O'Ree is offensive?
I tried to use the name O'Ree in WOC and it says it might offend someone or is inappropriate. Why is this? Since Willie O'Ree was the first Black in the NHL, I can't see how or whom his name would of...
Regardless of whether the name is offensive or not, if it is filtered, you will need to choose something else.
Thanks.

Thanks.
But why is it so black and white? How does nobody see how ridiculous that is, and more importantly, how does nobody care or even want to correct it?

Oh ok, good talk. Would expect nothing less.

It's become a game at this point. There's no good reason to block that last name, or any other normal first or last name.
They do it to prevent people from making sneaky naughty names to get around their filter system.
And the more ridiculously strict the filter gets, the more people "play the game" and come up with new ones.
Before you know it "John Smith" will be offensive.
One example.. I saw a name last year "Big Black Clock"
Gave me a chuckle, thought it was funny and kinda clever.
Try making that name this year, you can't. Why? Because they made the word "clock" offensive.
This silly game will continue until they just give up and give you a drop down list of pre-selected EA approved names.
