    They would have done this on purpose, not having liked the name Swastika for it being the Nazi emblem. Sorry, but I don't think they will be changing it back.

    Im just gonna throw this out there buttttttttt..... Even though it has other meanings it still has one bad meaning which gives it a bad annotation over all which can still be offensive to some people therefor making STS rename you.

    Just sayin'

    Welll if no one had a problem with it I believe you would have the name still, but someone must have not liked it and have had a valid reason. And honestly i dont really have a problem with it And quote wikiapedia "The swastika (卐) (Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक) is an equilateral cross with four arms bent at 90 degrees.
    The earliest archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization of present day Pakistan/Ancient India as well as Classical Antiquity. Swastikas have also been used in various other ancient civilizations around the world. It remains widely used in Indian religions, specifically in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, primarily as a tantric symbol to evoke shakti or the sacred symbol of auspiciousness. The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix. The swastika literally means "to be good". Or another translation can be made: "swa" is "higher self", "asti" meaning "being", and "ka" as a suffix, so the translation can be interpreted as "being with higher self".
    In East Asia, the swastika is a Chinese character, defined by Kangxi Dictionary, published in 1716, as "synonym of myriad, used mostly in Buddhist classic texts",[1] by extension, the word later evolved to represent eternity and Buddhism.
    The symbol has a long history in Europe reaching back to antiquity. In modern times, following a brief surge of popularity as a good luck symbol in Western culture
    , a swastika was adopted as a symbol of the Nazi Party of Germany in 1920, who used the swastika as a symbol of the Aryan race. After Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, a right-facing and rotated swastika was incorporated into the Nazi party flag, which was made the state flag of Germany during Nazism. Hence, the swastika has become strongly associated with Nazism and related ideologies such as fascism and white supremacism in the Western world, and is now largely stigmatized there due to the changed connotations of the symbol. Notably, it has been outlawed in Germany and other countries if used as a symbol of Nazism. Many modern political extremists and Neo-Nazi groups such as the Russian National Unity use stylized swastikas or similar symbols." So its once positive anotation was turned bad by the god awful nazi party. If your not using it the "Nazi way" or taunting/harrasing people with ther name there is not a problem in my eyes butttt some one was offended and therefor STS must take action.... I would recomend emailing them to see if you can get a free rename if not just go save up the free plat offers or even buy some...

    I'm Jewish, not too keen on having someone named this. Even if you aren't for nazism, someone might be, and you become the catalyst for their insults.
