#6413, "RE: About names"

>What's up with that? There is nothing obscure about >Molokai....
No offense to Hawaii, but I didn't know that. In fact, I could probably gather the entire staff together and say "Molokai is.." and none would mention Hawaii but several would say "Uh.. a.. variation on Malakai?" Ok, maybe one of them would. Or two. But then they'd say "He's not actually named Hawaii, right?".
Obscurity is going to be defined by the people judging it, and if we don't know it (like the Nordic thing, no idea), some of them are going to slip through. We pick off a lot of these through Google, though. We hit 10 renames to every pray about a name. Easy. We're on the job, we just don't speak Norwegian or live in Hawaii, among other things.
The one that kills me is the "letter off a character from seven years ago". My memory for names goes back maybe a year unless the guy was a real big deal to more than himself. If it has been years, and none of the Immortals on have any idea who you're talking about, it may not change. I'm just saying. If anything help the guy Hero so the name doesn't get re-used when he goes away. Or kill him off quick and do it yourself.
Also, don't complain to Heroimms about names, guys. They can't do crap about it that praying yourself doesn't take care of, and it distracts them from their actual duties.
We are renaming people. We are. We're just not hitting all the names and near-misspellings of names that the combined playerbase is going to pick up on.
Feel free to e-mail me directly if a name is really paining you.
