Getting Names Reserved Fast?

Is anyone who played in CB concerned they might lose their name when OB or Retail Launch starts?

It would really piss me off if I played with a certain name for entire Beta and then lose it to someone else.

Just for that reason Im buying the Game when it comes out first day. Going to Load it up and fill all my character slots with chars just so I can reserve the names.

I have typed out my planned characters including several alternative names so even if one is taken I doubt they all will be taken.

What is in a name that makes you love it so?
Is it due to identity?
Is it due to want?
Is another name problematic?
Or is it spastic?
All in all what truly is in a name,
Especially when that thing does not exists….

Most people come up with simple names. Although a good number of names will be nerfed thanks to blizzard's naming policy.

I had no problem picking my name and no has my name on the closed beta servers.

You want people you played with for 6 months or so (longer for others) to recognize you on release.

And they can't by another name??
I would think a simple /tell or e-mail would fix that.
