[Theory] Free name change

[Superdood]

Hey, recently I got a friend to report my name for a free name change, seems blizzard now gives you a name of their choice because the $10 fee.
I was just wondering if you could possibly delete your character, get a friend to make a level 1 with the name of your deleted character, then contact a GM and make up some excuse to get your charatcer back and get a free name change.
To clear it up:
1. Delete character
2. Get a friend to make your deleted characters name on a level 1
3. Contact a GM and restore your character (make up some excuse)
4. Get a free name change because yours is taken?
Not sure if this works, and I apologize if it is a repost, if so I'll delete it.

Theory does NOT work.

The GMs will either change the name on the lvl 1 from "Isuck" to "Isucky" or do the same on the character you deleted.

Anyhow they will not change to what you want!

dnt work they just add another letter to the end of it

[Superdood]

Are you positived? Have you tried it or are you just assuming that would happen, I honestly doubt blizzard would change the name of someone else's character for next to no reason except for the guy just happened to make a level 1 with the same name is the other guy...

Doesn't work, I got hacked and all chars deleted, made a free trial account and used my mains name to contact blizzard, and I asked them when my chars get restored will my main be prompted for a name change, They said they'll put an extra letter on the end.
eg: Akthor - Akthorr etc.

They rename the new (lvl1) char to something like ie change to i, or ad an ´ ` to it's name (German Server)

I saw this when a friends chars get deleted (by a "friend") and he contacted the gms to undo that

wait.. they just add another letter to your name?
Now we can begin thinking of other theories.
whats at the most letters you can have in a wow character name? use it and they add another letter... the longest name in wow?

They Can force a namechange to the other char, they can remove a letter instead of adding one..
