I was rather hoping the names would stay as we'd set them.... Mixing it up risks the full name never being seen
I think it is fine for beta, and I absolutely want the full names in the full game as well, however
given the number of people who paid for a name (probably quite small) if the names are not mungled....... or a giant pot of frontier names put in (which equally reduces the chance of seeing your personal name) then imo the names will pop up too much and be a bit samey.
imo mixing up the pot, and keeping the full names as well offers a nice compromise, that way you will still see part of your name pop up from time to time....
having "just" the full name in now for beta actually is imo the perfect compromise as hopefully if you play you WILL get to see the proper name at least once.
just my 2p.....
