my on-again, off-again quest to determine what the limits are for naming our pets is on again. these are the results of the latest testing:
"black", "white", and "yellow" are not allowed. presumably because blizzard wants to prevent fucktwats from using racist names.
"red" and "brown" are allowed. presumably because blizzard doesn't want to prevent fucktwats using racist names enough to be completely thorough.
"green" is allowed. presumably because blizzard doesn't give a flying fuck about offending martians.
For some reason "mister" and "mr" is not allowed either. So many cat names wasted. :(
ReplyDeleteYeah, a lot of titles are blocked. Female versions as well.
DeleteI found out that Godmother was not allowed so had to settle for Thegodmother, so I was happy.
ReplyDelete"the" is also not allowed. amusing that combining the two is okay though.
DeleteTwo of my best that are also not allowed:
ReplyDeleteOptimus Grime (So much for the best name ever for a personal world destroyer)
Hot Air (Seemed perfect for a zeppelin or balloon, no? Apparently not.)
There were many others I recall during my naming binge, but those two are the ones that stuck out the most.
"optimus grime" woulda been freaking awesome. guessing it was the "optimus" part that got blocked, for trademark issues. no guess as to whathell is wrong with "hot air"
