ZethKur Transfers Name Change Policy?

[Jeddite 9]

The Elysium Project does not offer name changes.  That's fine.

However, I have the in-game name "Jeddite" on a Level 10 Paladin on Anathema, because the name was taken on Nostalrius.

Nostalrius characters transfer to Anathem.  Whoever had the name "Jeddite" on Nostalrius did not transfer to Nostalrius.  So I am unable to rename my characters "Jedditelol" (Alliance-only account) or "Jeddites" (Horde-only account) because name changes are not offered.  So on my Alliance-only account, I make a Level 10 Paladin named "Jeddite."

Fast forward from ... December 2016 ... to June 24, 2017.  With the Zeth'Kur transfers complete, I am not being prompted to rename "Jeddite" (which I can only assume is due to the transfer given the timing of it all), a name I've been in possession of since Anathema launched, but unable to use for one of my "mains" because the Elysium Project doesnt offer name changes.  Again, fine.

What's less than stellar, however, is being forced to change the name because some Zeth'Kur transfer had the name on Zeth'Kur.

Mildly annoying ... since I'd be more than willing to make a donation to change one of my mains to "Jeddite", but now the name is getting jacked because ... reasons.

/wah wah wah (c'mon Pottu ... help me out, bro-guy-dawg -- I expect this situation will occur to other Anathema/Elysium/Darrowshire "Day One" players, too)

Screenshot from #discord.  I guess this is the answer.  Upgraded from mildly annoying to moderately annoying.

Elysium: "We don't offer name changes.  If you want to use a specific name in-game, you'll need to make a new character with the desired name."

** makes new character with the desired name **

Elysium: "If a character transferring from ZethKur has the same in-game name as a character as Elysium/Anathema/Darrowshire is higher level than the character with the same name already on Elysium/Anathema/Darrowshire, priority is given to the ZethKur character.  And we still don't offer name changes."

** sheesh **
