[QUOTE="Paladin, post: 1486269, member: 263"] Just this past weekend I met some folks who'd named their daughter after a very famous D&D character from Dragonlance. We were having an Easter get-together with some of our friends from Cub Scouts and they had invited their extended family as well. When my buddy was calling out the names of kids and pointing to chairs for them to sit in he says, "Holly...Loren...[b]Raistlin[/b]..." I was walking by, stopped and said, "What? How is that spelled???" I was thinking that in my D&D-addled mind I had heard Raistlin, but maybe it was something more mainstream. Nope. He spelled out Raistlin. I started looking around for her parents and said, "Let me guess: you're gamers right?" :) They smiled and said they were, but they hadn't played since 2e. I'm trying to get them to come play in our 3.5 game...and now when they bring her I can say that Raistlin is coming to our game. ;) On a personal note, should I be lucky enough in the future to have a son, we're thinking about naming him Torm. :D [/QUOTE]
