So whenever I go to name a character, I always get so frustrated. Most of the time the names I want to use are already taken, for both last and first. I could come up with some random name, but there are specific names that I like and certain first/last name combinations that I think sound cool, also I like to pick names based on what they mean and how the meaning applies to my character.

I didn't see a topic about this (I honestly didn't look to hard though), but I know I can't be the only player annoyed with how the character names work. Even if the first name and the last name I use are already taken, it doesn't mean that combination of names is already taken. And since both first and last have to be unique, it's almost like I have to name my character twice! It's just plain stupid, it would be nice to make it all one thing. Also, in other rpgs I've played the character names don't have to be unique at all just the player's username has to be. I'm guessing those games probably in the character file attach the username to the character name, or something. I don't know know how they do it, but I know they do.
