Can I use the name of my character if I pay to change it to something else?

If I pay for a name change, can a new character use the name that I changed from?

Example

Character one is named Apple
Character one changes name to Orange

Can character 2 use name Apple?

Also, will you guys announce when you are deleting deleted character name reservations? That way people could use them when they are removed.

Greetings @Exxos

Thank you very much for bringing up your current problem to the table and I do apologize about the unexpected experience you had within your play-through.

You cannot use the same character name for an alt, in fact there can’t be another char with the same name in a single region.

Furthermore the name of a char deleted will remain usable for window of 60 days, once that period passes anyone can use it, meaning that LA does not count with any name reservation system.

I hope this information granted has been provided you gives a great and helpful insight.

What I meant was, if I name change Apple to Orange, will Apple now be available?

Also, I was not referring to reserving a name, but just knowing when it will be available ahead of time so people can be ready to claim the name they want.
