So after stewing for a few days over the muckup of "koborokuru" (korobokkuru), I let my thoughts drift back to another Shadowrun naming pet peeve: the existence of at least two dragons named "dragon" (Lung and Ryuumyou, though at least the latter is a proper name meaning "ferocious dragon" instead of simply being the word "dragon" in the local language) and one that, as far as I can tell, is named after a city in Yemen. Are there any other instances we can think of of deeply lazy naming amongst major Shadowrun entities? Keep in mind that I'm looking for abysmally lazy names, like dragons named "dragon" or blatant misspellings of historical or legendary figures that can't be passed off as deliberate modification (as a non-SR-related example, as deeply annoying as I find the term "magick", there's no mistaking that it's deliberate. I'm looking for things more along the lines of "majic", or even "maigc").
Anything come to mind? ~J |
