My name is Alex. A guy I went to UNC with was named Alex too. I saw a guy on tv with the name Alex. It IS possible that more than one person in a Fantasy world will have the same name as someone else. Hell, I have found that one of the best ways to find good names is to grab a history book, flip through a few pages, and viola! Hundreds of them. For any who are interested the books on Alexander the Great by Arrian and Plutarch are great starts. My point is. We all need to stop putting so much emphasis on names. Granted there are some noted examples that should be avoided. I offer this solution. Let us all get the corncobs out of our asses, and just play the game for what it is. A FREE passtime. Does it really bug you that there is someone in the game with the name of someone in a book? If so, do it yourself. AL
