Anyone else think this 12-character limit for names should be increased? Especially now considering there wonât be much to do for the next 5-6 months other than work on/level alts.
Thereâs a lot of good/funny names that just âbarelyâ donât fit with the current 12-character limit. If it was say, 15 (or even 18) characters then a lot more names would be possible.
After 12 characters youâre honestly just throwing letters at the screen to see what sticks.
Also
We donât need more meme names. Theyâre annoying enough as it is.
They should allow us to add spaces and special characters into the naming as well
Honestly Iâve always thought having last names would make characters more unique and would be able to use a name multiple times.
you can use Alt key codes but that is as special as you can get sadlyâŚim all for increasing the names
Thatâs another possible addition. I wouldnât mind âlast namesâ, although I would settle for just a longer character limit (for more/better name possibilities).
Really do want Blizz to get on board with the 21 Century and implement last names like every other major MMORPG on the market. Trying to name a character after fifteen years is just painful.
what i mean is like Volâjin or Maiâkon kinda thing it wonât let you do that
Yeah I canât wait to play with âB1GD!CKâ and â0WNZ ur MUMâ
Blizz if youâre reading this, hi 
, also if you implement last names I would appreciate a way to turn them off my unit frames as well. CVar option is fine
Yeah no meme names.
That would drive me insane.
I think most of my character names are between 4 to 7 letters long. The longest name I have is âEvangelyneâ everything else is fairly short.
just because you or others would use it inappropriately doesnât mean everyone would lol
some people like to have more realistic names for their characters lol
I just wish we could use apostrophes and hyphens, limit it to one per character. That and the option to give your character a last name.
some people like to have more realistic names for their characters lol
If that were the case you shouldnât want special characters at all.
The Starcraft 2 Beta community ruined that for us. They tried for a change in naming system by allowing players to have TWO names separated by a period so you could be âJon.Doeâ this worked all well for 2 whole days when inappropriate names popped up on the ladder board like âChildmo.Lesterâ topping the charts. It got scrapped in less than a week.
Look at troll names for a second⌠and rethink that
If the game can filter it when its all one word, the game can definitely filter it when its multiple words.
If it canât filter it to begin with, then thereâs your problem.
Right I forgot how realistic trolls are.
This is why we canât have nice things.
