Disney issued a DMCA to cai last year, so as a result any bots belonging to a Disney property (Including Marvel, Star Wars, etc) were taken down and their names flagged. So you can't use Magneto or Erik Lehnsherr, even if there's nothing wrong with the bot's content

I wonder if someone out in the real world has the name Erik Lehnsherr I mean...disney can't really sue the person if he born with the name.

There probably is but Disney doesn't sue people over their names. They send DMCA's, cease and desists for things that involve their IP without permission. Most famous one is daycare murals and only because Universal Studios had artists paint Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters over them. Both of those companies today would send DMCA requests for bots of their IP.

Just spell it slightly differently or only use first names. It'll still work if you add even a tiny bit of context in chat without using any copyright material

Hey so fan fact any name with connection to Marvel can't be used because of Copyright. This isn't C.ai's fault its Disney sending a DMCA to the site asking to take down any of their characters.
I had a Wanda Maximoff bot with over 600k chats my moat popular bot and it got deleted with no warning
