Tips for picking a WoW Forever name

FAQ

Are accented letters allowed in WoW names?

Yes, on US and EU realms you can use accented characters such as á, é, ö and ñ, so "Arthäs" is different from "Arthas". That works for first and last names.

How are variants generated?

We apply accents, sound-alike swaps (c→k, i→y), double or drop letters, and add fantasy suffixes and prefixes to your first name, your last name, or both, and show full First Last combinations.

Can I enter just a first or last name?

Yes. Fill in either box and you get variants of that part; fill in both to get variants of each.

Does this check if a name is available?

No, it can't see Blizzard's servers. Try the variants at character creation; have several ready.
