The problem is that a lot of people create their first characters'  
names before they know what the game is all about.  Now, that's not  
necessarily an excuse for everyone (like those with three dumb  
names), but even for others, especially if they've had the character  
with the dumb name for years now, trying to pressure them to change  
it just isn't going to fly.

And unless Tom provides some mechanism for changing the family name  
(which I believe he's said he never will), there's nothing you can do  
about dumb family names like THE DEMONS or similar foolishness.

Yeah, dumb names are annoying...but they are much more of an OOC  
thing than messages, in my mind.  Laugh at the people with dumb  
names, and they'll lose honour OOC, and maybe decide to change them ;-)
