A Silly Poll

The rules are simple: Everybody suggest a real-life person (living or dead) whose name sounds like somebody you would expect to meet in the Forgotten Realms. Yes, you can submit more than one name.

My entries:
Danny Elfman (Half-Elven Bard, anyone?)
Zoltan Kodaly (I think the second L is silent).
Sprintz Arbegast (She does the traffic reports on my local radio station. Name sounds very Gnomish.)

Wolf Blitzer (Human bard Town-Crier)

Illumina Drathiran'ar · 09-13-2006, 01:13 AM

Karl Rove- Human rogue/bard

Aristotle Onassis- Elven mage

Kelsey Grammer- Human loremaster

Peter Romanitsch Safreider - Knight or Paladin

CerebroDragon · 09-13-2006, 02:06 AM

Elder Frost (Cleric of Latter Day Gauths - a recent neighbour)

Adrienne Xenides (Former gameshow host. She'd be maybe an Elven Sorceror or something!)

And now for someone slightly more risque - introducing:
Human Conjuror extraordinaire Peter North! (I believe there is a character named Peter of the North near one of the caves in BG1!)
