There's an NPC in NFP that is named in reference to Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th.

Guilds have always been allowed to ignore the name policy for the most part. IB was one of the earliest P99 guilds and used the well-known name (and unique spelling) of the movie.

I dislike dumb names, but I don't typically report them. I regard a stupid name as a big neon sign advertising the player as a fool. I see it as an unintentional community service of sorts.

In-game EQ has a number of pop culture-related NPC names, but they're subtle for the most part. I can't think of any offhand that particularly stand out. The "games of thrones" player names probably fall into the same category. Since I don't watch that television show, I don't recognize any of the associated names. They otherwise largely fit within the game setting.

The opposite end of the spectrum are gnome wizards named Yaren and Filipus.

i don't see the problem with a player named stabbinz

while it lacks creativity, a lot of NPC names in EQ simply describe what the NPC is (earth elemental, fire giant, orc pawn), i don't think such player names break barriers the game doesn't inherently have

Yeah, wasn't there a hobbit from Return for the Ring named Dildo Stabbinz?

You're thinking of Bored of the Rings, and his full name was actually Dildo Bugger of Bag Eye.
