> 1) If you're so miffed about the whole name biz, then Imm a char of yours and get cracking on all those lamenamers you see.

I did, thank you. I'm now the Assistant Name Nazi. (Points go to the first to figure out who the Head Name Nazi is...)

The other thing that you can do when you see a lame name is
a) Pray
b) Talk to a heroimm or Avatar (who can't hear prays).

When you do so, briefly say *why* the name is no good. Not everyone is coming from the same frame of reference as you (for instance, I haven't read a fantasy novel in almost 8 years now) and some of the imms aren't from North America and so may not understand a cultural reference. (Alternately, most of them *are* from North America, so if the cultural reference is European or Asian or what-have-you, there's even less of a chance that it'll get caught.)

Believe me, such help is appreciated. It's not always acted on, but it's always appreciated.
