On Fantasy Names (Resurrected Rant)

[Chris_Nightwing]

I had a dwarven character called Bloody Bigstone.

Then there was the campaign where all of the characters were named after small towns/villages in England. Leighton Buzzard made an awesome ranger.

This got repeated later, but went horribly wrong, so we had a fighter called Germany Swindon..

What, no umlauts?

Now that would be silly. Next you'll be wanting Vietnamese tone markers

Once, a DM (schoolteacher) unleashed a female NPC on us (two veternarians and a scientist) named "Areola". He had no idea why we wouldn't stop laughing every time he mentioned her name.

If he had just taken some pointers from this thread and changed the spelling a little to AAry'olha there wouldn't have been any problems
