I saw a character yesterday day called "The Elder Scrolls Online", i kid you not, somebody actually called themselves that and no, they were not a mod or the company, just a sad, mad player.

Hmmm, that might be copyright infringement...

Someone earlier in the thread asked for the naming policy for Zenimax. Unless they are hiding another policy this is the CoC that came up from Support:

2. Behavior

2.1 You may not create an account name, persona or avatar that is in any way racially or ethnically defamatory, sexually graphic, hateful, and excretory in nature. You will not reference or claim affiliation to any hate groups. Any other names, text or chat that ZeniMax considers offensive is also in violation of the Agreement including the Code of Conduct.

2.2 You may not create any name, text or chat that negatively references a 'Protected Category' under Federal or Maryland State law. These include any name, text or chat which references or includes Age, Race, Disability, Sexual Orientation, National Origin, Pregnancy or Gender. You may not create an account name that is defamatory, impersonates or attempts to defame the reputation of another account holder, an employee of ZeniMax, property of ZeniMax, or ZeniMax and/or its affiliates.

2.3 Derogatory, defamatory or offensive content used in conjunction with names of famous or important historical, political, religious figures or website URL's are not allowed. You may at no time share or refer to personal information of Yourself or another person, account name, persona or avatar using ZeniMax or its affiliates. You will not create an account name that is in reference to or contains copyright names, popular characters, or the names of modern era serial killers, individuals or groups who have committed crimes against humanity in the past. You will also refrain from participating in conspiracy theories, misinformation or fallacious comments.

2.4 You will not attempt to mask, use misspellings, phonetic spellings, homonyms, word combinations, or alternative spellings of inappropriate material in any communication on ZeniMax Services. This includes but is not limited to text, chat, voice, in-game messaging or any other medium of communication or interaction between players.

You can read the full CoC at this link: https://account.elderscrollsonline.com/code-of-conduct?.

The important point to take away from this is line: "Any other names, text or chat that ZeniMax considers offensive is also in violation of the Agreement including the Code of Conduct". It doesn't matter if you think your name is fine. It matters if they think it is.
