Toontown rejecting certain Toon Names?

[Queen Raven Rockenscooter]

This really got me aggrivated when I was trying to name a brown dog I made yesterday. I was trying to name her "Chasin D. Tail". However, when I went to type it in the Type-A-Name Box and submitted it, I would get a message stating that "Sorry, that name will not work."

I just found this situation odd because I have 2 toons that have names like this (Starr E. Nite and Pup P. Proof). Why did they reject my name? It must have had something to do with the "D." in it because they accepted "Chasin Dtail". Why would Toontown do this? It even states in the Type-A-Name that they would like creative, non-Disney names.

So the question remains open, Why would Disney do this? They say they want creative names but, Are they not allowing us to make them anymore?

If you are getting an automatic reject - try removing the ".". Usually if you get an autoreject it has more to do with the way you typed it, rather than what you typed. It takes longer for them to look at it and decide that the name is not okay.

As to why they do it, who knows. Little Sudsey McBubble was rejected, but Sudsey McBubble was okay *shrug*

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. When I tried making my last toon, they rejected Baby Colonel Jake Wackynose, and I tried taking off names. They finally accepted Baby. There was one name I also tried that got through, but was not accepted, forget what it was. But yeah, I think they do auto-reject a lot.

It could be that they automatically reject "tail" as a standalone word. I tried to register the online name I use almost everywhere "Pants Dailyon" and it was immediately rejected. I assumed it was because they automatically reject the word "pants". Just a guess.

That'd be my guess, too.

[Top Purr]

Yes...It seems.

I tried making an uber toon, and I wanted to name it...


Purr N Like Craze

It wasn't even allowed I guess.

Purrfecto got rejected too!

Me wanted to create a piggie named Prosciutto Pancetta. But Disney name scruitinizers rejected it. Me guesses they don't speak Italian, or never had Prosciutto or Pancetta. Meanwhile there be other piggies running around named Ham, or Bacon.

Don't they know that Prosciutto means ham and Pancetta means bacon?

The rule is no foreign words or phrases. I'm guessing it doesn't matter whether they know what it means.

[spidertardis]

no, if you look in your welcome pack section d it tells you all the name rules, that wont work cos it inoproapriatly uses dots '.' so try one without dots e.g. ivanna bea rockstar

[Big Coconut]

They autorejected a name I made with "Bone" in it, they might have done that for "Tail". Maybe they don't want people to notice and revolt that toons have no tails!!

I've never had any of my names regected, normally because I use the names given most of the time.

To Melody McBubble:

And they regect toon names because of anything that might lead to a misunderstanding or goes against their policy. Like Toontown's developers said, they might exept some that slip through and are bad, but they never catch it, or they might reject normal names for no reason other then it slipped through them. Toontown has a heavy population in each international server for Toontown so they are very busy with the game, that names aren't a big deal to them at some points of time.

Any name can be rejected or accepted due to the fact that it either goes with or against the Walt Disney Co. policies(Disney Interactive/Disney's Toontown Online/Other games policy/guidelines).

I've seen plenty of names with dots in them. Initials with dots after each, middle initial with a dot... If it autorejected because of a dot, it would always autoreject for dots, wouldn't it?

All the official rules for names are at the website listed below:

[Treehouse]

Toontown is very strict on names because they'd like to keep Toons as safe as can be because Disney owns Toontown and Disney strives and is well known for their safety for children on online games/websites they own or aquire. But, like I said before, many names slip through for no apparent reasons.
