Eq live was pretty lenient about names, certainly much more than those nazi SoD rules. My friend had a shaman named Safety and he /surname'd Dance, and a GM came pretty quickly and had to change it due to copyright worries. But the GM had no problem changing his surname to "Goggles", lol. Obviously GM's were more of a case-by-case thing back then though and I'm sure someone else might have not approved.
So far this server seems about on par with classic live names as I remember it. Absor and whoever back in the day might have gotten their panties twisted over anyone with a name that didn't sound like it came out of LOTR, but the actual game climate was a mix of clever names and fantasy ones, and no one seemed to mind. I've certainly never seen anyone flip their shit over a surname like "Nicemace", and honestly that's probably more your problem than his if you're going to ignore someone over that. By that ridiculous logic a dwarf with the surname Goodbeard would also be unacceptable.
