Character Names in POE1 and POE2

Can we please get some clarification about how character names will work between POE1 and POE2? In light of the recent account system changes with discriminators it would seem that character names will be unique across both games.

It was stated in a previous interview that POE1 and POE2 will share the same Guild chat and guild system. Given this information, it does not make sense that two characters with the same name between games can exist.

Thank you

Would love to know this as well, would be very upset if I were to lose my characters name.

Since people will steal others name out of spite, I hope we get to keep "dibs" on the ones we currently have. At least a chance to claim it in some way for a reasonable time period.
