Actually, Ragnor is the name of a powerful Ogrillon from R.A.Salvatore's "Cleric Quintet"
Thokk is the name of a half-orc warrior around which the last 4 Heroe's Gambit D&D Tournament's have been based.
I've played this character (and variations) as 'Ragnor" for a few years, and since we got first place at the tournament this year (And second place the year before), I added THOKK as his last name to commemorate the accomplishment.
But yeah, come to think of it, that DOES sound a little like Ragnarok... whoops..
I did something similar a while ago with a Warlock, I named him Michael b/c it sounded cool.
Then i needed a last name... At the time I had just finished playing V:TM, and Caine sounded like it'd mix good as a Warlock.
SO, I ended up with Michael Caine. Took me a little while to realize why it sounded so familiar.
And lets not even go near my teenage wizard named Harrold, who made Pots.
j/k.
ALso, those of you who've seen DBZ should get this one: A while ago a friend of mine made a character named Kai Sarutobi. Perfectly cool, japanese swordman name, right?
Yeah, until he became a king a year later, and the country tended to use the first name of their royalty, rather than the last. Hence, King Kai.
Also, same campaign the DM had a female antagonist vampire named "Clarise". He didn't get why we all burst into laughter whenever our wizard said "Hello" to her.
