Restoring deleted character with same name

Is there anyway to restore a deleted character that has the same name as the character that replaced it ages ago and is now at 80?All I can think of to keep the 80 with its name is: delete the 80, restore the low level character and pay for a name change, but then I’d have to wait 7 days to restore the 80 again.Anyone know of any other ways to solve the issue?
