Can anyone tell me why people choose wildly innappropriate or just stupid names for online games? Maybe it is coming from a tabletop RPG background but i like to stick with names that fit. Back when i as doing Trek online i was annoyed by the USS Beavisandbuttcrack. and Now i have finally started playing Old republic i am seeing names that confuse the hell out of me. What sort of name for a Jedi is Kittenwhiskers?
At least in Age of Conan people usually stick with names that work for the genre.
Oh well rant over. It isnt really a big thing. But the appeal of levelling up a character with a daft name is lost on me and i was wondering if anyone could tell me why people are so inclined
