What went through my mind when I first created my first character - Can I have Sauron as a name - of course not. These questions apply well in those situations. But the immortals cannot dare argue with someone if they choose a name that is not original. As I said before it is not realistic to have the gods change their names but it does make it difficult to enforce the name thing. Now I seek to roleplay my own character and not dwell upon past fantasy epics etc... (Though who would not want to emulate the feats of Sauron.) I often spend an hour making up a name. I once had 25th lvl fire giant but scrapped him because I thought his name was pansyish. This was foolish upon my part but for me I like a good name.
