I'm glad it doesn't imply that then :p

Nevertheless, it worries me a bit. At some point we want to be able to 
teleport between grids right? Surely the people will want to have the
same name (and shape) after they teleported in most cases.

If the same first_name+last_name is only unique per grid, then
people will (have to) start fights about names: one has to register
the same first_name+last_name on every grid you want to use.

The make a long story short: they same wars and trouble will immerse
as are happening on IRC now: too many people in a too small namespace.

At some point there will come the strong demand for a "nick serv",
some central point where people can reserve their name for every
large grid on the planet and claim for themselves (for example, to
stop forms of impersonations). That would be 'hack'.

I think we have to seriously think about this. Perhaps there is a
better solution than 'first name / last name' to login ;).
