[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8070814, member: 4534"] I can't recall ever banning a name at my table though my player's choices have sometimes raised by eyebrow. In my Buffy the Vampire Slayer campaign I had a player name his character after stuntman [URL='https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1815761/']Chaiporn Gunmoontree[/URL] whose IMDB credits I have so thoughtfully provided. I was a little miffed at first because the choice indicated to me that he might not be interested in playing. But his back story was that his parents were major hippie types and that's what they named him. Okay. In my 1930s Trail of Cthulhu game, I had one player create a Scottish professor by the name of Osiris Thoth van Roth which I found mildly annoying given his previous attempts at character creation. The long and short of it is as follows, the PCs were instructed to create normal characters you might find in 1930s New York. His first "normal" character was a time traveling pilot who fought in the Spanish Civil War. But when the character started losing Sanity I had the other PCs and everything in the world refer to him as Oscar Ross instead. Good fun. One of my favorite names I came up for with a Star Wars campaign was Oberon Gygax. Another was a Jedi named Promixis Chrysops. [/QUOTE]
