I've had a search and found a few topics similar, but this is more a personal question, so I thought I would ask here.
I have a main on Ragnarok that I am seriously thinking of transferring over to Balmung (to be honest, the welcoming people on here have convinced me hehe), but I am a tad concerned his name might cause me a few problems, being that it is Garrus Calinth.
Now when I first made him, it was my little cousin who made the name up after saying how much she liked the space kitty in Mass Effect (I am inclined to agree, he's adorable). As such, I am loathe to change it, should the option ever come up, as I am quite fond of it and the fact that she made the name up.
My question is, will the name Garrus and the fact that it is from another game, cause me problems RP wise? It didn't matter so much on Ragnarok as virtually no one RP's there, but I'd like to bring him over here and keep the name, but I'm a little concerned people might scoff at me over it and it might earn me a rep on the server as being someone to avoid when it comes to RP?
Not sure if that makes sense, but I know a lot of people are quite insistent that lore abiding names should be used, that I worry I'd have wasted my time transferring. One of my other reasons for transferring is that Ragnarok is a very silent server in terms of people talking. I've barely spoken to anyone online, in parties or say, even my FC is silent, so I'm hoping to come to a more lively server with like minded people.
I can spin his name off by his back story, because I'd always had him as being found as a baby and raised by Hyur, so a story isn't the issue, it's more what others might think and how badly people feel with other franchise names being used, so if anyone had any feedback I'd appreciate it.
Sorry if this is silly >_< I'm a bit of a worrier.
