Doesn't have to be like that.
City of Heroes lets you pick whatever you like, BUT, there are words
that are filtered and cannot be used, and any name that doesn't run foul
of the filters but is offensive will be noticed eventually and become
"Generic ###############" 

The Chronic example above could exist, but not the other two.

Are WoW and other MMOs really that lax in naming scheme?
