I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

I would like to see McNasty or Furple. My husband said he'd only try SL if he could be Filthy McNasty or Burt Furple. Oh, or Cleetus Bleeker - that'd do too.

NO surnames, and longer first names with spaces would be a great idea. Then my name would be pronounced properly in voice chat.

Mud! Mud! Glorious mud! Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood.
So, follow me, follow, down to the hollow, And there let us wallow in glorious mud.

I have one consideration i have for last names that I haven't seen discussed elsewhere.

New last names should include previous last names as infrequently as possible.
For example, there is already an "Adz Childs"
It would be an inconvenience to me if LL were to release "Childstar" as a new last name. If someone were to register an "Adz Childstar" this would make it impossible to get my name alone in a search result. It is conceivable that Adz Childstar might get an IM or a L$ payment intended for me if the person sending it wasn't paying attention.

As a real example, try searching for someone named Frederick. Anyone who is searching for a certain "Frederick" in name search will automatically get all agents whose name matches "Fredericks" as well.

This has happened a few times before. For example
Frederick: Fredericks
Martin: Martinek, Martinez, Martini, Martinkovic
Flaman: Flamand
Glitter : Glitterbuck
Humphrey : Humphreys
Schuman : Schumann
Street : Streeter
Thatch : Thatcher

And, most recently:
Little: Littlething

Another solution is to modify the in-world search to allow searching for an exact name.

You already can, can't you? Just type in the person's exact name in search/people. I do it all the time.
