Guild Wars 2

First I have to say: my first "MMO"ish game was GW1, I’ve spent a lot of time in that game from almost release til the release of GW2. I’ve made a lot of friends during that time , but I lost contact with some of them… no need to say they are now inactive in GW1, so I can’t reach them there.
If I type their name to the Hall of monuments calculator ,I can see their accounts has been linked ,but there is no way I can find what name are they using in GW2. Or is there and am I missing something? If not, is it possible to add something to the HoM calculator to display the “display name” of the Guild wars 2 account they are using?
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Try typing their GW1 name into you friends list n GW2. If they have used the same name you may find them.

That’s probably about the main way. Put in all the names you can remember in the friend’s list. If get a match, email and ask if they are the same person. If they know each other, the ones you get a hold of might know other names.

Also, were they in an established guild? Is that guild still up in Guild Wars 1? If so, can you ask guild members there about any names? Did they have a webpage for their guild? Did they make a guild with the same name for Guild Wars 2?

Thanks ,tried doing that but the names I know aren’t used in GW2

Edit: Never mind ,there is a match on one name, let’s hope whoever uses that account is still active
