[QUOTE="Kafkonia, post: 3428684, member: 40261"] Well, the best name story is probably from a short-lived game in which an NPC nicknamed the bad-tempered drow ranger "Stabs" after she told him she'd kill him if he gave her a stupid nickname. She did. And the rest of his household. So much for the module! (I went through two PCs in that game, Diabedes the Hexblade, and Xylophon the Cleric of Death & Suffering.) I had a sorcerer named Willard, named after I decided his familiar would be rat. I've had two PCs named Pete, one a Cleric, one a Favoured Soul. They were brothers in a minor noble family from the far side of the kingdom, where all the men were named Pete after the area's #1 export (and all the ladies were named after cheeses, the area's #2 export.) I had a half-ogre fighter (and implicit illegitimate daughter of Pete the Cleric) named Deadora Lìve. I've considered but discarded Scott Paper and Harold "Don't Call Me Harry" Balzac. Right now I'm running Bors Sohn von Peter (which literally means "Bors, son of Peter") through the SCAP; he's the scion of a disgraced noble family (implicitly disgraced by Pete 1 or 2) and he's mentioned in-game that he has a sister named Natasha.
