What's in a Name?
« on: August 18, 2010, 07:06:56 pm »

So, my last fort ended with a poorly defended fortress being ravaged by a dual wave of goblin invaders.  Nothing special, but all my dwarves died just the same.

Anyhow, I'm panning through my world and I come across a brook.  The name is so cute I just have to embark there.  Never mind that the temperature is hot , I can't pass it up.

Does anyone else make silly choices just based on the names that come up?

Yeah, and I've always wondered how the game generates names...

Oh, right, and I forgot to add the name.  Heh.

It's Brimstrail the Wispy Whims.  Too bad it's not a fae type area; that would have been perfect.

I once had a dark fortress named Incestslut. I thought it was quite the funny name back them.

A little scary that those words are in there. o_O

Because it's not funny anymore now?
