What about someone named after a person in a music band? Shouldnt they have their name removed?

The whole concept of "names should not be a phrase" is about as non-roleplaying an idea as you can possibly conceive. It is only in the recent history of humanity that names became a jumble of Firstname-Surname combinations.
Look at the American Indians, for example. They didn't have names that translated to "Bob Smith". Until recently, surnames were based upon job occupation, and were not handed down via parental lineage. Exceptions were surnames like Johnson, which literally mean "Son of John". Names that form phrases, names that describe the role of the toon, and names that show a recognizable lineage are as RP as you can possibly get. GMs who wave the name-change hammer are either hopefully clueless, or, more commonly, merely jackasses on a power trip. And yes, I have had my toons' names changed by GMs on Sony servers. A lot. Once, due to a huge backlash from the community, Sony had to amend the name policy rule to specifically include my old name in the list of unacceptable names. (I can point out the name in the amended policy, and show where that name was not in the printed policy just a few weeks prior). Every single time a guide changed my name they did so on behalf of a friend of theirs who had an axe to grind. And, every single time they did that, Sony stood behind their guides -- right or wrong. | ||

I don't know how you could make this any more clear than has already been made. Just because Schadenfreude is a German word doesn't mean it isn't also an English word. But since you're having a hard time understanding, I'll provide some more examples of shared German and English words: angst kindergarten sauerkraut aspirin blitz flak would you like me to go on, or are we finished here? | |||

then i ask you, why do you need to call your self like a word? Why do people see the need to call them selfs "iamthebigest andbestmotherfucker"? Just pick NAMES use your imagination, or the freaking random generator ... but dont get butthurt if a GM changes your name because its against the naming policy if you choose words / phrases / titles as your name ... quite simple

Just because a word is used in another language, does not mean it belongs to that language, as stated in wiki schadenfreude is merly a loanword, and it does NOT belong into the english language ...
all the ones you named are GERMAN words, just because you use them in english does not mean they are english words .. i dont claim that whenever i use "shit" or "fuck" that those are german words, just because i and millions others use them on a daily basis ...
