    It apparently checks character names. Very annoying.

    My main pet has been named Loki since 2002, and I refuse to believe anyone would confuse a widowmaker with a player.

    This can't be right because I've seen people rename their pets after me (Byste) post-merge.

    I think pets aren't being allowed to name any taken /pet/ name actually not character name. And it also seems to be required that pet names are only 1 word -- no spaces. Of course I could be wrong too...

    It appears that naming is borked for some people, i can't change names on my engi pets they have the default names and any try to change it fails with a "Nickname is invalid or reserved." message, also i get a spam message on zoning unless i turn off the persistent pet name switch. I tried deleting the prefs for the toon as well to start fresh but no joy.

    After some testing, it seems, the only names i cannot take for my pets, are the names I have been using up until the merge. I can rename them to more or less anything BUT those names.

    Glad this is getting fixed. Had a funny renaming session yday... I've had the same pet names on a toon for years. Now they were gone, tried to rename and got that "Nickname invalid" thing. Tried quite a few names, always same. Figured it's bugged and typed "/pet rename plaa" for the fun of it. That worked! As I wasnt very fond of that, tried to just put them to default. Nickname invalid again! So now my healpet is Beelamorte or something, as that one *was* allowed.
