Some good responses so far, however, I'm almost positive the naming policy says nothing about "disturbing the game immersion of another player". If Taxi Driver broke any naming rule, it would be the one about trademarked products, since "Taxi Driver" is a Robert DeNiro movie. However, that would also call into question why IB's guild name hasn't been changed. Plus, a taxi driver is also an occupation, so an argument can be made that it has nothing to do with the movie.

Quoting here from the policy itself:
"Character names in EverQuest should be thematically consistent with the high-fantasy environment of EverQuest."
Forbidden names:
"Common words and phrases that would not be found in the time, place and setting of EverQuest (e.g. Switchblade, Phaser, Toaster, Cannabis)."
"Names where the combination of the first and last name forms a phrase or violate a previous rule (e.g. Crymea River, Bran Muffin, Story Thyme)."

Maybe you should read the policy carefully before claiming "Taxi Driver" doesn't violate it, bro.
