Did you roll up a bunch of randoms with the Names you wanted but are afraid to try creating the "real" versions of the character with that name because someone might take the name while you are working on tweaking them?
Did you foul up a character and need to redo them but don't want to lose the Name?
Here is a method, tested, that you can use to keep that favorite Name.
1. If you haven't already, roll up a random character, don't worry about any settings for them other than that Name you want.
2. Log that character in, then log right back out to character creation. You now have your place holder for the name.
3. Now go into character create and fiddle and tweak. Check everything twice etc.
4. Hit the Back button into character creation. Yes your changes are still there, go back into create character and see... See? Hit the Back button.
5. Delete that place holder character you made.
6. Go into character creation, quickly, and enter that Name you love.
7. Log them in.
If you do the above quickly there is little chance someone else will grab the name.
