Bottom line: I need help finding a new name. Two word names respectfully declined, including "Pikkopots".
Many thanks to Vlorsutes for the help with the banner.

Pikkopots.
To be fair I responded before you edited in "no pikkopots!"

That'd make a better forum name. :P
I tried Spam, it was taken.

Someone appears to have a bigboy crush on the posters in this thread. How about using your favorite pornstar name? Celebrity names are the fashion too, why not name after your favorite Lost character, or MMA fighter.
Honestly, I'm afraid that if there are any good suggestions that come out of this thread, they'll be taken before Pikko could even act.
All of the players being forced to change their names are really being dealt a disservice. Even names that seem simple can hold extremely sentimental value to the holders, and it's one reason I always wished there was a 'last name' system in place for occasions like this. If only...
Best wishes.
edit: Fruits are always nice tarutaru names. Lime, orange, apple, pear... just a matter of finding one that hasn't been taken.

Somehow I don't think my cute redhead would look right walking around as Crocop or Bjpenn.

I would try to remember how you came up with the name in the first place, if it meant anything to you when you came up with, and try to come up with something meaningful again. I know it's not much of a suggestion, but I'm terrible with names and everything I wanted for my character was already taken in 2004, so I couldn't imagine trying to make a name now.
Edit: Pikkocious actually struck me as rather amusing and cute.

Pikko,
First let me say that you have a talent for writing. When I first clicked the link to read what was happening, I'd assumed I'd be able to brush off the latest "SE has ruined my life" thread aside and go on about my business as I so often do. Yes, I'm jaded. And I make no apologies for being so.
But, you have managed to do something most people can't: I now sympathize for you. You're right, it isn't fair. But, I'm afraid it is how the world (and SE) work sometimes.
I'll offer you this advice: Instead of focusing on what you're losing, focus on what you're gaining. You'll have the opportunity to make all new friends as well as keep the old ones. New adventures await as you have to hit the new level cap all over again. Isn't all that worth giving up a name?
FFXI was never about any one thing. It was about a group of people playing a game they all enjoyed. Some loved the grind, some loved to make stuff, or grow stuff or do whatever it is they did. You'll still be able to do that. You'll still be able to do what makes you happy, even if it is under a new name. As someone on these very forums once said, "It's not about getting to level 75, its the fun you have on the way."
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

Worry not, Pikko. Even if you don't have the name Pikko, you'll still be you. And you'll still be able to enjoy the game.
