Good names are essential for some parts of the game, for example we will delete characters on Dwilight for stupid character or family names.
What is a good name? Essentially, every name that allows for suspension of disbelief is good. Every name that makes the average person go "what? Nobody would seriously have that as a name!" is bad.
This includes spelling and capitalisation, the avoidance of letters and special characters, but also the choice. Especially your family name is important, as it fits to all characters. You can always delete a character that's called "KingKong", but if your family name is "of the big apes", you will, for example, never be able to play on Dwilight.
