I, too, wish people would be a bit more creative with character names and put at least a
little
thought into it. Honestly, there have been times where I've stumbled upon, in my opinion, a rather good name using the WoW Randomizer. If I don't like the spelling, I'll change a letter or two, but usually, the name that comes up works for me. Some examples are:
Essany
for my Worgen mage,
Rannan
for my Dwarf Shaman and
Warwin
for my Worgen Hunter. I have also come up with my own names for characters as well. My Worgen warrior, for instance, I named
Strýke
, after a character in a book I thoroughly enjoyed and I had a rogue that I had named Stryphe. I'm just tired of seeing people running around with names like "Supakilla" and "Pwninyou". Get creative, use your brain for something other than keeping your head balanced. You may actually get compliments on your creativity. Try it.

Get an RPG name generator and get an RPG name.
Hate people called like the above. Idiots. Pure, plain idiots. Also, such names are against Blizzard naming policy:
In general, categories of poorly chosen names include:
* Racial/Ethnic/National
* Extreme Sexuality/Violence
* Sexual Orientation
* Obscene/Vulgar
* Harassing or Defamatory
* Blizzard Employees
* Inappropriate
* Advertising
* Trademarks
* Pure Gibberish
* Contain "Leet" or "Dudespeak"
* Titles (Does not apply to Guild or Pet Names)
* Real World References
* Partial or Complete Sentences (Does not apply to Guild Names)
Some Examples of names that
cannot
be used include:
* References to human anatomy or bodily functions
* Names consisting of any alphanumeric character not normally found on a standard 101/102 key keyboard (O§iri§, Ÿelena, Jašon)
* Are references to illegal drugs or activities.
* Have neutral or positive racial/ethnic/national connotations
* Have neutral or positive connotations of major religions or religious figures (i.e. Jesus, Christianity, Buddha)
* Includes names of World of Warcraft realms, zones, or names of major characters from Warcraft lore
* Strings of letters which do not produce a pronounceable name (i.e. Asdfasdf, Jjxccm, Hvlldrm)
* Language existent only in online communication (i.e. Roflcopter, xxnewbxx, Roxxoryou)
* Any title prefix attached to a character's name (i.e. Kingmike, Presidentsanchez)
* References to very well known people, characters, places, or icons (i.e. Britneyspears, Austinpowers, Mcdonalds, Georgewashington, Newyork)
* Multiple (generally more than 2) words strung together to create partial or complete sentences (i.e. Inyourface, Welovebeef, Howareyou)
I will ticket every single one of you. I dare you.
Even me? I thought the names I came up with were fine. Also, how progressed can one get when they're busy ticketing everyone's name? Just kidding~ As for names themselves, unless you're on an RP server and are a complete lore/RPG freak, it's unlikely people will stop using offensive/uncreative names. I try to base my characters off of interesting things such as film, music, and quotes. I.E. "Soylentgrey" is from WC3. "Theßride" for my undead rogue just because of that awesome hairstyle. "Tinaturner" because she's flippin' awesome and the female trolls have this silver hair style that's just perfect for her! Stuff like that. :3
P.S. As for the rule about you not suppose to be able to use any "special" characters, ø, ù, ect, I don't like to complain, but when Blizzard limits the amount of characters you can use (11), it makes it a bit hard, especially when someone has the perfect name, is on your server, and even worse, is on your faction. Worst of all, people make these characters under lvl 10 that they never level up (besides bankers) which are stuck with that name for all time until deleted or the account is perma-banned.
P.P.S. Without a sense of humor, life, and people in general, will make you go bananas.

You can ticket GMs to have sub-level 10 characters without recent play history deleted to pick up the names.
Living proof is my warlock on Blackrock-US:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/blackrock/woman/
And if your name is already taken, maybe it wasn't as creative as you thought and you should think of more names. :)
Come to think of it, maybe I should level that warlock...
I'd go on armory and search to see how many people have the name and on what servers. Generally, the names I picked for my characters were few and far inbetween. Hell, I'm the only one with a character named "Rerolwarrior" last I saw (albeit I hate the name), which goes double for my old huntard, Enginsteer. Still, you've brought up a good point... Which sucks for me because I haven't been playing in months. More than likely, people have done that to my characters. D:
