Posted September 2, 2018 I tried to name my dragon with either a - or a ' but the site keeps telling me that I'm not allowed to use those characters. I don't understand why as it specifically says that those are allowed characters..... And it's not a duplicate name either, it's the 'contains several invalid characters' message Share this post Link to post
Posted September 2, 2018 Did you copy/paste from word ? You need to type the characters in by hand. And is there a space at either end of the name - that will always get you a fail. Share this post Link to post

Posted September 2, 2018 Well, when I do it from anything in MSOffice I ALWAYS have to redo apostrophes. Haven't tried a dash.... Has to be worth a try. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 2, 2018 It might also have to do with the device you are using. I've heard about some phones turning your ' into "smart" apostrophes and your - into "smart" dashes. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 2, 2018 I can do that on desktop but it does not allow it on mobile. Are you using mobile when naming with such? Share this post Link to post

I just tested it and it changed the "fancy apostrophes" to normal ones. Share this post Link to post

Posted September 3, 2018 I also think that the special characters aren't allowed to be the first or last character of the name - the name must start and end with a letter. So, e.g Random'Random would work, but 'Random, or Random', or 'RandomRandom' wouldn't, because they all have a special character at the edge. Share this post Link to post
