Pirate Names - Can't figure Disney out

In my view, it is a glitch, that they don't give a reason for a "bad" name. How can the pirate (or rather, the person behind the pirate) correct their mistake, if they don't know what it was they did wrong, with their tentative name submission?

On TEST, every name rejection should be countered with a report, pointing out that the rejection message does not say specifically why the name was rejected. But I understand people's reluctance to do that...the people reading the reports are probably the same people approving the names.

Well, the funny thing is, our names come from a funny thing having to do with my 4 year old. LOL

He likes to play pirates with his foam swords, and my other half is always 'Captain Tickles' LOL So if Disney only knew... they likely wouldnt have an issue! I just came up with Verilee as a fun 'Mrs. Tickles' name! LOL

Oh well.. perhaps we will try em again!

For the record, Test is a different division and Office all together.
What you will find in administration on Test is completely different from Open administration. Most likely, that is why one allows particular options and another may not… I am hopeful the new content on the way will overshadow your frustrations and perhaps cause them to disappear all together!

Maybe I'm misinterpreting this, but what I'm getting is that you're saying some names might be accepted on test that get rejected on open, or vice-versa, thus the guidelines are followed consistently, but we are simply confused? One of us is being misunderstood, because the open guidelines (for example) clearly state no "titles" but there are countless "captains" and "commodores" on open.

Greetings Mates,
the response i was trying to project was...
1) I agree, some consistency would be helpful, on both test and open. Name approval consistency we can depend on.
2) I thought someone stated why one name could work on Open and then not on Test.
My response of “for the record…” was to lend the fact that they are different divisions as well, added input given to help give some understanding as to why inconsistency may be evident in regards to this thread topic and arena as well…? (I hope I assisted in adding some clarity and not confused it, forgive me if the latter was so)

Ah yes, yes, sorry. Gotcha, I had forgotten about that question that was raised. And yes, consistency would be lovely. Preferably consistency that goes against the guidelines to a certain extent. I really want a "captain." lol

[Commodore Larence]

I think it all just depends what person is working at the time you send in a name, and how busy they are at that point in time. My main pirate I play the most, Larence Tuppington was sent in as a name request of Lawrence Tuppington. When my name came back okay, the "w" had been removed. I know the name was not a typo because I spent about 20 minutes of thinking trying to come up with a real sounding and original pirate name. I now have to live with Larence, and deal with rude people telling me my name is spelled wrong lol. Larence is an actual name that does exist i found out after a Google search.

Side Note: I have a fourth pirate slot I am constantly creating pirates for and deleting trying to make them look like King of The Hill characters... You can not use the name Dale Gribble at all, but after 3 times his alias Rusty Shackleford was accepted, and so was the guild name Dales Dead Bug. Out of boredom I do this just to see if I can get by with it lol. While playing as Rusty, a Peggy Hill pirate came up to me and said hello, and asked me where Hank was... (I thought it was funny figured I would share).

I submitted a name for a pirate and it was rejected. The name was Jacquotte Dalahaye. It is the name of a real life woman pirate that lived in the 17th Century. Maybe because the name was French, it was rejected but there was nothing vulgar about the name. But I was very disappointed to say the least because I created her with this name in mind, now I have to try for something different.

Yes, I did, and it took all of an hour to go through. (as did Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Beth Killegrew, Loi Chai San and Jeanne de Clisson, all historical female pirates) Strange. I can't imagine a person sitting there approving names, I must have hit up the name filter at the right time. All I can say is try try again.

[Nelly Darkpaine]

We tried again.... different spellings. =)

[Erich Uchiha]

Hmm, Disney is indeed a weird one with the names my pirate is named Erich (My RL first name) Then Uchiha (Which is from an anime called Naruto that I use to watch) and your able to say Uchiha without it being italized

[Dann Jacques]

It's quite strange, because my name was approved on the first try (Dann-Jacques La Puette)....go figure....

[Nelly Darkpaine]

OK, second time is a charm. They got approved. =)

[VICTORIA.R]

just keep entering the name....thats what i did it took 3 or 4 trys, but eventually they approved it lol

[Shnoodell]

I tried for "imma poor sailor" on test and have been waiting for 3 weeks and im still swashbuckler and i cant do anything about it.
