(Bilbo, Akira, Mojo Jojo)* Titles may not be included in names (Sir Peabody, Queen Ann)* Names that are vulgar or offensive (you get the idea)* Names or attributes of deities, angels, demons, or any other major figures  in world religions (Jesus, Satan, Beelzebub, Buddha)* Bastardizations of any of the above (Billbo, Sirknight, Mi-lafs)Hope this helps.</blockquote>
