How inappropriate are these names?

I've been thinking of creating a new Elementalist in Prophecies just for the hell of it. I've thought of few names but I'm not certain on their likeliness to get reported by others and receive a temporary ban. For such reasons, I'd like for some forum goers with experiences regarding inappropriate name bans to give me some feedback. Here are the few I've thought of:

My Wand Up Yours
Magic Wand Yielder
Three Inch Wand
Seymour Uranus

Currently, I'm thinking 'My Wand Up Yours' would be the safest as it doesn't really have a sexual connotation. Well, maybe it does in a certain way, but it's not how I would utilize it in interactions with other people.

You can get banned for having any name, offending or not.

Brawling Headbutt = banned. ([brawling headbutt])
Sadistic Signet = banned ([sadist's signet])
And a few other beyond ridiculous ones that are not offensive in any way shape or form. There is no name you can be safe with. You can really only hope you don't get to feel ANet's unjust oppression yourself

Anet is gay. They ban for every little thing that happens. If someone reports you, they temp ban. They should put on the box "no kids allowed" or "no sensitive people allowed".

something like that.

Magic Wand Yielder would probably be your safest bet.

Any thing that could be taken out of context. Bannable.
I had "Imma Pwnstar" asked a few people then deleted it.

Why would you make a character with a name that could get you temporarily banned anyways?

The easiest solution of not getting reported for an offensive name, is to come up with something that isn't immature such as the names you've stated.

Name a character Combibo Meus Gallo.

It means "Suck My RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO" in Latin, but the average player won't know that, and most likely neither will ArenaNet.

Or something to that effect.

Hm, how about 'Did You See My Wand'?
I think it's rather subtle and maybe it can pass as a parody for that Asura in Rata Sum always looking for his staff.

I'd report #1 and #4 without a second thought. #3 is borderline. #2 wouldn't even phase me, since, without it being in the context here, I wouldn't even think that it meant anything beyond the weapon that the character uses.

Call me a prude if you want, I don't care.

General answer: if you think you may get banned for it, you will.
