LL should ban the surname Remblai because it doesn't really mean anything and somebody somewhere might have trademarked it and LL could get sued OMG!!!
Um...this post means nothing, I just found the thread to be funny somehow....Carry on.

So many people in SL are on a 'God' complex ... It almost sounds as if you havent' noticed - FL is absolutely rotten with people who function on the assumption "anything I don't like should be illegal!". It stems from the grossly arrogant attitude that "anything I don't understand must be morally wrong" coupled with the firm belief that Mommy (then by extension the government - which erroneously translates as LL in the context of SL) must always enforce with an iron fist some imagined 'right' to never feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. A logical result of years of self-esteem worship child rearing and the social cancer known as Political Correctness, this "God complex" you mention is yet another example of people bringing their FL selves into SL. _____________________

Hi there, regarding to the upcoming and so picky "OMG I FEEL SO OFFENDED BY THE NAME ****" No one cares if the name offends only you. It has to be "broadly offensive". Read the Community Standards. Quote from the community standards: Quote: 5. Indecency Second Life is an adult community, but Mature material is not necessarily appropriate in all areas (see Global Standards below). Content, communication, or behavior which involves intense language or expletives, nudity or sexual content, the depiction of sex or violence, or anything else broadly offensive must be contained within private land in areas rated Mature (M). Names of Residents, objects, places and groups are broadly viewable in Second Life directories and on the Second Life website, and must adhere to PG guidelines. http://secondlife.com/corporate/cs.php _____________________

ya sorta like when I played WoW and found an innkeeper named Floyd Pinkus I know Fuchs is a rl name but to be honest when she first messaged me in game I thought she was gonna try to sell me sex till I realized who it was lol Devs have to sneak in their favorite things. Some are just less obvious about it than others. In Kings Row, the detectives are Freitag and Becktrees. Referencing: Friday and Streebeck from a Dragnet movie. In Talos, there's Basins and Croquette.. aka Tubbs and Crocket of Maimi Vice. _____________________

Why am I the only one who doesn't understand OP? Or is the rest ignoring it?
"* Tracey I have read about a little girl named Tracey who was raped by her daddy for years. I see Avatars on the grid named Tracey.. I really feel this is some kind of sarcasm to all the pain the girl went through. PLEASE REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY" So just because SOME girl SOMEWHERE was killed and named Tracey at the same time, people are not allowed to be called Tracey? (Echo yell with cool effects) WHYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!? _____________________

But it would be interesting to know how LL selects the list of surnames, and what thinking is behind it. When my partner and I first joined SL, it was a long list with many street names from San Francisco. _____________________

The names that should be banned in SL are the one with no Capital Letters at the start!!
I mean....whats the matter with those people who type "bob" insead of "Bob" as thier fist name?1/111!? Are there no shift key's on thier keyboards!!11! I think Linden Labs should hire a crack team of investigators to go around and correct these errors in capitalization!1!!1 |

@OP:
So, because someone with a name has done something, or has undergone something, the name should not be used anymore? Ever considered that e.g. Adolf is a common first name in mane countries? Or all the names you mention, are common. Should they be banned from RL too? COME ON.. get real here. Tell me you're joking right? otherwise, i advise you to not ever consider to go politics (in RL).. or the world will tumble down with this idiotic thinking. (sarcasm) anyway.. happy friday everyone.. (ooh, wait isn't it friday? the post suggested it... dang!  ) |

Fuchs isn't nearly as funny when you know how it's pronounced. I can't understand what's wrong with fok - in Dutch it just means breed. Ik fok honden means, I breed dogs - honest. EDIT sounds like fuchs and sensitive varients thereoff. People just jump to conclusions based on the sound and false or limited understanding. _____________________

lol, wrong translation...
Fuck doesn't mean breed, it mean neuken. So, in your example, "i fuck honden" means, you're having intercourse with dogs. (aka beastality) Fok, means breed... "i fok honden" means you're helping dogs breed, get puppies etc.. |

I think they should ban all names that rhyme. Nice one Cheree and of course yours does not???? LOL. But back on topic.Whilst we are here ,I am not keen on Joaquin as a name, Perhaps ban that one as well.His role of a mincing ,lisping,limping,sister screwing shitehead in Gladiator put me off for ever . _____________________

I spent few hours looking up different naughty or rated R names are out there in search out
of curiosity tonight. Tons of names after every body part and function one could imaginable majority don't have photos or anything in profile and were all created during 2006 to 2007. Favorites were the naughtier last names I saw all had last names Ranger, Spittler, Commando, Dix, Shepherd, Bent. Cummings, Noe, Oh but there were numerous others I don't want to write. Some of names were hilarious but I don't know if I should mention the names here I saw. _____________________

I grew up on a housing estate called 'Dinglederry' (named after a field that had been there in the 17C, apparently)
Anyway, we often got letters that spelt it wrongly. Dingly Dell, being a popular variation - and mostly, Dingleberry. A few days ago, whilst reading a thread on another forum, I found out what that means. I am so very glad I no longer live there now, lol _____________________

There is a village near to where I grew up called "Pratts Bottom" don't ask me why. I grew up near Nether Wallop. There are three villages - Upper Wallop, Middle Wallop and Nether - which I think means Lower - Wallop. _____________________
