Thaumaturge
Wandering. Not lost. (He/they)
I wonder what his perspective is? Anyway, it's not just crappy names for dwarves: he generally sucks at names for places and characters as I was reminded of afresh last week when I started looking at what material had been published for Icewind Dale....
My sense is that he thought Dagnabbit was a funny and appropriate name for a dwarf. When TSR gave him a hard time, he made it a goal to sneak ridiculous names past his editor. He told his editor at the time that Pikel was pronounced "pike-el". The editor bought it. And here we are with a green-haired dwarf named pickle.
Naming things is my least favorite part of my own writing. It's surprisingly hard to name things in ways that don't sound ridiculous and sound like they are all from the same (or different) place.
But, yeah, he's a bestselling author, so there's that.
Thaumaturge.
