Have a look at this post for invalid names:

http://www.illarion.org/community/forum ... php?t=5753

and to check yourself, have a look at the name rules:

http://www.illarion.org/illarion/us_name_rules.php

so you will found out, that two of the names you asked are for sure invalid.

It is quite difficult for one to get an account to his/her own liking, is it not? :( My role-playing character met the requirements for a name (Ziro Vitrudestec) as listed in those rules but perhaps I was not accepted because the name is only four letters or I did not give much info behind my character. I could have told much more, but didn't because what I would have said would not effect my role-playing due to the structure of my character. I also noted that the name "Ziro" is on the list of names which are not accepted and I have to wonder if it was added when someone took note of my application to play Illarion. Anyhow, it is good to see that this game has strict role-playing regulations. Many MMORPG's claim to be about role-playing, but have a horrible, if any, role-playing environment. Also, it's interesting how the list notes that "Diablo" is the title of a game, but not how it's a word from the Spanish language meaning "devil".

As the name is written in the list of Galdriel
Galdriel wrote: Ziro
the name was rejected cause of the four letters.
Why haven't you used your full name for the application (Ziro Vidrudestec)? With the full name, there wouldn't be a problem.

Wait, the four letter rule doesn't apply if you're using a last name (like my name) right?

I was pretty sure I applied as Ziro Vitrudestec for the character name, but used Ziro for the account name and forum account. I hope neither of these would effect my application to that degree. I may try again if I accidently applied as Ziro rather than Ziro Vitrudestec.

Drei Jol,

you could get some Problems with your Name. Not because your Firstname has only three Letters, but it is a Word.

"Drei" means in German "Three" (3), and you are not allowed to use Words as your Firstname.
I cant tell you if you get rejected because of this, but this might be a reason if you get rejected.

Oh... dang. I think I picked the best name and it is a word. :(
