Any SL members here? I have to sign up for work, and had a question about the "last names" aspect of creating a character account. What is the deal with that? Are there any issues* with lastnames that I (as a total/utter/complete SL newb) should know about? Since you're picking from a pre-defined list and can't create your own "lastname" (not that I'd use my real life last name, I'd just prefer one not from the list), is there any advice someone from the community would give a start-up member? For example, does choosing a certain lastname put you in a [sort-of] "gang"? Do the "Watanabe's" and the "Yiyuan's" get along kind of like the Hatfield's and McCoy's? Do only lamers pick lastname of "Uggla"? Is lastname of "DeCuir" (pronounced "De Queer?) really a code-word for an unofficial GLBT club? Is a lastname of "Swindlehurst" codename for swingers (because it's the only lastname beginning with "swin..."? And what's the deal with the first choice of lastname ".............."? Thanks in advance. * While my initial post is in regard to "lastnames," any other advice to newbs would be greatly appreciated. |
