Today's changes to costumes let me finally realize a concept that I have not felt was realized well before. So I renamed the existing character, and then tried to make a new one with the same name about 5 seconds later and it says it is unavailable. Now, this is not a name I would expect to disappear in 5 seconds, like someone was just waiting on the trigger. It's a first and last name, pretty specific. Now, there is a famous person with this name.. we aren't talking mega famous like Angelina Jolie or something, but, well it's my name. No I'm not the famous person, but sometimes I tell someone my name IRL and they are like "oh wow, like that singer's semi-famous sister?" and I'm like, with annoyance, "No, I'm me, not her."
So was this name blanked out and discredited since the last time I made her? Or is this some kind of system I am unaware of where I cannot use the name right after it's deleted, some kind of cooldown?
Thanks for any replies.
