I'd just like to point out that it's sometimes really unclear what kinds of names kill immersion and what don't. I'm okay with that standard, but I think it's a nebulous standard. For instance, there are NPC's named "Bait Masterson", "______ Deeppockets" (some halflings in Rivervale), "Ekim Nottap" (Mike Patton backwards), etc. I think these are amusing to see in moderation and so I don't cry myself to sleep when I see them. I guess seeing such names all the time could kill immersion. I'm pretty neutral on this whole issue and so I just err on the side of supporting the naming policy because it's classic.
