I'm so glad that Blizzard has put this amount of effort into coming up with a set of arbitrary, in some cases mystifying guidelines for the naming of OUR own characters, (note the our) rather than say, working on bugs or improving gameplay. While I can understand and agree with the concept of preventing names containing profanity or otherwise discriminatory wording, the fact they had the audacity to effectively tell us what a "good" name is absolutely blows my mind. News flash Blizzard, not everybody wants to roleplay, and not everybody wants to roleplay with some boring, cliche name like Tanis Dragonslayer, ala Everquest and any other fantasy oriented RPG.
Then again, Blizzard has never had much imagination, so I can't say I'm surprised they'd want to limit our own.
