Is Mudpie to silly a name?
So I was asked ingame to change my name from Mudpie to something else, and was given the option Kyrran because it matched the Achaea aesthetic.
Background: I just started playing muds 2 days ago and thought Mudpie was a great name to have.
What actually happened: A player asked, on behalf of another player, to change my name since it was silly. I asked for options and he suggested three and I chose Kyrran because it was the least silliest to me. But I made my name Kyrranmudpie since I really wanted to have mudpie.
After that another player asked me if Juliet had forced me to changed my name. I said no, and explained what happened. She told me that I could have Mudpie as a title and Kyrran as the name. She got Juliet to give me another name change and I changed it to just Kyrran in the hopes that someday I could earn the title Mudpie.
Why I care: Turns out you have to log in with your character name. I reallllly don't want to have to type in Kyrran each time and am wondering if I should suicide (delete) my account and start over as Mudpie. Or should I suicide (delete) my account and find a suitably Achaea name (I think there is a random name generator Achaea gives you when you create a character).
Note: To delete an account permanently you use the suicide command.

Yes it is too silly.
Personal opinion, "Mudpie"-anything is even too silly to have in one's title, though in some orgs you would probably (definitely?) get away with it.5 -
First of all - welcome to Achaea!
Mudpie as your official Achaean name seems a bit silly, to be entirely honest. You should use Kyrran to explore and get a basic understanding of the realms before you create your first "real" character! I think I played a few test characters for a couple RL months before creating Dairon.
The game also enables organizations to "title" characters. For example, you could end up being "Mudpie" Kyrran. You'll need to progress within your house/city before getting custom titles, but this is also an option.
I hope you enjoy the game. Don't be discouraged!1 -
Entering into an RP enforced environment for the first time can be kind of intimidating. In real life we'd scoff and roll our eyes if someone named their children "Chair" or "Lemon." What may seem fine as an internet alias, may not always fit as a name in our realms.
Often times a good rule of thumb is to sit back and imagine if the name would seem to fit in a book like Lord of the Rings. It would be pretty immersion breaking if every page made reference to Mudpie the ring bearer, or xxx420noscope the elf (He chose serpent for snipe). So, yes, as a name I would find it silly and even detrimental to the general game environment. Suiciding and simply recreating your character when you've been guided by other players and admin may also be an unwise course of action.6 -
I fully agree with the others in regards to Mudpie being a rather poor choice for such an environment and I do like Kyrran but if your sole reservation is merely typing it over and over to log in you can setup your browser or Client to enter it automatically. If it's that you don't really care for the name then I would take some time to introspect and find a more fitting, and enjoyable name.5

I think Kyrran's a pretty decent name and agree very much with Telendrieth. Hope you stick around!
Boss.
My point is, you can get Mudpie as a name, and be a jolly joker fellow, but also try and be formidable in a way. It doesn't have to be combat, mind you. Maybe be super Socratic witty or somesuch. Welcome to Achaea!
Kyrran is a good name. Sounds like an assassin to me.
