I'll say this. The majority of players I've seen in game, a good 75-80% or so, possibly more, seem to simply be using randomized names. So it doesn't seem like a lot of people try to come up with a creative name of their own, they just let the game generate one for them.
Is this because of the strict guidelines on naming policy, or just laziness?

I "chose" many of my toons names because I've been using them forever. Way the hell back in 1979 I went to a swim meet in Yakima, Washington. A couple of my teammates were playing some sort of game I never heard of. After sitting down and watching/listening to Mike, Mike, Drew and Mark a shiny new gnomish magician named Tweelis was created. Eventually Tweelis reached level 20, Grand Arch Magus.
As time went on Tweelis was born in September 2000 on Saryrn server. Things changed and that Tweelis retired at level 110 with somewhere around 20k AA's.
Tweelis was then again created on P99-Blue. Years passed and he eventually made it to level 60. Decided to give the epic a whirl on blue....oh to heck with that mess.
P99 green came into existence. It's time to start Tweelis anew. Choose gnome, magician, type Tweelis into the name slot....WTF? Some knuckle dragging mouth breather took my name? Whoever the Forest Gump Rainman is that did this deserves a ghost pepper enema.
Either Tweelis or random name generator.....random name generator it is.
