Octoburn 2024: Choosing Region Names

Curiouser & Curiouser

As we look ahead to our virtual "big Burn" event we call Octoburn, set for October 18-27, we think on the art theme, "CURIOUSER & CURIOUSER, which "embraces the irrational and the absurd, and invites the unknown over for tea."

We got some great suggestions! We look forward to seeing which ones you like. Burners, choose your favourites! And as you think about your choices, make sure they are consistent with these naming guidelines from Linden Lab®:

  • Cannot be a name that is already being used
  • Length up to 19 characters, including spaces*
  • Two words or less
  • Only alphanumeric characters
  • Cannot use the name of a real life city
  • Cannot use SL, Linden, Linden Lab, Second Life, etc. in the name
  • Must be suitable for general audiences**
  • No real person's name
  • Must not violate any trademark right, copyright or other property right
  • Vulgarity is NOT permitted (this includes obscenities in any language however spelled; racist, sexist or otherwise derogatory in nature)
  • Deadline: 11PM SLT Monday, the 5th of August.

*The full name of each region will be prefixed with "BURN2 " so the 19 character limit keeps the name length in compliance with the "less than 26 characters" requirement from Linden Lab.

**While the Octoburn regions will be Moderate rated, the names must comply with the General maturity rating standard.

The Burn2 planning committee reserves the right to alter a name or select a different name, in the event the Lab staff ask us to do so.
