He "fantasys" them up a bit- I think that aspect will be ok, at least beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 08/10/2009 05:31:07 AM
I believe a few names in Mistborn and his other books have this, too. He usually changes the letters a bit so they don't sound like "Rich McAntire, of Kel'Th'nias."


If it makes you feel any better, he doesn't do it as a promotional thing- no "Win your name in WoT!" type stuff. He does it more because he's very involved with his readers online, and likes using names from his message boards and writing workshops and the like.


I understand where you're coming from, though.
I amuse myself.

God I hate Twitter. It's the most annoying piece of garbage on the internet. callandor1000 - 08/10/2009 04:13:44 PM 778 Views
