After powerleveling inscription, I needed a toon to sell off all these glyphs I made. I have my standard one (Buyoutmystuf) but since this toon is purely selling just glyphs, I named him...
There isn't, but if you extend the back of the B shape down below the curve line like a lowercase j or g or something, you'll get the Greek letter Beta which is a capitalized letter, of similar shape to the eszett.

There is someone named Capitalß on one of the servers I play on. I'm not sure if it is intentional or not.

Although I am as excited as worgen as any non-furry I think it is important to avoid having a name that will be the equivalent of Roastbeef for taurens or Kneecapper for gnomes.
I like how it transliterates the ß to double s on the right side: ØSSLÏVÏØÑ LEVEL 80 BLOOD ELF DEATH KNIGHT
I guess there's no "capital" version of ß.
It's complicated. Traditionally there is only the lower case version but this has caused problems for printers and the like for a long time. Mostly it got changed to SS or SZ. But that sucks when you want to have the correct spelling (for names etc.). So there's lots of non-official capital versions. It's always a topic for discussion in certain scenes (linguists and typographers mainly).
Since 2008 there is a capital ß defined in Unicode so it's usable with some fonts. Then we have the problem that the German keyboard layout has "?" as shift+ß so you can't really type the capital ß without using a crazy key combination that nobody knows. So people either use a lower case ß or SS instead.

No, but there are situations where you need to capitalize an entire name (some legal documents I think), which is pretty much the only time this issue comes up, afaik.

Sometimes text is printed entirely in capital letters, like titles or maybe flyers or something ("BIG SALE" etc). And then there's the style where you have the first letter as a real capital letter and the following letters of the word are smaller capital letters. (I don't know what that is called in English).

What madness goes through someones head when they are sitting at the character creation screen staring at the blank name field?
"I am so cool. People are going to think I'm so cool. This is one of the coolest things to happen in the history of cool things."
"Hey bro, wassup?"
"Oh hey brah, wanna see this character I made? It's tits!"
"Fucking sweet bro. That is so cool!"
"I KNOW RIGHT!?"
"BROHUG!"
"BROFUCK!"
I guess that's what I imagine they think. I knew some guys like this on my lacrosse team. They thought it would be a "cool idea" to put bengay on their genitals before the game. You know, to pump them up for the game. They had to immediately leave to get rid of it.

Wait. Wait a minute. What?
Why? Why would you do that?
Are these the same guys that thought it'd be cool to blow up the only toilet on the floor in a dorm with a stick of m80?

I didn't talk to them in college, but I imagine they were the same guys.

I'm rather smug with myself.
It would take a powerful labia to be a Supreme Defender, yeah.
Anyone making an all-Worgen guild on Moon Guard?
Sad thing is there are 3 other characters that have the same name.
PSN:TheRockingM
How would you even say that?
Ah-suhl-eye-v-eye-ah-nyuh?
I guess there's no "capital" version of ß.
And my worgens will all just be awesome last names - more evocative of the period, I think. Common first name, awesome last name.
Like, Ashmore, Chattoway, Whittock, Kaylock, Sinnet... all great names.
Hopefully they ban me so I can finally quit this game!
Taurenhoof.
no, just kidding. That'd be pretty silly though.
My Worgen Rogue will be named Hargraves for this very reason.
Also, he will be the classiest ninja werewolf ever.

I want to ask that guy if he's a fan of Stephen Lynch.
"Pussy Man! Using my Labia Majora of Justice to thwart crime!"
There's a lot of love for semen on the bloodlust battlegroup.
Durp. Hurp Durp... SuperJizz, HERP! I AM THE DERP!
No, it was taken.
Bronzebeard needed a name for porn.

I get an unreasonable pleasure from pronouncing stupid names like they're spelled.
"Nice name, Ärth-ASS!"
