WoW Forever Naming Rules

Learn how First and Second Names, regional uniqueness, and naming guidance work in WoW Forever.

First Name and Second Name

A WoW Forever character’s name has two parts. Consider how they sound together before comparing your shortlist.

Full-name uniqueness by region

The complete pair is unique within a region. Individual name parts can be shared across different combinations.

Naming policy and rulesets

The naming policy applies to both parts together. Check the guidance for your chosen ruleset, especially when playing Roleplay or Roleplay-PvP.

What the checker can tell you

Local results describe only the rules we can check. The tool cannot see which names are already in use or guarantee game approval.
