A Moose posted:Pretty sure Theron is an actual name people sometimes have. But holy crap Nazim. Best name on that list. He is almost certainly named after someone's D&D character or something. There's a pair of really big D&D fans I know who named their daughter Narnra. Why that name? Because it's the name of Elminster's daughter in the Forgotten Realms.

made of bees posted:I already know someone who was named after her mom's DnD character. There's a couple on the nerdiest Forgotten Realms forum who named their daughter Narnra. If you're not aware, FR is the most detailed/nerdiest D&D campaign setting. So why Narnra? Because it's the name of the daughter of the famous wizard Elminster (my avatar, actually.) So yes they named their daughter a nonsense fantasy name after the D&D setting they liked the most. But it gets worse. You see, Narnra is from the book Elminster's Daughter, which features the character Narnra trying to find her dad and getting mixed up in trouble. At least that's what the cover copy suggests. It's actually misleading: the title refers to the fact that a lot of fan-famous women are actually daughters of Elminster. There's a couple of scenes where these women just sit around in groups and talk about who daddy is. So, yes, little Narnra, you are named after a D&D character. Also your dad probably cheats a lot.

I can believe it. There's some crossover with women in that group since it is a property for girls. Content: A baby in my extended family was just named Vercin, short for Vercingetorix.
