I would follow the suggestion of Darko and just change the user name.
Her is an example of a real persons name that would just never fly as a gamer name:
Just because it is their actual name does not mean that it should be used as a game tag on the forum or in the games.

Again the points I made are being lost here.
If that's your name, and you supply proof, yeah I think a manual override should exist if you so desire to put your account name as that.. But honestly, I sorta tire of these examples such as having a last name Gaylord, or * Van * as your username (which by the way I see some of those words used in games all over the internet) those are quite clear reasons why some censorship might be used, but again, I'm referring to a specific name or word, Spirit, not obvious ones..
My main point in case is, these rules should be reviewed, and manual overrides should be a thing where applicable. It would be a simple submit an ID with a photo of you holding it with your face clear, scan the photo for matching words, if unclear trigger manual approval which feeds it into a quick ticket request for a human to approve, once approved either automated or by a human, the name could be greenlit. The same process could be done for brand names ect.
These types of features exist all around the globe, so implementation is not really that difficult.
Also I have modified the name already, I was simply following the steps that were told to me by Support, Darko has stated he will submit the feedback and I have already pinged accept as an answer.

It might not be a total fix, but you can just download and play Apex Legends from Steam. That way you can just use any username you really want. Valve is much easier on user's for names. You just click the profile and change your name, you can do it as much as you like as well.
Please do understand even if steam lets you type what you want for a user name it still shows up when you play on EA and if it is against the rules it could still be actioned on.
With that in mind I would not want to be the one that gives people false information and or information that could get people into trouble.
Community ManagerI'm going to go ahead and lock this now as there's a lot of speculation and incorrect info being shared.
We will pas the feedback on.
