<<Goddamit Tev, i should have clicked first. Sorry for the repost.

You should have responded with the two other videos:
East/West College Bowl 2 - Key & Peele: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT1nGjGM2p8
Key & Peele - East/West Bowl 3 - Pro Edition - Super Bowl Special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDp-ABzpRX8

I especially love in Pro Edition video they mix in real NFL players with weird names. Then they pick on Aaron Rodgers, I mean A. A. Ron Rod Gers. All our names can be weird to someone.

It follows our discussion.

As a chemist, I was sad I didn't get Naohhi's name until she flat out explained it to me.

That only proves just how used to DR naming conventions you are. That you didn't even bat an eye at it or think there might be some hidden (or not so hidden) meaning behind it.

I went to school with three sisters named Fluff, Kippie, and Presh.

I worked one summer at an insurance company transcribing data and got to the point where I was keeping a list of first and middle names that made me laugh. Some of the ones that will always stick out in my head:

Unathyra
Redarious Danquayle
Sharkethia
Twins named Jamesetta and Charlesetta
A man named Wayne who named his daughter Waynette

I actually had a Mr. Deathskull at work once.

I made him go back and spell his last name because I was absolutely positive I must have misheard it but nope.

I had a customer years ago whose name was Boutesang Sangemafone. I might be spelling it wrong; it's been a while. He also told me that it was a truncated version of his actual name, which was too long to fit on a Michigan ID.

A shaman in my WoW guild was named "Huflungpu" and eventually got tired of being made fun of so he did a paid name change to "Deathshock" and was genuinely surprised when we all informed him that it was not an improvement.

We can, but they're unfortunately not against the ToS in any way and so remain.

Hello, player of Meatballs here.

My character's name is a nickname, not intended to be a real name. Welcome to roleplaying games.

Re: Names 10/22/2015 05:02 PM CDT


Your name is annoying still. You should get bonded to Spagetti because that's just delicious.

That said, it's not that much more annoying than names like 'Mhyrrr'ghsh'chshhhh'

Not weighing in on these particular names, but I thought nouns weren't allowed as viable names, probably more for parser issues than anything else.

We try to catch ones that will mess with game enjoyment. Quiver(words), River(words). Stuff that will make getting things from your QUIVER hard, going into the RIVER hard, and so on.

Even those aren't generally BAD (generally, as always some are) and sometimes we just give a "Hey yo, heads up you are going to have some PROOOOOOBLEMS later..."

No one's really going to have much of a game play experience problem with stuff like Meatballs. It's just silly. And as we all know, silly (within reason, taste etc) is not against policy.

Caveats abound, Zoidberg.
