will 100% do so with glee until it’s either removed or gutted enough that it stifles everyone’s ability to be creative or have fun with the system. Heck an out of game example was a YouTuber that made a talking banana that was live streamed in which people course use a twitch command to get it to say back what they typed. In which a literal discord group found the stream and began to make it say the N word and other vulgar phrases and words. So the YouTuber modified the command several times to keep them from getting it to say the vulgar words that they kept spamming it with, to the point where they started using German words that sound similar to the vulgar words they wanted it to say. It got to the point where he had to take the steam down permanently because they wouldn’t stop and it ruined a fun thing for everyone else because they thought it was funny to be as selfish as possible.
Bad people will find creative ways to keep doing the bad behavior their doing until someone forces them to stop permanently. In which the same outcome will happen if you let people make their own titles, they’ll get more and more creative to ensure their intended message is being heard, until you take away all of their power to do so.
Right but why even tempt fate with this, why even add it in when it’s already a know issue and will 100% lead to deplorable behavior. Sometimes it’s better to leave Pandora’s box shut than open it and allow the problem behavior to even exist or become worse.
Well, someone mentioned the unlockable words feature and I do like that. There could also be a thing where all names/titles have a 24-72-hour approval process where a mod reviews it before giving the green-light, charging the credit card/balance on file and notifying the customer of the approval. If the mods approve it everyone has to be OK with it.
Programmatically, this should be fairly simple. Converting similar characters to their low ASCII format should be fine (e.g. ç to c, ê to e, etc.) and then determining “racist or vulgar”. Of course there will always people that try to get around it, but that would be the case with non-extended ASCII anyways.
