Whoop! Thumbs UP for my Commander name..... NPC name still pending though.
Me neither. I was sitting in the train when the notification came. So I was able to enter a name 3 minutes after the mail arrived. It was only several days later I noticed it was 'first pledged first approved' instead of 'first registered first approved', so I had not much hope anymore.
'Elendil' (from the Tolkien stories) would have also be fine, since the name means 'Lover of Stars', but there would be many more cool names. 'Mithrandir' (the elvish name of Gandalf), meaning the 'Grey Wanderer' would also fit my hair color...

I had thought about a name from the LoTR but after watching "Band of Brothers" a few weeks ago decided to go for Commander Richard Winters :smilie:
Being a duplicate pretty much covers 90% of the rejections. Other than that the only other real reason is the use of a profanity or including a title in your name.
Thanks Ashley, neither of the other reasons applies to my choice, so I guess it wasn't as obscure as I'd thought it was!

Commander Approved? Really? That'll wear thin pretty quick!
Commander Hieronymus Drake at your service.

OOooh. My ship will be called HMSS Drake. That is named after a ship my grandfather sailed on in WW1 (I am not sure if he was on it when it was torpedoed - in any case he survived the war). That ship (based at Devonport dockyard, where later on my grandfather and father both worked) was obviously named after Francis Drake.
What was it, just out of interest?
I went with Drake as a surname as a tribute to the great SFD... And I love Hieronymus as a first name anyway

Devonport dockyard is spitting distance from me, been living here 5 years but the dockyard siren test at 11.30 am every Monday morning still gives me the shivers, especially when the clocks go forward and i forget.
