Deleting Names

Hey Folks,

I've got a little problem. I had squatted on a couple of "Electric" names in anticipation of rolling up a few Elec/Elec tanks once I16 hit. Since just about every name I wanted was already in use, I swapped out a lower case L for an upper case I in a couple of them. Now that 16 has dropped, I went in to delete the name and roll up my new toons. Only problem is, it doesn't seem to be working. The "type the character's name" feature is case-sensitive, so I originally tried typing it in as it appears. No good. Then I tried with the L for I substitution that I used originally. Again, no good, as this results in "ELectric" instead of "Electric" in the proper field. Any suggestions? As it stands now, I purchased three extra slots that are now blocked with these names, and the names are now taken so I can't just use another slot. Any help would be most appreciated,

Log them in, then look at personal info to see exactly how you spelled it out. Maybe you're just overlooking something.

Okay, stupid question first:

You said that you substituted a lower-case L (an "l") for an uppercase I in the names, but then you said when capitalizing the L, it became 'ELectric" instead of "Electric." but, in that case, you weren't substituting the lower-case L for an I, but for an uppercase L. So, I'm very confused. Are you sure that you're making the exact same substitution?

You nailed it Aett...I confused myself, too. I had subbed upper case I for lower case L. Got too cute for my own good and now I feel foolish. Problem solved, thanks for the assist.
