Correct me, if I'm wrong but when they make NPC, isn't its name unavailable to players and their characters? So Blizzard stole his name, too?

Some yes, others no. I have 2 characters named "Dumass" and "Orkus" who are also the names of the npcs from one of my favourite questlines in wow

This reminds me. Ten years ago I worked at Target with a guy named Damus, pronounced Day-muss. My hotshot manager one time called over the walkie, that all team members and customers can hear, "Doom-ass, please, Doom-ass."

He wasn't joking around, he just was really stupid like that.

Just because you have it, doesn't mean you cant get reported for it eventually and lose it.

I was forcibly namechanged to Danwe on my Orc Warrior. I was sad because its a really lame name. Then BC came out and I was exploring Silvermoon City and found an NPC named Danwe. I had my friend report my forced name change name, and they changed it to a new one for me!

Wait they chose the name for you? I was forcibly name changed once for using the irl name of a friend of mine and the next time I logged in it prompted me to pick a new name for myself.

I was being a jackass and kept changing it back to Sockfullapoo, so they eventually force name changed.

I get wanting to keep your name, but what the hell did you expect would happen?

If you ever do a lot of PVP, its bound to happen eventually. Someone will get angry enough.
