Depends on the name. Imagine people would use insult-names in a roleplay MUD.

10 minutes sounds excessive though. Was the prompt not informing you that the name xyz can not be used and you'd have to pick another one? It also depends on the MUD of course - how many names did you try?

I never had a problem picking a proper name for one of my characters, but indeed I hated it when MUDs would want to make me wait for name-approval manually. Most MUDs allowed instant-creation and resume gameplay on the spot though. Weird that the name-choice barrier took you 10 minutes. What was the MUD?
