It's not the first time anyone has brought it up because the staff literally addressed both of those things.
1. First, you can't duplicate a name on Green unless you create that character on the SAME account that has that character on Blue. To the extent you did duplicate your Blue char's name on Green, the staff already said an X would be added to the end of the Green char's name. This is exactly how they did it on live and is extremely simple and easy to do.
2. The staff already issued a warning at the beginning of Green that the Titanium client UI has limitations where it can only show 8 chars at character select. If you merged and your account has more than 8 chars, the ones lower down alphabetically still exist, but you just cant see them on the char select screen. So you'd have to delete some higher up the list to get those to show up. The staff were VERY clear that this was completely at your own risk...i.e., accounts are free so if you are going to be creating more than 8 characters across Blue and Green you should make sure that no account has more than 8 characters on it in the aggregate. They were very clear that there's nothing they are aware of that they can do about this issue and if you ignored the warning then that was your problem when the servers merge.
All of this has been addressed. A merge process isn't crazily involved (look at how quick any easy the Green/Teal split and then merge was). That's not what's making them not make a new server right now.
