Sorry, one more thing to add then.  Thing is, there are real live people
named Daemon.  (which can refer to spirituality, not just hell and
creatures)  And I think the important thing to note is that you need to give
people the benefit of the doubt.  Dwilight will suck if you question names
that are in the grey area, because you are biased.  Chastity is a name, Hope
is a name, and these are just English words but they have deep meaning
behind them, and so does Daemon to some people if you understand why they
chose it, and do not put your own definition into the name.  Obviously noone
is named Toolbox, so there is a line between names that have real spiritual
meaning, and being named Wagon or Shovel.

Names like Darklord and Assassin aren't close to anything that exists in
real life.  Daemon clearly is and does.

For example, Pan would be a good name, but I'm afraid someone like you would
say 'you can't be named after cooking equipment' and ban it, not seeing it
has meanings beyond it's literal definition.

You shouldn't have to research the names to find out their meaning.  If the
name isn't obviously stupid, like Noobslayer, let it go, or you'll ruin
Dwilight in OOC fights before it gets off the ground.  That's the only
reason I rant so much, I worry about the island lurching at the start over
over-restrictive bans.
