1. Why do the guidelines exist?
The sole purpose for having guidelines for this matter is that we do not want to put forth a bad image when dealing with the public. For example, if a good number of the Guild members' psi names are relating to aristocracy positions, the public may think that there is a monarchy in place within the Guild. This is not the case. (Yes, that was a joke. ;) So, we need to make certain that the public understands this without going too deep into our documents. In addition, if many members have names which are in part the same as one another, this could create confusion in the form of mistaken identities.
2. How to use this document.
Read the guidelines. Choose your name in accordance with the guidelines. If you are not clear on something in the guidelines, ask. "There are no stupid questions, only stupid mistakes". Make sure you keep up to date with any changes in the guidelines. Names chosen prior to alterations in this document will be "grandfathered in". (This means that the person will not have to change their name).
3. The Guild guidelines for choosing a psi name.
In the event that a member chooses to use a pseudonym, it is required that the member does not use titles, including but not limited to, Lord, Lady, King, Queen, Earl, Prince, Princess, Count, Countess, Baron, or Baroness, as the first word in their name. This is null of the member in question holds such a title legally. In such event, the member in question must provide proof of this claim. Titles within other organizations which are not legally held titles do not qualify. Members may use their rank within the Guild as a title if they wish. Members are also asked to refrain from using titles as a secondary portion of their name. Please do not play "musical names". Pick one, and stick with it. If you undergo some radical life change, and feel you MUST change your name, we will add a procedure by which you may apply to do this, at a later date. If you have any further questions on this matter, or require clarifications of the requirements stated above, please
