Puzzled about "Invalid" names

So I just decided to join up but I am curious about what names are invalid. I am trying a lot of names that are invalid (NOT already taken, but invalid).
In particular, trying to use some names I've used in other games, I've noticed that **any** name beginning with "Zigm" (those four letters) seems to be marked as invalid. Would love to know why -- is this some vulgar word or phrase or prefix in some language other than English? I don't get it.

Hi Ziggy, you could try adding punctuation to your name. eg. Zigman could become Zig-Man or Zig'Man. Or add an extra letter, eg. Zigiman, Zigaman. I have no idea if that will help, but it could be worth a try if the issue is having the combination of gm together.PS4 NA Server CP 630+
