Anyway, we already know that Azeroth was intelligently designed. Just
read the stuff the hologram at the end of Uldaman says.

name of a new guild on my server. <OMG I Crit My Pants>

I actually have only one toon named like this (Linainverse). The
others are either old greek names for metals (Aurum - gold) or
backwords spellings. Funny thing was a member of the one of the
'Bahamut' asked me if my pally's name (Tumuhab) was Egyptian! lol >> Stay informed about: Bad character names to laugh at |

You see Rouge plenty often on US servers. I think that one is universal
(and pretty dang annoying).

When I created my very first character (blond female rogue) I thought
Goldberry was *so* original. I had barely made it to Goldshire when I
met Tombombadil and a version of Aragorn :/ Oh well, she is still my
main and will always be my favorite. >> Stay informed about: Bad character names to laugh at |
