I hope we never get here. I definitely want to have situations like a PvP villain with a massive bounty on his head having a name that's just "Harold".

Voting and word filters almost always backfire. At the end of the day the only real solution is a capable, well staffed GM team and real consequences for repeat offenders.

I feel like suggesting 'more suitable name equivalents' can help some people, but the code for that is an uphill battle against the likes of xXxSSGSSGogeta134xXx

Spaces are optimal of the possible 'evils'. Abuses of it lead to slightly annoying but still readable not totally immersion breaking names. ~are the second worse just by virtue of being close enough to 'fancy font' but are obviously worse than spaces. X's get into video gamey territory but at least its like... Trying to get a concept across and isn't commonly used. Once you get into numbers and pther tripple letters the whole system devices into chaos.

I personally preffer 'family name must be unique but given name not' while restricting numbers spaces and punctuation other than an apostrophe. Weird ass last names are much more tolerable when your first name can be 'Dave' or 'Monica' without worrying about it already being taken. Especially in a fantasy setting where weird letter combos feel immersive/standard fare.
