> > 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...)

> 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.
