    Thanks. My handle is obviously @Hawke.. but Having the character named Hawke would be fantastic.

    I guess you didn't get yours either. :(

    Still patching sadly, I'm hopeful I will get the name I want, but I guess a lot of good names or preferred options will be gone by the end of the day.

    Wondering if I should make several characters before playing properly just to get the names I'd like! :s

    I can't believe Legolas is taken so early on in the piece. I guess I'll have to go to my back of Chuck Norris.

    I wanted Petra, which is my real life name. I never get that name in any game. I got up early in hopes of getting it, been trying to log in since they opened up the servers at 6am est and once I finally get in an hour later it's taken. It's not like the name is that common. So sad :(

    Awwwww....

    If I had taken Petra, I would have given it back to you. Sadly, I'm a man so the chances of my name being Petra would be extremely low, if not very strange.

    Eh, you think being a man means the chances of having a female name (and a female toon) is extremely low ?

    Its a truism that most female toons are played by men. My 1st toon is female, Bella Nightshade (and who took Nightshade eh??? :'( ).

    Edit.... Now I read your comment back you actually say the chances of you having a female name so fair enough ...

    Seriously if you think men taking female names doesn't happen you should meet my husband and his WoW account, let alone the characters he had in the beta hehe!

    I'm doing okay on mine so far but that's mainly because I have a lot of obscure ones.

    I'm male but have a female character this time around for ESO, who is not named Petra in this case. If it were I'd delete and give it back as I'd not like to have my name in game.

    Just for the record, I had a Nord... a big Nord who was bare knuckled, hairy chested man's man in Skyrim, you Milk drinker! :p

    In oblivion I was a Male Bosmer. In Morrowind I was a Male Crusader. I like longs walks on river banks, my favorite color is blue and my favorite drink is cyrodilic brandy. The extra information was for your benefit. :p

    It's because of MMOs that I tend to use particularly unique names just to avoid name loss. Some MMOs allow multiple of the same name; not sure why more don't.

    Not all MMO's use your account name in-game. But since ESO does for the most part, I don't see why they couldn't.

    Back in the day, PSU had visible account numbers, but not names or any personal data. So you could have two "Hawke"s.

    The downside, of course, was that if you didn't know what your buddies account number looked kinda like, you could mail the wrong person!

    I managed to get the name I was after, luckily, though I feel for those who didn't. It sucks when you can't use the name you really wanted.

    I didn't check, but wasn't it possible to add a last name? Thought I read that somewhere, though it's still not really the same either way.

    Yeup, spaces are permitted in names so you can add a surname. It doesn't always suit some names however and I can understand why people are annoyed by name-parkers.

    I too find myself infuriated by the name sniping. At least players who in beta had established characters should have been allowed early selection.

    Somehow I just don't see Atropos or Carde sacrificing their names (first and second emperors). Luckily, they, like me, probably have a surname or something they intend to use. I just defaulted to Lord Luciendar when Luciendar was taken.

    There was actually a discussion on Reddit's /r/ElderScrollsOnline about people trying to get that name, so I'm guessing some lucky Redditor got it.

    However, given the naming rules, it will probably be deleted as soon as a GM notices.

    @Katrianah‌ Definately. It's not a very good solution, but it's something at least.

    Yeah, if I couldn't get Kat I was going to go with Lady Katrianah but thankfully it was free!

    Indeed. You can also give yourself a title if a surname doesn't work.

    Only way you can do it is to day have a 3 worded or 2 worded named like: Hawke The Slayer or Hawke Man or Hawke Wind.

    Thanks :D But it is much cooler to have simply Hawke. The same name I have used across many games over the years.

    I took the name Pe'tra, but I don't think that would have taken Petra.

    Every time someone swears, it gets replaced with three asterisks. There's only one three-letter swear word that I know of. I read that in the place of every set of three asterisks. It makes for some amusing sentences.

    I'm tempted to call one of mine Mistress and see how long it takes him to notice when we group.
