I prefer gibberish names to fake Indian names, Drizz't or Swiftrunner?


One thing that does bother me though is when all the characters have these elaborate fictional ethnic names and then the women (typically only the non-evil ones, evil ones get gibberish too) pop up and have names like Gwen, Marian, or if they're feeling adventurous, the name of a month. I get that they don't want to have someone like Drizz't pining for Ur'Ba'Danoth or Dud'e'lon Mc'Manlo've but they could use the standard English feminine details and make up fitting names.


Drizz't eventually starts shacking up with a Katie, how silly is that?

Aluria and its offspring doesn't count because they're just the word Allure spelled wrong.
