Message: <blockquote data-quote="Robert Ranting" data-source="post: 3195027" data-attributes="member: 28906">A few I've seen in games:Mine:Mitchifer Boozehound - My first D&D character, a drunken cleric of the Church of Hard Liquor and Loose Women. Jackrow Bezling Stymquvf Ph.D. (Druid of Philosophy)- An illiterate Gnome Druid who signed his name with an X, the only letter not actually in his name.   Zardozan- A woodwrack dragon named for the movie Zardoz.  My players:Guro- A samurai-ish Litorian Warmain.  No one in the group knew what it was japanese slang for until after he'd already played the character for a couple sessions.People I've played with:Anubis the Scythe-a Sibeccai (jackal-anthro) fighter, who wielded said weapon. NPCs:Zelaf Flowercrusher- a Spryte Warmain (fighter) with Arnold Schwartzenegger's voice.Pierre Lemonjello- a Paladin from a previous campaign who was mentioned as an NPC.  One of over a half dozen -onjello characters from the same player, most of them currently cannon PCs of that DM's Ravenloft campaigns.***Regarding the advice on naming conventions, I think it's interesting that it advocates not using "The Adjective" surnames for the very reason that it is the standard naming convention for the entire Sibeccai race in Arcana Evolved...arrogance.  Since Sibeccai essentially abandon their children to communal daycare at birth, and their society is based on merit, having a self-chosen adjective is really the only way for them to distinguish themselves.  If it seems arrogant or self-aggrandizing, that's because it *is* and the whole culture is intended to come off that way.***As for real life, there was a 5th grade teacher at my old elementary school named Justin Case, and in my highschool graduating class there was a girl named Jade Green.  Robert "No My Real Name's Not..."
