I had heard that awhile back.

I think it makes a beautiful male name.

Parthanax, is that you?

His name is more feminine then mine. :frowning: I honestly have no clue why I even named this char Leelinn.

Isn’t that Alduin? Alduin the World Eater.

I always pictured this really cute image of a chibi Deathwing breaking off a part of the world to feed to a chibi Alduin like a cookie. xD

Recycling of names from other sources is more common than you might imagine. Many authors make a game of who can put in the most subtle references. It’s a bit less of a sport these days because you’ll have people who goggle every proper noun they see in a text.

Featured snippet from the web

Goel (Hebrew: גואל, lit. “redeemer”), in the Hebrew Bible and the rabbinical tradition, is a person who, as the nearest relative of another, is charged with the duty of restoring the rights of another and avenging his wrongs.

Almost everything in Warcraft is borderline infringing on other writers ideas since the start.

Even Tolkien recycled his fair share of names.
