Greetings, I would like to “give away” a name, that one of my characters had, to my friend.
I’ve already deleted a character on my account, but it’s still not available to him. How long does it take for such name to become free for all?

When you change a character’s name by means of the character service, it’s 90 days before someone other than your own account can use that name.
I don’t know if deleting a character instead of name changing actually frees up the name as there’s always the self restoration option to undelete a deleted character, but if it did free up the name, I would assume it’s 90 days as well.
Wait, isn’t it 30 days anymore? I remember I’ve heard something like 30 days in regards to names, but wanted to confirm.
Hi there,
You’re actually both correct and the name would be reserved for 30 days following character deletion and most character services, and 90 days following a name change service or transfer to another Battle.net account.
