Naming your kids after WoW npcs..

[Vargulf the Happy Husky]

I would name my son Thrall so he could make thrall's balls jokes his whole life. I think he would thank me for that down the line

If you want to, do it. They are beautiful names and pretty unique. It's better than naming your child North when your last name is West.

[Ielenia]

Who woulda guessed? Another hot-headed, menace to society pit-bull.

Who said anything about a "menace to society"? I simply called it a "hot head" because he barks at every single thing that crosses the sidewalk in front of the house. Outside the house, in a leash, he's pretty cool. Even when I have visitors, if I welcome them in the house, he's calm.

or misspelling it kanye, when its meant to be kayne

It's super trashy, just like people naming their kids after car- or designer brands.

But yeah, these people exist and thanks to their names they are easily filtered out, for example by recruiters when they try to apply for a job.

It's one theory, yes. Not confirmed though.

Very very likely, a lot of the descriptions of religious experiences match drug trips, it would be childish not to think so.

you get no red lines if you keep javascript turned off

Thanks, Mom.

Well, one of the mysteries of Christianity is why the disciples didn't just give up on their faith after Jesus died and supposedly did not come back to life. No one has any good answer to this dilemma. Mass hallucination is one theory, but it's flawed.

It really isn't worth worrying about in the end, the human mind is very easily tricked so any kind of trickery could have happened.

By whom? Who had the incentive?

There is always incentive, clearly there we're vastly more intelligent people with big plans back then that easily puled a con on people by today's standards who we would medically consider mentally retarded. So it would be like fooling a small child.

The historians who study the subject disagree with you.

And also, that people of the past were unintelligent is a myth, they were pretty much as clever as we are today, they just knew less.

[Oneru]

I've always considered Leia as a name for my daughter, which my wife actually also likes a lot (and no, a son wouldn't be named Luke), so it might still happen one day.

I don't think there's anything wrong with naming your son after any persons or character, whether it's real or fictional, but I've always kept one rule:
- Don't name your kid after anyone whose story is not yet fully told.

[Oakshana]

My sons mother and I met in WoW and had a long & healthy relationship. I played a rogue for a long time. We made our sons middle name "Mathias".

[Eosia]

3. Anduin

That's a Tolkein reference, not WoW. They just swiped the name from the major river from Middle Earth.

[s_bushido]

please tell me your baiting and this isnt a thing. those that fall lower on the bell curve, have broken our species to such a degree that anyone(thing) on the outside looking in, would be like wttttffff lol.

I mean, we already know of the ppl that name their kids tequila, and northwest, and blueivy, and dream..... Cause, kids are now accessories, named to show how trendy and hip you are amirite? Who cares how retarded the names sound when theyre adults, or at a job interview. Jesus.

If I was a girl born in the '00s-'10s, I can tell you that I'd much rather my parents name me Jaina or Sylvanas than something like fucking Dakota or Brooklyn... But maybe that's just me.

[Msshammy]

Wife and I met on WoW roughly 10-11 years ago.. After about 3 years of knowing each other I was working in her state and we decided to meet up. We had a great time and eventually fell for each other. Two years later we had our daughter. While she was pregnant we were going through the usual name process and she jokingly said "we should name her Jaina". We both laughed and then sat in silence for a couple of minutes. I said "you know... I actually really like that"... She agreed. However, even though we named her Jaina, we didn't really name her "after" Jaina Proudmoore.. we just really liked the name.

She is now seven and I can't think of anything else I'd rather call her. Now my sister in law is pregnant with a girl and she wants to name her Tyrande so the two can take over the world.. /roll eyes lol

I get compliments on her name being pretty constantly.. then the usual "where did you come up with that name?" Sigh, it never gets easier to answer lol

What can go wrong with this name https://www.wowhead.com/npc=108156/topper-mcnabb

[Dellis0991]

If I have a son I'm going to name him Tirion. Jaina for a girl. I'm horde, but I cant name my kids Thrall or Saurfang lol. Maybe Garona or Lilian.

Lilian is a normal name. I got a aunt Liliian.

[RohanV]

I know someone who named their son Rohan.

This is actually a normal name, especially in Indian culture. It is amusing that a lot of people into fantasy first jump to Lord of the Rings.
