Name change candidate list

[Lazortag]

Some of the halflings in Rivervale have last names that seem questionable (Flyddia Deeppockets, for instance). I think the question should be, "could an NPC plausibly have this name?" before any action is taken on whether a name/surname combination is against the rules.

Most of the name changes I've seen were not that unreasonable and I honestly wouldn't have whined about it the way some of you do.

Talk about being a fucking tattle tale.

Name yourself with some pride and diginity. I usually take EQ naming as serious as naming a pet or a child. Would you really want to holler it out the name when in the back yard? "GET IN HERE SHITFNGERAGOT!" - I think not. Perhaps the majority of players are too used to the WoW naming policies these days, who knows.

I named my kitten Marty Graw, or just Marty for short. Is Cyrius going to kick in my door SS style with some lame ass R. A. Salvatore nametag and shove it over poor Marty's head?

PS, Cyrius is a homophone of Sirius or Serious, both of which are not consistent with Thine Roleplaying Experience, and should be changed *immediately*.

Should probably just immediately kill your cat and dispose of its body.

Everquest is known for funny names. Always has been. Lets take a look at some which the developers themselves instituted.....

Tunare = Nature
Fennin Ro = Infernno
Rathe = Earth
Xegony = Oxygen
Veeshan = Heavens
Tarew Marr = Water
Povar = Vapor
E'ci = Ice
Rodcet Nife = Docter Fine
Rolfron Zek = "Forlorn"
Qeynos = Sony EQ

Or how about some funny mob names.

Ringo = Beetle in Paludal ( Beetle's Singer )
Mort & Gage = Bankers in Thurgadin ( Mortgage )
Prince Kyrmt Keroppi = Froglok in Lake Rathe ( 3 in one: Kermit the Frog, Frog Prince, and Hello Kittys friend. )
Eenot = Tiger in Kithicor ( Tony the Tiger i.e. Frosted Flakes )
Reggit = Tiger in Kithicor ( Tigger from Whiny the Pooh )
Jekel Enhied = Merchant in Freeport ( Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde )
Charlotte = Spider in Steamfont ( Charlottes Web )
Fharra Cawfeet = NPC ( Farrah Fawcett )
Mees, Gono, Keel, Uuuz = Scarecrows in Plane of Mischief ( Mees gonna kill yous! )
Bait Masterson = NPC in FP ( Bat Masterson )
Lars & Ulrich McMannus = NPC's in WK ( Lars Ulrich of Metallica )
Cubert = Gelatinous Ooze in Qeynos Sewers ( Q-Bert video game )
Wella and Wellford Fargin = Firiona Vie Bankers ( Wells Fargo )
Jars Legola = Elf NPC in Innothule Swamp ( Legolas of LOTR )

... and many more, im sure.

Just thought id throw these out there, maybe they can help put things into focus more.

Laken Boorheez is a barbarian in NFP. Obvious reference to Jason Voorheez.

There's a difference between "Sweaty Nutz" and "Blahblah". Just because you don't like a name doesn't mean it's childish nonsense.

I have to say LOL a bit here..

Blahblah was a level 1 Necro my girlfriend made to cast Invis to Undead on me in LGuk. It literally existed for like 10 minutes and someone shit their pants enough to add it to this list? By the way this was like.. a month ago.

Wow... I'm stunned.

If names are such a big issue such use a dictionary and block all real words. That's half the problem already solved as Fyre, Bawls, whatever existed in classic EQ. Create a report method for serious violations. Done.

No it is not. When i made up this name back in 99 i was playing Mortal Combat 2, and was fighting Cyrix right at that time. That is where my name originates.
