Name Not Available?

I just deleted an old lowbie character so I could use the same name, but as a different class.

However, after deleting it, I tried to create the new class version of the character, and I am getting "That name is unavailable". I can't imagine within 30 seconds someone claimed that name, though I can't confirm 100%.

Why would I be unable to claim the name I just had, and what can I do about it?

wait server crash, if it is still unavailable it means you need to wait 30 days to use that name again

Well, that sucks. At least the server crash could happen whenever. Thanks for the info.
