I would assume:
  • Names from popular media. These names can be either fictional (e.g. Rambo, Darthvader) or non-fictional (e.g. Garth Brooks, Pierce Brosnan, George Washington, Michael Jordan).

Phra Paisal Visalo is a RL Buddhist monk.

I don't see why that's "popular" media, though. Paisal Visalo is a writer, but he never wrote anything as famous as Star Wars or James Bond.

I wondered if they applied "Names of religious, occult, or significant historic origin (e.g. Jesus, Allah, Satan, Stalin)." to it, but...this Paisal Visalo dude is nowhere near as famous as Jesus, Allah, or Satan.

Maybe a P99er involved in Thai politics thought it was too politically charged and reported it? Beats me.

OP names his toon after a social engaged monk while playing a 10 year old elf sim.
The universe intervenes.

Pretty sure other players reporting stuff is the main way any names get changed, so yeah.

Of course - but why report this name? I wouldn't have.

^This. Who's gameplay was shattered by some guy's random name? Pretty redank that this wastes a GM's time.

Clearly some kind of vendetta has taken place. No other reason GMs would waste their time and energy on something so utterly stupid.

They really need to define popular.
