I think it was intentional. Rary, Bigby, Tenser, and all the othes with long names I can't spell are from Greyhawk, which makes them setting specific.

Apparently he never mentioned that to Anthony or Hasbro legal disagreed with Ryan. As I posted to the ogl-d20 list, I don't like it since someone for whom the SRD is unknown going through my book and seeing disjunction in an NPCs spell list is not going to know to go look up Mordenkainen's disjunction in the PHB.Grazzt said:
Very annoying. Can't wait to see what the Quiver of Elhonna becomes when they get to the magic items.

Absolutely. I'm very glad that they released the spells, but this is going to make very significant problems, as players try to cross-reference materials based on this released SRD with materials in the Player's Handbook.
Looking at the SRD (or OGL materials derived from it), there will will be absolutely no way to predict where a given spell is set in the PH, or where to begin looking for it.
I was truly hoping that they would take a Victorian approach and refer to these spells as "B-'s Clenched Fist" and the like in the SRD.

I'm glad...
Personally I have always thought it was a mistake to have proper names on the spells. What if I don't want a mage named Bigby in my campaign? What if I'm running Nyambe? Is there a Bigby in Forgotten Realms?
In fact, I wish they'd take the names out in the next version of the Player's Handbook.

Quiver of Ehlonna, could become a Quiver of holding, or an Extra Dimensional Quiver. Just a thought.
Yours Nikodemos
Except the average player will not equate the two together and will comb through the DMG, perhaps R&R or R&R 2 looking for a quiver of holding. When he can't find it, he'll chalk it up as an error to said company ("They included this magic item, but forgot to detail it.")

What? Me Worry?
Wanna know my guess as to why all the proper nouns were taken out? Because Anthony wanted to get the stuff into the SRD as soon as possible, without getting bogged down with any possible legal wrangling over the names. Dumping them en masse would thereby eliminate that potential impediment. Yeah, maybe somebody said they were OK, but perhaps he decided to take no chances. Another guess is that AV will have stuff added to the SRD on a swifter, more regular basis, to ensure as much as possible is added before any future moves WotC might make.
