WotLK Deleting character and name taken

[Derkath95]

Hello everybody.
I recently created a lvl 1 Warlock with a name i particularly like. Now, I'd like to reroll the character as a Mage but keeping its name, but I already have had negative experiences about since -after deleting- the name still resulted taken.
Anyone can tell me how to overcome this? Thanks in advance.

Usually it is because it may not have been completely deleted. Wait for a few hours and try again. A server restart / crash might help too.
