Hey all, I have to change the name of my Guardian. Crittoris is the name, which I don’t think should be classified as inappropriate because there is no vulgar or racist language being demonstrated by it. I know you guys are very helpful, so I come here to ask if I can do something about this, as I’ve used this name for a variety of MMOs and I’ve never had a problem. Thanks!

The sound of it is very similar to a part of the female genitals, so that is probably why.

Five of five experienced agents — a mix of males and females — agreed that the name was either intended or accidental “creative spelling” for a body part. I did not count myself in the vote, and saw “critter,” but the others pointed out that the spelling was just too close as to make them uncomfortable.

I acknowledge the name is used in other games. But just as we’d disallow the name Penus, even through it’s not precisely spelled like a body part, we will hold the block on this name.
