You are a Cow Druid... a Cowbearcat... how is that out of line??????
Sorry to hear about the name change.. quite lame.
First, I do not agree with this but would like to point out.. the TOS we agree to each patch has a decent amount of guidelines concerning charater names. Many choices of names break their strict rules them but most go without notice unless reported. "Cowbearcat", is a violation becasue it is a fragmented sentence.. or string of words.. basically. Other examples Blizzard gives... 'Inyourface' or 'Welovebeef'. Here is the offical info....

Rules Related to Usernames and Guild Designations.
Each user will either select a character name or allow the Program to automatically select a character name at random. Additionally, users may form "guilds" and such guilds will be required to choose a name for the guild. When you choose a character name, create a guild, or otherwise create a label that can be seen by other players using the Program, you must abide by the following guidelines as well as the rules of common decency. If Blizzard finds such a label to be offensive or improper, it may, in its sole and absolute discretion, change the name, remove the label and corresponding chat room, and/or suspend or terminate your use of the Program.
In particular, you may not use any name:
Belonging to another person with the intent to impersonate that person, including without limitation a "Game Master" or any other employee or agent of Blizzard;
That incorporates vulgar language or which are otherwise offensive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
Subject to the rights of any other person or entity without written authorization from that person or entity;
That belongs to a popular culture figure, celebrity, or media personality;
That is, contains, or is substantially similar to a trademark or service mark, whether registered or not;
Belonging to any religious figure or deity;
Taken from Blizzard's Warcraft products, including character names from the Warcraft series of novels;
Related to drugs, sex, alcohol, or criminal activity;
Comprised of partial or complete sentence (e.g., "Inyourface", "Welovebeef", etc);
Comprised of gibberish (e.g., "Asdfasdf", "Jjxccm", "Hvlldrm");
Referring to pop culture icons or personas (e.g. " "Britneyspears", "Austinpowers", "Batman")
That utilizes "Leet" or "Dudespeak" (e.g., "Roflcopter", "xxnewbxx", "Roxxoryou")
That incorporates titles. For purposes of this subsection, "titles" shall include without limitation 'rank' titles (e.g. , "CorporalTed," or "GeneralVlad"), monarchistic or fantasy titles (e.g., "KingMike", "LordSanchez"), and religious titles (e.g., "ThePope," or "Reverend Al").
You may not use a misspelling or an alternative spelling to circumvent the name restrictions listed above, nor can you have a "first" and "last" name that, when combined, violate the above name restrictions.
