I say that MMOs should institute a (“select the genre”) name generator that generates a list of three names you can select from. No outside names will be accepted. That way their world consists of players named according to their conventions.
Think about it. We all get stuck with a name given to us by our parents…unless you change it later in life. Does this make you less likely to play the game of life? No, you continue on playing because, in the end, it is the game that matters. (As a side note, I am glad that RL society punishes people for ridiculous names. Could you imagine sitting next to a co-worker named “CreamInMyAss2766” or "Pedi-file"? Ha-ha.)

EQ does have a name generator in character creation (we're just not required to use it). Though I did just roll the name 'Gogagog' for an ogre warrior, which is pretty amazing.
