I don't know if you read the boards, but your ridiculous name has urged me to post.

I personally don't think your name is appropriate and am embarrassed by your existence and association with the Moon Mage Guild. I know it "technically" doesn't violate any of the naming policies, but it's an eyesore and distracting to see an Elothean Moon Mage walking around with such a horrendous name.

I'd love for you to provide everyone with a well thought out and believable explanation for your character's name, but I doubt you can provide one. If you're up for the challenge, feel free and I'll be happy to back down.

Until then, I encourage everyone to report that you find the name disruptive to your roleplay environment and push for GM's to be a little harsher against downright stupid names.

Sugarbanana is a pretty bad one, but lets not single her (her?) out. There are tons of stupid names. Hell, my name can be stripperfied quite easily.

I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content.

Stripperfication isn't the issue. It's sheer ridiculousness.

As if it couldn't get any worse

You see Necrofelia, an Elven Commoner.
Necrofelia has pointed ears and dark eyes. Her black hair is short and fine, and is worn loose. She has smooth skin.
She is young for an Elf.
She is in good shape.

She is wearing a fringed doeskin jerkin, some cream leggings, a tiny wooden tree pin and a battered leather pack.

I think Annwyl will be most appreciative if we simply took that to the Anything But DR folder, just to dislodge the nefarious mind-worm of a thread there.

You know, I just reported the name Sugarbanana when I saw it, a GM told me thanks, and I never saw the name again. It might not always work, but it's a lot more effective than starting threads like this.

I did report. They said they'd look into it and I continued to see the name for at least a week after. Hence the thread.

Clara: I'm Clara and my real name is Clara.

Vork: You use your real name for your Avatar?

Clara: Yeah, well I used to use an alias but then my kids picked it up and started calling me "Momma-natrix".

I reported Sugarbanana twice and heard/saw no response.

Other silly names that are not appropriate I have seen in the last couple of months include Seacucumber, Tanned , and Skinz. Listed in order of offensiveness.
