I got my preferred name. I thought someone had taken it because it was showing as reserved, but then I remembered that I had a guild wars 1 trial account and I had used the same name. So I managed to find my login details, linked the two accounts and got my preferred name. Also reserved 3 of the other 5 names I wanted, the last 2 were taken.
Haha, using double names is a good way to be pretty sure you can get them. That's why I was only concerned about my 3 single names.
It's why I wasn't really concerned. I always prefer 2 names, makes me feel like a real person, and only the first name counts for me, with the exception of Akim Telbane, which I hold the trademark as drawer on, hehe.
I stopped naming my chars "Elikal Ialborcales" as I used to, got kinda too known. Akim Telbane was my first MMO char EVER long ago in SWG. Sigh.

So, you are playing a Sylvari, right?
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

Dream bigger my friend, dream bigger.
I made one character, logged in, lost the urge to play within 2 minutes like usual. Perhaps try it again in a few weeks.
You stay sassy!

I got Heartless. I got some other decent names but Heartless is the only one I really wanted to get.
Haters gonna hate.
Heartless
Diabolical
Righteous Wrath
Predatory Instinct
Ghetto Fabulous
I had to add a last name to my norn and I completely failed in getting my asura name (I wasn't really going to play it that much anyways)
I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.

Actually, Hyacinth was my backup Sylvari name.
I want Jacinto first, which is a male version of the name.
So I tried Jacinto (Taken), Hyacinth (taken). Went through some other male flower names, ended up with Jacinth. Half Jacinto, half Hyacinth. :P
I was finally the first person to get....
Legolas
I never expected to get the name I wanted but surprisingly I did. An Asura Mesmer popping out clones called, "Im Spartacus"
clone 1 "Im Spartacus"
clone 2 "Im Spartacus"
clone 3 "Im Spartacus"
repeat for endless amusement.
Only got one single-worded name unfortunately.
