[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5550238, member: 54877"] All five female characters in our current D&D group are named after Disney princesses. When one player decided to name her minotaur barbarian "Minnie", we were off to the races. So no, names don't necessarily bother me. :) One guy playing a female invoker tried to buck the chain, but he got "nick-named" by the group. Since he is one of the prime "nick-namers" in the group in previous campaigns, he hardly has room to complain. That's what happens with any name that is too complicated in our group--it gets shortened. I just ran an adventure with a white dragon name that was Fristhy(somethiing)(somethingelse). Five seconds after being mentioned, the dragon was "Fristy Freeze". Though not to his face. :hmm: I like to get names out of Roget's Thesaurus. One of my more memorable foes was a water elemental lord named "Rill". Very easy to remember, and not a word for "creek" that would ever get used by any player at our table. [/QUOTE]
