It varies, but it's basically to prevent copyright infringement and/or offensive names. Things like brand names and swear words, even names that contain these within, are often restricted ("reserved").

Sometimes the names make little sense, like Ragnarok or Jade, but I'm sure Blizz has some vast plan. Still ticked a guy can name his cat P*nis but I can't have Jade.

Yes, I was upset when I realized I couldn't name my green wind serpent Jade. Finally broke down and named it Jãde. What? It's a li'l mini wind serpent, that's all.

Just use an accent.
Quicksilver does not look that different from Quicksílver.
