    I'd prefer they just allow spaces in names, personally. But yes, I shall be gunning for Loony BoB to not be taken. And I'm very interested in whether it has to be Loony Bob or if I can have the second capital B. Can anyone confirm? Mcawesome would be weird, too. It's a little odd without the capital A. I hope they allow for this sort of thing.

    EDIT: I know this might sound kind of obvious, but have you considered Eleni Miriel, or Miriel Eleni?

    The one thing I dislike the most about this is the thought of having to type in both fore and surname into a chat thing. I hope there are ways around that at least!

    They've already acknowledged that concern and are apparently in the process of finding a superior alternative.

    Awesome. I hope they're also allowing two letters in the second name to allow for McAwesome and DeVille and AlBhed.

    And BoB

    Maybe everyone from EoFF should all have the last name McAwesome so we can spot each other easily. Except Ome Cutecup, of course.

    I've already decided on using my two FFXI names as my name. I'll be Ocin Friem. Doesn't it just roll off the tongue?

    Noo noooo! That's awful! And you know what they say, never trust a man with two first names.

    That does sound pretty cool. Hopefully most will keep their names short.

    Well I thought the idea was good. Nice effort, BoBpants.

    Not really into randomly combining two different names and passing it off as one name. That would be like seeing people walk around as Omecle Ouch or Arwen Galadriel. Then it's not really a first name and a last name, just two different names stuck together.

    I think it's a quote from Talladega Nights.

    My name will sort-of be two first names, but only in that some people call me Loony and some people call me BoB. Really, they combine quite well, so I'm lucky. Maybe you could go anagram or reverse. Eleni Leirim. Miriel Leirim. Miriel Inele. Eleni Inele... okay, that one sucks. xD I don't know. I'm sure you'll find something. If your actual surname is common for a Korean surname you could always go with that (I say common on the assumption that you don't want random people tracing you down very easily online).

    Apparently Eoff is a common last name.
