Comment I too had to change my name (Score 1) 1691

I made an alt character and wanted to play as a rogue. So I made it a female night elf and named her Backdoorbeth. Anybody that has played WoW knows that rogues like to stab people in the back. I think the name is open to a few different interpretations. So I got to lvl 12 and then some ransom person appears and asks people in my party for buffs. We ignored him and he just stood around asking over and over. I started to wave at him and slap him and spit on him with the built in enotes. He started getting mad and saying he was going to report me for being rude. I told him to shut up and report me. Later I ran into the same guy in goldshire. I waved at him again and he said if I didnt say I was sorry I was getting reported. A few hours later I got a message from a GM and he said my name was inappropriate and that I needed to log out and change it. I asked him why and he said I knew why. To me if any kids are playing and dont know what the meaning is from a sexual stand point arent going to learn it just by reading my name. They would probably just think attacking from behind like any other rogue does. They sent me an email saying i had to change my name it was in violation of the naming convention for characters. I was like whatever and changed it to Backstabbeth. Now they will probably tell me it is too close to Black Sabbeth and will have to change it again. It is just my alt character so I dont really care about it as it was still a new character and I havent really made new friends with that character. If it was my main I would probably feel similar since people know you by your name and guild. I can see if you are lvl 60 and have some ultra rare set of armor that people might still recognize you but they would read the name and think otherwise.
