Man, you guys would eviscerate me for the on the nose names I use in my Mothership game.

Although since I don't have any Brits in my game, I think the starship Doherty and mining colony Cargill-84 probably got past them. It does make naming stuff easier if you just use the influences as the sources for names in-game.

Man the stick I'd get for Cargill-84 lol! At least you dropped the S to disguise it slightly!

I once made up the name "Agadir" for a major dragonborn antagonist (not quite badguy) in my D&D campaign only to find out a week or two later that it was the name of a city in Morocco and the way I found out was using the tube (the underground train) and seeing gigantic billboards with the name very prominent in virtually every station I went through. I killed him off much sooner than intended because I grew tired of the comments ("He doesn't seem very 'sunny' to me!" "He's not fun to visit at all!" and so on).

Also my worst superhero game naming - "The Dark Adept" for like a mystical assassin-type. Seems fine right? He didn't make it through his opening speech before one of the players blurted out "The Dork Inept!" and they would refer to him as nothing else! I never felt so much like one of my villains was being metaphorically crammed in a locker when he lost the combat with them lol.
