Two-Part Names: Europe Reservation Guide
Checked: 2026-10-09 · Europe
Prepare a regional full name and check the published reservation window, upgrade eligibility and three-character limit.
Each full two-part name must be unique within your region; either part can be shared with another character. Both parts and their combination must comply with the naming rules.
The European English naming article lists 27 October–3 November 2026. The pre-purchase article labels that window PST and includes reservation with every upgrade, for up to three characters. No exact start or end time is given, so these are source dates rather than a confirmed European local-time window.
Names are allocated in arrival order and availability is not guaranteed. Prepare alternative combinations before reservation opens.
To hide your second name in the game world, open Esc → Options → Nameplates and change My Secondary Name. It still appears in chat.
