So often the mechanics are OGC but the names aren't. It's understandable, but can be frustrating at times.This particular instance is one case where simply going with a title has some advantages. It means that someone using the SRD can simply plug in their pet god (since most folks have some sort of pantheon/religion they like for whatever reason) or they can just name it appropriate to their setting.Like, you _could_ say, "Ok in this game the goddess Athena is being replace by 'Gwynth'. They're covering pretty much the same Domains, but Gwynth also has Cat Shaving as one of her Domains."Or you could say, "Ok, in this game the War Maiden is named 'Gwynth' and has an additional Domain, Cat Shaving."They're both saying the same basic thing, but to me it's got a different feel. I think it's because names come with pre-conceived notions ("That sounds kinda orcish to me") or in the case of famous names (like Athena) there's that chunk of already established information you've got.</blockquote>
