FROM THE LINDENS: Goodbye Jennnnna Jameson



I just received this email today :(

Dear Jennnnna,


We are contacting you about your use in Second Life of the name and identity of the celebrity Jenna Jameson.


We ask that Second Life residents respect the rights of celebrities in their name and identity.  We would ask that you stop using the names Jennnnna Jameson and Jenna Jameson within Second Life, we would also ask that you stop using photos or images of the celebrity Jenna Jameson.


Within the next two (2) days, please either reply to this email or submit a Support ticket (http://support.secondlife.com/), to the attention of Harry Linden, and please provide us with:


(1) A new first name for your Second Life avatar, and 
(2) A new name for your Second Life group named "Jenna Jameson."


Your new names must not infringe or be confusingly similar to the name Jenna Jameson.  For example, the name Jennasis Jameson would not be acceptable.  
Please also remove all photos and images of the celebrity Jenna Jameson and any other uses of her identity.


If you do not do so, we will disable your access to Second Life until you contact us with appropriate new names for your avatar and group.  We will also remove all photos, images, and other uses of Jenna Jameson's identity if you do not do so.


Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this matter.


Sincerely,


Harry Linden


I thought the note was nice enough by Harry, and I do not want anyone to be mean to him if you write the Lindens.

I am sad though and I will ask to keep my name.

In the meantime if you have suggestions for a new name, leave it in the comments please.

Thanks.


Love,

Jennnnna (for one more day)

    At least they didn't ask you to delete your blog.

    I'd suggest Fanny Hill for a name, it dates from a book from the 1700's, so nobody will be objecting to a tribute. Or Cleopatra would be good... ( Cliopatra?)

  4. I am so sorry for you Jennnnna :(
    I can't imagine how hard it must be to get such an message, but at least they are willing to give you a new name, rather than just deleting you without no warning.
    I think that the suggestions from Anonymous is nice (actually, first time Fanny Hill was mentioned was in a book called "Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure" back in 1748!)
    If i should suggest a name, it would be Inara Serra (a character from the television serie 'Firefly'), just because i like the name.
    I hope things work out for you Jen :-)

  5. Sorry to hear JJ!

    What about mixing two famous pornstar names? Like become Jenna Patrick, or Sunrise Jameson?
