Name flagged on realm transfer

Good evening - Not sure what went wrong or why, but I recently did a realm transfer and this character name was flagged and I am being forced to do a name change. I don’t understand why?

Edit: Actually I’m a raging idiot. I thought that I had switched the server to the new server to try the character creation and I did not, so yeah, I’m sure that the name had just been taken. Good grief I feel like a fool now…

There’s another player on the destination realm who owns that name, likely?

Since two players cannot have the same name on the same realm you would need to select a new name.

Names would be unique to the server, which means, the name was already taken on your destination server.

I checked before the transfer if the name had already been taken and I can create a character with that name on the realm right now.

Try naming ur toon that same name that should work.
