Jaina.
Tiffyn.
Anduin. (Would be iffy, but it’s actually a LotR reference as well.)
Moira.
John.
Cyril.
Katherine.
Oddly enough almost all of the guys in WoW have odd names that would be considered weird, I think… but most of the Girls have normal-sounding names…

Anyone remember the thread about the dude that named his kid Alexstrasza? Poor thing.

(Reading other posts I guess I had the wrong idea, Babies are more like raid bosses in my eyes so they get raid boss names.)

Might not be that bad. Likely shortened to Alex which isn’t a bad name.
Aside from when they ask her if her name is short for Alexandra.

Literally any name that’s recognizable as “from WoW” is over the top. You’d have to go with characters that have more generic names so the kid could have plausible deniability.

Arthus wouldn’t bee too over the top it’s close to Arthur, although I’m not sure I would do that personally… Something about the idea he will go on a quest for a unholy sword and steal my soul.

One of my best friends named her son Arthis. While a slight misspelling for Arthas, it’s pretty close. Funny thing is she never played Warcraft and just found the name in a book.
He’s now 15 and only gets teased by me about it.
Ion Hazzikostas , ok no.

Just don’t. There are a few select names that can possibly fly, mostly the human characters. Mattias, Katherine, etc. Maybe Jaina.
Don’t be like that dude who made a thread about naming his daughter Alexstrasza and said “people can just call her Alex” This is a full, legal name that is going to have to be used at some point.
A child’s name should not be a joke, or a meme, or a reference. If you want to give something a goofy video game name, get a dog and name it Genn. Nobody will think twice, a lot of folks will probably +1 it.
Edit: Tovi knows what I’m talking about. That thread was special, even for GD.

Jaina is normal sounding.
as is most alliance human’s first names. (varian, anduin, etc)
