Guild Wars 2

I purchased one of the NCCs from the Gem Store, but so far, every name I’ve tried is either taken or inappropriate.

A few examples of apperantly inappropriate names:

Jessica Kenstington
Jess Kingsley
Lindy Kensington
Jessica Hawthorne

These seemed like very normal names to me, though I’m unsure about most US history, so it could technically be that these were the names of some nasty criminals.

contact support — it’s possible that the “inappropriate name” filter is inappropriately filtering some legit names. They might be able to help you with changing a specific toon to a specific name, i.e. so you don’t have to wait for a fix to the filter.

As to why the names are being filtered… I’m guessing it’s a combination of letters that are sometimes used to bypass filters.

i have the same issue. i even tried to create a new char with the name i want, and it worked, deleted the char and tried with the contract, and it was unavailable..

same thing happenend to me today.
also tried a bunch of names, nothing available. became suspicious and tried just very unlikely combinations of letters – not available. logged out, tried again suddenly the name i wanted worked – but only until i was told it was inappropriate – which it is defenitely not. new char, name worked.

Contacted support.

i bought NCC and named my thief as Mr Ross and it won’t allow me to change it , says it contains inappropriate character or word????
