So, in SWTOR, at this time it doesn't seem possible to have a First and Last name. I'm curious what people's thoughts are about how they plan to name their characters.
Do i do.. Elandri, Elandri'eledar, Eledar?
In other games, it seemed important to have your first name as your name, to be used by your friends and guildmates easier. But with TOR I wonder if that breaks the suspension of disbelief more.
One thing to find out would be how many character spaces are allowed for names, because I have no idea. :P
In a temple roleplay setting, would a Jedi master refer to his Padawan Billy Bronson as Padawan Billy or Padawan Bronson?
I am mulling these things over as I try to pull my character ideas together. :)
I plan to use both names, like Vifi_Sunfell or something like that.
Do we have reason to believe that non-alpha characters (like _ or ') will be permitted? They often aren't, due to database security issues (since non-alpha characters can be used by those in the know to crack the system).

I obviously am a newb to MMOs, but I know that plenty of sites allow A-Za-z and underscore. Either way, I personally don't mind if it's Vifi_Sunfell, Vifi Sunfell or VifiSunfell.
Well I think I'm going to be fine with what ever name I end up with in game. But I also want to point out that Surnames are still a possibility. At PAX(I think it was pax anyway) they said they would adress surnames closer to launch. So it maybe something that will be in game at some point.
Going with my staple names :D
You can use ' and - in your names. I am not sure about _ though. Hence my variations of names Val-Gith, Val'Gith, and just Gith. Any name with Gith in it you can be pretty sure is one of the various "outfits" of my character. Although, I am pretty sure it auto-capitalizes the first letter and nothing else, so if you try to do ValGith or VALGITH it will come out Valgith.
Also, there are 8 spots available per account for characters. I am sure I read that somewhere >.>
I will use no space. RavenMiles :P
