Have to admit, I wish I never seen this image of Loramin on a box. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I wish I hadn't either (had no idea it was a drug name before this whole conversation started).

But you didn't answer my question. Loramin, the drug name, is extremely obscure: as I said my character shows up three times on the first page when you google it. 99% of all players do not see "Loramin" and think "that's a marketing alias of the drug ___" ... they'll think it's a fantasy name. However, 99% of players who see "Winchester" will think of the gun, family, mystery house, etc.

So again, I ask: what's your problem with banning names that obviously mean something non-EQ to most people? If you honestly believe people should be able to have names that clearly mean something non-EQ-related, just say so.
