Would like "Dwagon" as last name
tracked
Eren Padar
Dwagon is a popular avatar (set of avatars, from several companies actually). It would be nice if LL would offer Dwagon as a PERMANENT last name option, so that anyone who chooses a Dwagon as a standard avatar can bear that name. Not to be lightly considered is extra revenue that may be generated from name changes of Dwagon fans.

I liked the idea, and it's a really fun fantasy name for the list of names.

There are many Dwagon’s in SL, so I know this will be a popular name. I hope Dwagon or Dragon gets offered by SL. I was fortunate that Proctor was available when I first started teaching grad students in Library Science about virtual worlds using SL and the SJSU SL campus.

As an amendment to this post, I might ask Linden Lab why they have the habit of changing available last names each month. There are some names that are simply timeless, and need to be permanent. (I present Dwagon and Dragon as two of them.) We don't dictate last names in real life; why would it be a good idea to do so in SL?
The more versatile and open our name changes, the more people will consider changing to-- and paying for-- a more suitable name. Limiting our choices of last names will do just what it has done for years: discourage users from changing their names. From a basic revenue standpoint, that's simply a bad idea. People aren't going to pay for a name they don't want. Why does LL think my name is still what it is? The reason is simple: LL hasn't offered me the name I want. Until it does, I've no intention of paying for a name change... especially at the high price being charged for what is (to my best knowledge) a basic automated data field change.
Further, it has been said that LL limits name changes because it doesn't want the system abused. Speaking frankly, I think for the price LL charges for name changes, the company could HIRE someone to examine all requests for propriety, eh? Or employ AI. There are many alternatives to the currently negative system.

SL Feedback A question if I may, with all due respect: How much effort does it take to add a new last name to the list? I have to believe this would take someone about one or two minutes? Yet how long ago was this basic, simple request originally filed?
No offense, just trying to get some people to open their eyes regarding easy-to-fill requests. This request could have likely been implemented in less time than it took to answer this post and merge with the prior bug report. Seriously.
