I'm trying to change the name of a player and it says the first name is invalid. Why?

i've found that it only lets you choose from the names that are in the database. So type few of the first letters and it will list all the names allowed with those letters. I guess it deters people from making nasty player names.

I think Biff Tannen is perfectly reasonable name! I even tried Biff Howard Tannen, since that's more official and Bifford Tannen.

i think i remember JDB saying he used the most common names data base for the listing of the accepted names. Maybe Biff didn't make the cut even though Back to future was so popular :)

You are restricted to use names in the database, which contains the top 1,200 first names and 88,000 last names in the US 2000 census - there is no first name "Deacon" or last names 'Lastik' or 'Bertier'. The best way to pick a name is to start typing what you are wanting and see what comes up in the autofill.
