I keep my pves to a limit of no more than 4, so this way.....whenever I get tired of a name that I made on a pvp chara, I can always delete>make a new name

But back to the OP, yeah, I have regretted on names, lots of times.

Considering it takes me more than 30 minutes to name a character, I'd say no. Same goes for campaigns.

Name... yeah, sort of, but not as much as hairstyles.

Oh my god. I hate my main's hairstyle so much, but I love playing her equally as much... Plus she's like two years old with a load of titles. I just RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing hope Anet are amazing and put in a barber. I would buy like 5 copies of GW2 if they did that. x_x

It annoys me that my characters are all different heights. I made my dervish too short and my ele too tall, because silly things like that bug me. I sometimes wish I didn't name my ranger "Orion Pax" because there are a gazillion other players with the name Orion-something. What I don't get is how people can actually misspell words in their characters names and not realize, or even worse, name their toons something as uninspired as "Balthazar Dervish", "Assa killer" or "Illlllll Illllllll Illlll".

I made a paragon with a funny name for the Nightfall preview/beta event thingy. I was going to delete her... But I didn't, I played on, and after a while I started regretting the name. I changed my mind again, though, I like it now. She bears it well, after all.

I regret most of my character names. =\ Campaigns, however, I don't.

Only one of my characters, called "Asura".

¬¬X... It was named right before Nightfall, before Eye of the North was even announced.

No to either. I always put way too much thought into my character names and generally they don't suck.

The campaigns are nice because you don't HAVE to finish them one at a time. When I got bored with Factions I jumped into Nightfall, then trotted back through Prophecies. I still haven't actually completed any of them, but I'm not bored.

I've tried to get my account banned by having lots of people report me for Inappropriate Name, so that I could change it when I got back.

It was unsuccessful. At least ANet didn't ban the ~50 people that reported me.

Making a dervish with 'Scythe' in the name... Plus for extra lameness using 'z' as a plural... I felt so pre-teen and desperate... So after playing him through most campaigns and getting Vabbian and other elite armours, I bought an extra slot and remade him with a decent name. XD

I'm the same in both ways. I put a fair amount of thought into my characters' names (this is a great way to find names for characters) so that I won't get sick of them or dislike them. I mean, I'm a roleplayer. I'm used to the idea that a name will just 'click' with a character. I follow the same idea even in GW.

And I'm the same with the campaigns :P Haven't finished any of them yet, just having fun jumping back and forth between them all doing various things as the fancy strikes. It's fun, a lot more fun than simply running straight through everything.

I love my names.

Campaigns: Factions. I hate HATE this campaign. Every mission is just rush rush rush and the map layouts are just plain retarded. Only thing I liked about this campaign were the awesome pets. Everything else just blows fat beached whale junk.

Campaigns, no.

Names... plenty.
Started out giving my first and main character a German name. Soon after I realised that, no matter how cool it sounded, it wasnt really worth the constant bugging by German people wanting to know if I'm German... lol. My own fault, I know...

Then I started using names based on rune words from D2, which I really do like...

Campaign no, names yes. Would change the names on both my war and my sin (my mains) if I could. I do think about remaking them with better names but then I'd lose all the money I've spent on them so far.

Names, no. All characters in any given campaign have the same last name, so it makes naming new toons a lot easier.

Campaigns, hell yes. I regret starting any toons in Prophesies. Sure, you can get to LA and go elsewhere, but you're looking at a major PITA to get your attribute quests... this is why I don't monk.

I'm upset that I got kinda lazy with the naming once I got Factions.
My first three chars had last names that corresponded to their classes (Heartsaver Mo/, Cadman W/, Highwind E/) then I started giving every character the same last name.
Looking at it now, its kinda saddening, but with chars pushing 2 years, I'm not gonna delete just to rename.

Names: All the names I dont like that I currently have, those characters are now storage characters

Names yes def. I wish there was an option to rename your character. I tend to delete the character and make it again for the name and the looks. It becomes tedious after a while

Names, no. With only a couple exceptions, the names actually mean something.

Hairstyles, only on one. The style I wanted had major clipping issues at the time, and I was too impatient to wait until Anet got around to fixing it, so I used another style. I really do not like it, but I'm not going to 'retire' her now!

Campaigns, yes. I loathe Factions (Kaineng and surroundings, actually. The rest isn't all so bad, I guess.). If it weren't for certain skills only available there, I'd likely not visit much.

Campaigns, nope.

Names, not really. I take a while coming up with names. Sometimes though I almost wish I would have given them a common last name or something, but I do like the names I've given them so I can't complain.

Hairstyle...lol. I redid my para for that reason and it dying (was going for survivor). My derv I wish I would have picked a different hairstyle. My other chars I'm content with.

I do regret some of the names I use. You can always think of a sweet new names. The Campaign not very much because you can easily switch between them. If anything I would regret a characters look or name.

Going through Prophecies and Factions in the days before heroes really, REALLY sucked.

Also, it should really be Blue Arrow Kurenai, damn it. And I think my derv's last name should be "Falcarius" rather than "Falcaris".

:O I love that name
I make char names that make me laugh, Like my Rt is called 'Whats a Rt Lol', and my Sin is called 'Sas Qwatch Frase'.

After they reach lvl.20, i closly look at the name and start giggling to myself. Sounds sad eh.., hmm, i'm going off subject, I never regret Char names.

Campaigns. YES

I don't know about you guys but i can't stand the start of NF. Its so boring, but i'd love to get into, so therefore, i've never made a char thats started in NF or gone from another campaign to NF.

campaign no, character's name definitely. style wise, argh, i want to change them all. not that they are not nice, but after 2-3 year, its starting to be boring. everyday looking at the same old face with the same old hairstyle etc ... tweaking of the characters "looks" may prolong the game :P~
