Thanks for the support . Ill try a petition. Eve was my first MMO and when I created my character I didnt know what I was getting into. I was considering to ask for any traditional amarrian name but I will tell the GM about this thread and your suggestions.

Let them know that you'd like to be called Jeff and that I sent you.

Yes. I know... deal with it. this is eve blah blah. When I created the character I didnt think much about it. The first time i joined a english speaking corp i noticed they had problems pronuncing it or finding a short.
It sucks because i am already over 40m sp and I am considering to retire my main to soloing because of his name.
Sorry if it sounds like a first world problem but i is trully annoying.
I dont mind my name as a family name but I really need a first name easy to pronounce.


Don't the guys you fly with call you something in coms, stick to that or come up with a voice only call sign.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

I understand the problem - didn't think about my name either and later found out that there's a mission in the game with the same name, relating to some dumb chick getting abducted all over the place.

Let me know how it worked out for you...

A short way to pronounce would be: Beater

You think you don't like YOUR name OP. *Sigh*

Seriously doubt a petition will work I'm afraid. Just stick 'call me Jeff' in your bio I guess.

I don't know why but this made me laugh out loud.

Anyways - as rightly pointed out, there is nothing wrong with your name. Personally I would call you B-dawg Big smile


Well, considering the Korean War Memorial (IIRC) in Washington was made by someone called Gaylord... *shrug*

(Fade in on ordinary interview set. Interviewer sitting with man with large semitic polystyrene nose.)

Interviewer: Good evening. I have with me in the studio tonight one of the country's leading skin specialists - Raymond Luxury Yacht.

Raymond: That's not my name.

Interviewer: I'm sorry - Raymond Luxury Yach-t.

Raymond: No, no, no - it's spelt Raymond Luxury Yach-t, but it's pronounced 'Throatwobbler Mangrove'.

Interviewer: You're a very silly man and I'm not going to interview you.

Raymond: Ah, anti-semitism!

Interviewer: Not at all. It's not even a proper nose. (takes it off) It's polystyrene.

Raymond: Give me my nose back.

Interviewer: You can collect it at reception. Now go away.

Raymond: I want to be on the television.

Interviewer: Well you can't.
