I think you should scrap those stupid 'default' names. The best sign of a noob is to see wether their name is like that.. for example 'Uubygi of Rewoqt' would without doubt be a noob (unless it was an experienced player undercover)

They just sound stupid, and I think most noobs don't realise they can change thier name and their race anyway, seeing as such a large number of new players have these default names.

there is a mechanism behind the default names, that apply to the selected race: if you select mycilloid, you get a mycilloid-like name etc.

there must be a routine to suggest a name, but maybe we can make it more obvious, that you can choose the name on the register page

The link to change your name and everything else is fairly big but doesn't stand out of the colour, so maybe give that link a red colour, it should realy stand out then.
