Dear WotC - You suck at names.

[Nifft]

All names are bad, because players aren't forced to take any of them seriously.

Personally, I like Mjóthvitnirfane and Hrothgarwyld. Let's use those names instead. Teh awesome!

Cheers,
Cam

I actually did play a dwarf fighter named Hrothgarwyld once.

Not sure if this has been mentioned...
But what about a compromise. Why not have these (to some) lame names be the 'common' name and then have the alternate real name. So the fey one would be some crazy fey sounding name, but the common name would be something simple and pronounceable, for the layman, so to speak.
Just a thought....

 

[pawsplay]

I think Feywild would be better as Feyweald. Has a better sound and looks neat. Of course that's just my opinion.

I just had the same thought.

I'd love to see someone call a place Wetspot sometime.

I'd love to see someone call a place Wetspot sometime.

Wouldn't everyone just try and avoid it?

 

[Lackhand]

That's absurd. IL.

Absurd is a town in Illinois?!
