One of the first things you'll need to do in this game is choose a name, first a family name and then your first character's name.

There aren't many hard and fast rules. However, we can offer you a bundle of guidelines:

Do not use offensive names. That is really more a rule than a guideline, and characters have been deleted for clearly offensive names.
Both your family and character name should be proper names, not nicknames, handles or code signs.
Use proper spelling, no 1337 5p34k or sy|\/|bols.
In case of doubt, err on the side of common and conservative names.
Think twice before using special characters. While BattleMaster allows you to use language-specific umlauts or accented letters, many players will not know how to read or pronounce them and might feel irritated or confused.
This is a low fantasy genre game, names consistant with the genre will make integration of your character/family to the game more seamless for yourself and others. Remember everyone loves a good name.
