I am sure others have tried to name their pets something with "Mr" in the name. I did, and after some trials and errors, I noticed it wasnt the name itself that was the mature language filter error, it was "Mr". I am at a loss for words, we can't write "mr"? in what language is that a bad word? I did manage to utilize "Ms" instead though, so its not all bad. ..but still, really weird bug/filter/error/mistake there.

Nah, Blizzard don't allow titles. Not sure why.

Re: Mr. Grubbs fails the mature language filter
It's not just an obscenity filter. The pet naming rules are the regular naming rules, and they don't allow you to include a title as part of a name. So you can't have a mister or a miss, a princess or a king, a general or a captain, etc. I guess they didn't want people pretending to have PvP titles they didn't earn, and such, when they originally wrote the name rules. This is pretty silly for pets, though, since a lot of popular pet names are titles, like Lady and Duke.

This struck me as pretty stupid too. Apparently it's OK for Blizzard to name a pet Mr. Grubbs or Mr. Wiggles, but not OK if a player does it.

Re: Mr. Grubbs fails the mature language filter
Not exactly, since you can use space there are differences. But ye, I see what you mean, the wow error it throws up are the mature language filter, but I guess they just scrambled alot into that filter to make it easier.Lysi wrote:It's not just an obscenity filter.

Re: Mr. Grubbs fails the mature language filter
I think it's the same with hunter pets, you can have a space or at least a capitol letter in the middle, but otherwise the rules are just like character names.

I had a similar experience with the Adder. I wanted to name my Adder "Black" after the British TV series Blackadder but it says that word is offensive and not allowed.
