EA Name Filtering Potential Issue

I've recently been trying to update my EA ID to the same name I use for every other platform, "Komfer", but no matter how much I add to the name, it is still being blocked by what I believe is a naming filter. I'm not entirely sure why that would be flagged as inappropriate or against EA policy. I've had no other issues with the name on other platforms, so this has to be something EA specific. I've already reached out to an advisor, and they directed me to make a post about it here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If a username is not accepted then the best thing to do is try another till you find one that is accepted. 

    There are millions of EA accounts so many names are already taken.

    Hey Darko,

    I've tried adding numbers, letters, etc all around the name. Komfr is fine, but Komfer is being blocked. The only issue i can find is it having an "er" at the end and for some reason that's flagged. Definitely related to a name filter/blocker put in place that seems to be targeting non-offensive names as well.
