Name changes

For some reason you arnt allowed to have a name that is 2 letters long :S There is no reason why, it just says (in the vip forum) that names must be over 2 letters :( I wanted the name TL but i wasnt allowed to get it changed to that :(.

How strange, there shouldn't be a minimum length, unless you're allowed names with 0 characters :P

That's odd.
I don't see why they shouldn't let you have short names.
There must be a reason, pm the person who says you can't. :)

Some people have 1 number/letter names that i've seen.

It might be hard when searching for them to edit the user or something as if you search in 'name contains' then loads will come up, but 3 letters shrinks that list. I was asking nvrspk for a name change a while back to something with characters which aren't on an american keyboard, and he wouldn't do it for me, yet people had that character in their name but their change was done by Nick- who sometimes forgets they can't and it makes searching for them harder and this is possibly for the same reason.

I believe it's 3 characters as you can't search for less than 3 characters.

There's your valid reason.
Although, it would be nice to be able to change to one/two character names.

That was before the rule was put into place.

A rule of over 2 character name? How idiotic ?:S

You're not :P You can search people with 1 letter names, http://www.habboxforum.com/search.php?searchid=2792047. Its just the ajax thing on the search page doesnt display things untill it gets to past 3 letters.
