Firstly, talking back to GMs isn't a great way to get what you want. Hassling a GM can get you a suspension. They're volunteers - we should try to tax their patience as little as possible.

Secondly, is "harsh" slang for hash? Like weed? Does Bawlzoftheharsh mean "lots of weed"?

If so, perhaps the rules will explain it the issue with the name. Here are quotes from the Project 1999 Naming Policy:

Quote:
•*Common words and phrases that would not be found in the time, place and setting of EverQuest (e.g. Switchblade, Phaser, Toaster, Cannabis).
•*Names that contain sentences (Ikillorcs), phrases (Ontop), or two or more words that do not form descriptive compound words (Petcarbob, Diediedie and Tablechair).
Descriptive compound words are allowed in first names and are encouraged in surnames (e.g. Treehugger, Giantslayer).
Descriptive compound words (each separate part of the word and the entire word) must otherwise adhere to all other naming rules.

There's so many stipulations to the naming policy, they may as well just say "use a randomized name only."

The real stipulation is that you can get away with many violations others can't a as long as no one reports you. If a name is a bad enough someone will report it at some point, but I've seen lots of borderline, but at least kinda funny/clever names, which last for years.
