You can tell they have not logged in as the in-game name look-up says no such user exists, but you can not use or start a toon with that name because it is "reserved". Why should my toon have a name full of numbers if the other player hasn't logged their toon in since the merge?
I would suggest that if these toons with reserved names do not log in once the new character slots are available ... or give them two weeks after 18.6.2 to log in their toon ... then they should loose their "reservation" and the toon that "lost the toss" should be able to use the name, or anyone else for that matter.
If two weeks isn't long enough then pick a deadline after which all reserved names will have a -1 or -2 or -3 added to the end so that the name would then be available to active players.
