I'm kinda with Erik on this one. My real name is Zachary Evans-fits perfectly with Midlander naming conventions. Now, granted, I could've given it a hyper fantasy-esque spin such as Zachariah G. Evanson Esq. the problem with it though is it didn't fit the whole farm boy scheme. Think of fantasy novel! Does the farm boy thrust out into the dangerous world EVER have an amazing eighty-seven syllable name lavished with titles and deep, DEEP meaning? Nah. It's usually things like Mat, Thom, Zac and Avere opposed to Stormageddon von World-Breaker, Alouisoux Delacroix, or Magnificent Lequise!!
But everyone's right. All the way from 'special snowflake' to 'lore reasons'.
Everyone stay the hell away from the name Alouisoux Delacroix! I need to use that.
To be forgotten is worse than death
