If you have a character name let's say Goodday -- is it possible to also create another character "Good Day" or does one count for owning the other?

Sorry to anyone who actually uses those names, I am just using it as an example lol.

ThisOnePosts✭✭✭✭✭Just to be clear ---- I am wondering if one space in between counts as an entirely new character name (I believe it does, but am not certain and would like to know before trying lol).0

✭✭✭✭You can't create a character with the same name, but you can create one with a close name, like using accented characters, hyphens, spaces etc.Beta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

ThisOnePosts✭✭✭✭✭I know you can't create a character with the same name, that wasn't the specific question lol. Thank you for the reply though.
Some MMOs, will count 1 space in between a name as "taken" whether the space is there or not, it will belong to the same person/character.
I just wanted absolute confirmation as to whether this holds true right now for ESO or not as many changes have taken place since I last played a lot.Edited by ThisOnePosts on December 12, 2019 5:33PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Variants of upper case and lower case are counted toward the same name, so Deadpool, deadpool, DEADPOOL, and dEaDpOol are one name on the server, not four.
But you could have Deadpool, Dead Pool, and Dead-Pool, as well as those names with a preceding article (A Dead Pool, The Deadpool, etc) You just can't start with a space to bypass getting a name already in use.signing off1 -

Darnit I wanted Gibberish as my name.Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭The only limitation is that you can't have exactly the same name.
I once tried to make a character called Dawn-Star. That was taken, but I was able to get Dawns-Star, only 1 letter different.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

✭✭✭✭✭I basically only play one elf. But she manifests as multiple class/specs that all look identical. She approaches the decision of which class to play as for any particular session with no more concern than her outfit or hairstyle. Her name is Buffy and has been so continuously since 2007 through several Elder Scrolls games. Some of the name variations she uses in ESO include: Bùffy Búffy ßuffy Büffy Buffý Bûffy Bµffy Bufƒy Buffÿ Buƒƒy
Sorry I cannot answer the OPs question with total certainty but am monitoring this thread in hopes of a definitive answer.
