EA ID: Nickname contains a prohibited word or character + useless support

Hey there I know it was already discussed but I still don't know what to do.

I'm trying to set my nickname, tried website, tried app, just getting, error that it contains prohibited word

My nickname everywhere is Tonoslav and I don't know what is prohibited on that (maybe slav is similar to slave, i don't know but its just a name without any hidden meaning)

Tried to contact support but wait times are unlimited, I went sleep after 3 hours wait and woke up to this response: 
"Thank you for contacting EA HELP, my name is Anurag, may I start with your first name please? ( 7h 15m 59s ) Anurag: Nice to meet you, I hope you're doing well today. How can I assist you? ( 7h 16m 2s ) Anurag: We sincerely apologize for the wait in getting connected. With the recent launch of EA Games Beta, we've been experiencing a high volume of inquiries. We truly appreciate your patience and cooperation, it means a lot to us. ( 7h 16m 17s ) Anurag: Thank you for being here, and we're excited to help you with whatever you need! ( 7h 18m 31s ) Anurag: It looks like you might be away from your keyboard. Just checking in—are we still connected? ( 7h 18m 35s ) Anurag: This chat will close in 1 minute. If you'd like to continue, simply start typing. If the session ends, no worries—you can restart the chat anytime, and your case details will be passed along to the next advisor to help you seamlessly. ( 7h 20m 20s ) Anurag: I'm sorry, but it seems like you have stopped responding. If you have any more questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out again. Have a great day!"

They won't even read my message

What can I do? Am I stuck with this amazing name 8nv9gqb80v84 forever?

Also cannot set my phone but I know it will be even more difficult with this "useful" support

Sorry for being salty but how this company can work like this.
Just outsourcing support to India where probably some human read FAQ and reply with anything to close the case with no solution to this, in my opinion, easy to solve problem
