Yes. I can't recall it working for very long at all.
The one at the character select screen does, at least. (And for anyone interested, "Riptide Nosehair," the name I tested, is available on Infinity.)

Yes, this is correct. The work around is you can create the costume and power colors, save them, back up to the select screen, check names there, when you find one, re-create the character by loading the costume and power colors you saved and you're good to go.

Smurch, you don't lose your costume if the character name is taken in character creation. You just get kicked back to the "pick your name" screen. You can keep trying names until one sticks.
Of course, if you can't think of a good alternative, then saving the costume and loading it later is a great tip.

A few days ago I just rolled another new toon, a Fire/Kin Controller. This is my first Fire/Kin and wanted to build one for some time based on all the hype I kept hearing about this build. Anyways, when I got to the final screen with the bio info, it gives you the option to "check name" first before you enter in the zone. Well, when I kept clicking on this button, it wouldn't give me a response to see if any of the names were taken. I think it just gave me an error message. I ended up doing it the old fashioned way and entered the zone and then just had it kick me back if the name was already in use.
So, has anyone else encountered this problem with this button? Keep in mind I have never used this button before, in fact, that last toon I built was the first time I've ever noticed it before.
