It essentially means you're good until someone decides to actually report you. In which case they take you to GM jail from what I hear and tell you to change your name.
i think people explained why the viewpoint is taken so seriously. RP on tumblr and Livejournal seems stemmed from fanfiction where if you had an OC insert most people are -way- more concerned about mary sues and gary stus. It doesn't mesh all too well with MMO RP.
I know you don't want to change the name and honestly I say you can keep it. But IC and during Roleplay scenes I'd suggest just having the character say "-some name not actually derived from an actual characters' name-" If they do say something about your name, you don't want to RP with them anyway cause that's meta-gaming.
And yes I realize my name is a complete weaboos but I've rolled with it... and people have done the same... but it's not an actual characters' name.
I'm just going to say this here now. I fucking love Nanoha and Fate. If I met you in-game and you did use the name I might roll with it but i would be -seriously- -fucking- -judging-.
