Still much less than on 13th. Personally I don't need to worry about my names, but I will create them anyways.
I have prepared some alternatives, but really hope mine will not be taken.
Kinda makes me wish we could get barbers - after all, it's purely cosmetic and doesn't influence gameplay at all. I was really happy when barbers got introduced! But I'm fairly certain we won't get barbers in Classic.
You can always "go through" the character creation process during a stress test or online somewhere. That way you know exactly how you want your character to look. Take a screenshot so you have a reference. Then, on the 13th, you just need to quickly click through the arrows and name them. Might take a couple more seconds, but as long as your not trying to get a name like Bob, I'd say you're probably alright.
Challenge accepted.

I’m all for barbers too! It’s the only cosmetic change that won’t influence any other aspect of the game unlike transmog.
If "my" name is taken by the time im done with customizing my priest, i will just pick a different name. No stress, i have a few to pick from.
I'd say that the rule of "deleted characters reserve their name for X amounts of time" would not apply to name reservation for Classic - that would defeat the whole purpose of 3 characters maximum rule (unless there was a massive oversight from Blizz).
