Must have been a really bad name to get a two day ban. No doubt bypassing the naming filter.

well not that really ive seen worse too be honest, even seen swe,norw,danish, ppl having real insults name in there own language as char name, my name was more of an fun, then unproper name, not something any would got offended by tbh,
Non english names generally gets reported a lot less than English names simply because there is a lot less risk of running into someone reporting the names. It also takes a lot more effort for blizzard to look into such reports. Even if you see people with non English names that clearly violates the naming policy, that does not mean it is ok for you to do the same.
well if you find KingJesus is an violated name? 
il find it more of an fun thing but maybe someone got offended what do il know, what shud il name my shammy then too not get it reported, somehow il think more its ppl doing cause getting mad during pvp nothing else cant see that name offending anyone
offensive is subjective and people choose to be offended, blizzard side with very sensitive people and put the bar extremely low
however names like that can probably get you beheaded in certain places

Any kind of religious references is pretty much asking for trouble.

Don’t ask for trouble. Blizzard will gladly hand it to you.

Yes, that name is against the naming rules. Firstly the king part as you can’t have titles and secondly the Jesus part as it’s a religious name. You can argue all you want that it’s not but it is 100%.
To be fair they banned a load of bots last night, they also accidentally caught a load of genuine players using Consoleport, but ya know small steps.
Jesus is a mexican name, appeal the ban, ask for 2 days additional gametime and send them some random passport of a guy named Jesus claiming he’s a king and your inspiration.

Sure, it’s a name common in Spanish speaking countries (not just Mexico…) , but in origin it’s normally referenced to a certain religious figure.
- The king part and being a shammy it was a clear reference to Thrall being the literal green jeebus in wow and Blizz didn’t like ya pullin’ a joke on their storytelling.
Thrallsbaby and Kingjesus are both stupid names and you deserve a ban for that.

what was that name?
Jesus is just a name, there’s tons of them in Spain alone. People are petty.

Jesus is a fine name for a character, meanwhile Kingjesus is a stupid name for a character. In my opinion, this ban is justified.

its a vulgar word.
No, I didn’t.
If you can’t think something original, there’s plenty of random name generators online. I see this is an issue because it’s stupid, like the name of your orc warrior.
My orc name is refering too Thrall in orgrimmar on horde faction nothing odd there
