    Known properties are probably inadvisable even though I've seen a trademarked name running around in PL before:

    1. You don't need an "original name". Just make your own name. There's thousands of words you can choose from to make into a name. You don't need to use other people's names.
    2. You are trying to use the "I know people who don't use some names they have" and making it seem like no one is using the names you want from them. When you are trying to coax people's names from them, give them reasons that go with what you are asking. If you were trying to ask for one of my names, talking about how other people's usage of names won't make me want to give up my name.
    3. This shouldn't even be allowed. Sam says that it it doesn't fit in the trade box, it's not allowed.

    But having a original name makes you look super pro Im not good at making up names, my name in arcane legend is a random genertated name because I got annoyed I couldnt find any original name. I really dont like my name so I want to know if you guys can give me a original and non made up name

    Simply put, the thing you're trying to acquire by using those names, that 'coolness factor' or name recognition or however you want to describe it, is exactly the thing the company wants to control, and prevent from falling into any hands but the ones they want.

    When you use the word "Google", everyone knows exactly what that word refers to. Businesses often have something called 'goodwill', and the more famous they are, the more of it they generally have. They usually have to expend a lot of money and time to build that up, and it has value. So, under the law, not just anyone is allowed to use that business' name, and 'borrow' their goodwill. (This also is extremely true for celebrities.) Unscrupulous folk will sometimes try to use a successful name as part of their own name, and just about every business will do whatever it takes, legally, to prevent this. (Try opening a restaurant that serves hamburgers with the letters "Mc" in the name.) The law allows these businesses to control the use of their trademarked or copyrighted name specifically to prevent anyone from either gaining a benefit from the use of their hard-earned name, or to prevent folk from dragging it through the mud. (Picture a porn star with the name "Big Mac", or "Facebook"-brand tampons; you get the picture.) I'm pretty sure federal law requires companies to "vigorously defend" this asset, which means they can't just pick and choose whom they go after, they have to go after everybody or they lose the rights to protect that name.

    If STS allowed you or anyone else to do this, they could be seen as "aiding and abetting" you in the commission of a crime; unjust enrichment, theft of intellectual property, and so on. Whether they did or didn't actually do this, they'd have to spend thousands, tens of thousands or even millions of dollars defending themselves, and that could easily put them out of business, whether they were guilty or not. To avoid this, and to protect themselves, they make it part of the user agreement that they do not tolerate this behavior in the naming of in-game player characters

    I definitely disagree with the original poster's intentions, and I think it is both highly unethical to allow the use of trademarked and 'goodwill'-type names, as well as extremely unoriginal to use many of the names on that person's list.

    That said, I am curious if there is a list STS has of all of the names which player are not allowed to create characters with. Or if it is more feasible, if I could seek a particular name I've been wanting to have since I started playing STS games a couple years ago. I know the name I am seeking has never been on an active player, and I know it's definitely not a trademarked or otherwise protected name.

    The name is "Arcturus", by the way.

    Trading names is against ToS, not sure about giving names though.
    I got Rot, Decay and Orb in AL, and my suggestion : Try unpopular nouns or verbs.

    Using those names wouldnt be original. Grab yourself a dictionary or search google for your own name.
