What a stupid rule, legit feels like some sort of "cultural appropriation" leftist nonsense lol. As someone else stated literal in game NPCs that are Barbarian / Human use it, the Barbarians with the kilts / names have a Scottish / Irish design and apostrophes are incredibly common in those names.

I know in classic you could do any name as long as it wasn't " the' soandso". As "the" in surnames were only given to event winners.

That's not at all true: punctuation might have been allowed, but non-fantasy, real world-referencing names were not. At least half the names allowed here wouldn't have been allowed on live (we just don't have the paid staff to sit and validate names).

I mean you couldn't do "cock'sucker". But you could do anything as long as it wasn't The'xxxxx. My surname during classic was "Of'Grobb".

They were going to do that for my barbarian, so it's definitely not elves only. They probably want your surname to be thematic at least though
Umlauts, the custom content we need.
