So, the plural of droplet is the same as droplet? That's odd...

Language nerd side note: Expressing number via grammar is not obligatory (e.g. there is no grammatical number in Japanese; and in spoken French number is only indicated via the article and in very few nouns).

MrBernie: The reason that *usually* is allowed to happen is because there's a way to distinguish between plural and singular forms by way of written text or situation.

I guess what this means is that there must be some sort of written nuance in the original nonenglishified form of the name... or Toady was being lazy. Hehehe...

There was a goblin named Asno Mouthprofane the Glum Lover of Funerals.

I imagine her sitting alone in the back of a funeral muttering to herself, 'This is effing awesome...'

 Not so much funny as awesome:

 Esagu Seducedlies the Evil Nightmare of Sins

 Now note that this is a demon for Hobgoblins, which is a modded race with a modded language. However, each of those words are in vanilla DF. Except for Esagu, which means brand.

[Yanlin]

I got Urist Somethingsomething the Moist Gorge of Carnality once.

[Ryke Masters]

Caves named The Long Shaft of _____. (Love is the one I remember, but it could be substituted with half the words in the namegen, and it'd still be hilarious. There are definitely some much more "explicit" than "love", but none come to mind. 70's porn vibe is strong in this one.)

[Remalle]

Budam (Yearling) Dusktimes the Purple Blueness, a Cyclops.  Though I suppose a slightly colour-blind cyclops might mistake blue for purple...

One of my civilizations had a god whose suffix was "the Neutral Neutrality of Balance."

... I think he was attributed to... well, I'm not sure.

With a name like that he HAS to be attributed to blight, the sky and trees or something to that effect.

At least it's not the Ambiguous Uncertainty of Indecision...
