I have run in to this problem so many times it's just getting annoying. See, my name is Conner (a misspelling of Connor) and I first ran into this problem on PSN. Anything having my name would lead to the thing telling me I can't use that name, I tried numbers, underscores, and about everything else to no avail. Recently it happened to me with GTA: CW so I then had to change my name on the DS.  A few days ago it also happened with The Conduit. So I was just wondering, why does this happen?

Someone please ban this guy on VGChartz... You should be ashamed of yourself!

OMG it's a Conner. What nerve...

LOL I've never heard that as a bad word before.

Keep the thread pg13 please, you don't have to use that word in here
thread lock

so wait, it's because of the word 'con'? as in conman?

in french, "connard" which is pretty much pronounced Conner, means idiot but in worse. Can't see them blocking your name for that though...

Come to think of it "con" and "conne" are french insults as well...

Somebody should ban this sick filth.

but do you really think the American versions of the games would ban a french insult?

Anyways, urban dictionary comes to your aid once again.
