Would I be kind of shunned by serious RP players if I chose to go with a name from say a Greek, Latin decent? I would really love to get in to some good RP sessions and story lines but I don't want people to shy away because my name is not lore friendly enough I guess. I would sooner choose a different race that I could get away with a more common of name. Thank you for any feedback.
There's always reasons why characters deviate from the usual naming conventions and often these can be used to help show/say something about the character. It's a part of their story after all! As long as it's explained well when it comes up (maybe an alias or some other reason) most folks will shrug/nod and go along with it.
Like most everything in RP, it's all in the presentation.
Sure there's bound to be some who disagree with straying from the conventions, but there are enough RPers on the server that you'll be able to find folks who will mesh with/accept what you're looking to do.
