If they take Legolas off the useable list and put it on the Blacklist then we might as well forget about all things Tolkien!! And what kind of world would we have without fantasy?? This game??

Shouldn't there be more existing lore names on that list?

I do think we should get Legolas on the list, if only to avoid
this kind of problems

Seems my post was Misunderstood..... I dont think just because one person is upset about a name like Legolas, which is a legitimate name in Tolkien Novels, Should be put on the black list!!!!
You take away Legolas, then you have to take away my name also, Ariwen is the Daughter of the Elf king in Rivendale. So you want to ban names from novels, what else do we have???

Which is a derivation of a real name that still, occasionally, gets given to people.
While I could see 'Jesus' being banned (even though that still gets used as a hispanic name) you'd also have to ban James, John, Peter, Paul, Mary, Joseph, Lazarus etc, etc, etc... (and all derivatives).
There are limits.
I'd agree on the overdone fantasy names though, particularly of the main characters.
Come to that, DoubleTap is a bit of a gun-combat/gunfire oriented name and suggestive of 'pwning', isn't it?
Oh, and Tryton would have to change his first name too
