Name change question

[Antimatter]

If you change one of your characters names to free it up for a different character of yours, will there be a waiting time to use the name or will the server recognize right away that a character no longer exists by that name?

I don't want to get rid of a name and then not be able to reclaim it. Any help would be very much appreciated!

AFAIK, as soon as you delete that character or clear the name out for renaming, it is available to whoever happens to get it first. So be quick and don't let anyone know you're doing it if you want to keep the original name.
