Choose display name?

Ok, this is a bit harder than I thought.
I wanted to buy Guild Wars 2 expansions with the current sales, and linking it to my current GW1 account. But the GW2 registration site disallowed me to register a new GW2 account using my GW1 account e-mail address.
I was able to log into https://account.arena.net with my GW1 account details and purchase GW2 and it's expansions from there. But I did not get the option to choose a GW2 display name and was assigned a random one instead.
Is there any way I can get a normal UserName.1234 style display name instead of this monstrosity?

That display name is a bug that seems to happen to a few people. Support should be able to fix it for you. You will need to submit a support ticket and request assistance.

Thanks. I submitted a support request there.
Support fixed the issue for me. Thank you.
To anyone who wondered what my display name was before the change: Something like ABC12EFG-3H4I-JK56-7LMO-PQR8ST9UVWXY
Time to go find some shinies.
Yes, occasionally it will assign the computer UNID. Not sure what triggers that, though.
