Did you choose Telluride as a (sur)name as homage to Telluride, CO and their fantastic bluegrass festival they have every year?
I didn't know about the bluegrass festival, but I'll add that into the mix - and yes, the city was the original inspiration.
The name was originally used by my old character in Fallen Earth, and would have been used in The Secret World if I'd ended up playing that. It was meant to evoke the character of Colorado in those personas - a little off the beaten path, independent minded, and with a touch of chill, in every sense of the word.
It had been meant for The Secret Wolrd to be an Americanization of a Germano-Slavic sounding name, "Tehlreit", when I was designing a family of rare book collectors and hunters of the paranormal, who had immigrated to North America a few generations past.
So, it connects to the city, and to my own RP roots and stories. I wear it proudly.
