Naming

Decided to bring up this same exact topic again. So, what are acceptable names?
I mean, can you just steal a name from lord of the rings? Or change them slightly as the player Galadria plainly did? (and i've seen over and over again)
These names aren't exactly original, and therefore surely should be made to be changed?
I mean, if a player called "frogo baggins" requested an account, surely he wouldn't be allowed one.
Ah well, can you tell I'm bored?
Yours no-monsteringly
whatever

yes well board names differ from charnames,i have never seen galdriel in game, however i have seen galadria. Boremier,Aragon,Galadria,Frodo,all names ive seen in game, Most of these were before they stopped accepting lotr names however.

Boremier and Faramir are LotR Ripp-Offs, they slipped in.
Aragon is as far as i know not from LotR (Aragorn would be)
Galdriel has a Character in Game, but it seems unused or only for GM-Propose.

Aragon would still be a Ripoff...
Just like it's normally Boromier and Faramier...(not completely sure, how
they're spelled)
and Aragon and Aragorn...it's still only one letter changed...
Oh well...just pointing this out...no offence whatsoever...

After doing some little Search (via
Google ):
(You could do this easly yourself before claiming Nonsense)
"Aragon" has its Orgin in Spain, it seems to be either a beautiful Landscape, a touristic Attraction or a City there.
Look yourself for further Informations.

i have met a hobbit named " Frodo Scarlett" its not frodo baggins but still frodo
Darlok, if he didnt mean it to be slightly changed from lotr , wouldn't he have just made a different name. After all there is a seemingly infinate amount of acceptable names one could make up.

I know what i am talking about, i know that Aragon did never meant to take a Name out of this Book. In fact i doubt the has thought about this concidence as he created his Character.

I guess it could happen, ive had first hand experience with me making up a word and then it appears somewhere else.
