Why would the name you gave, Burntleaf, be so peculiar?  Lots of names have meaning to them that we use in real life (though we tend to forget that).  Mine for example, Nicholas, is another \"word-name\" from greek nike and laos, victory people.  Ashley is just a name after the tree.  From Justin you can see the root for justice we still use today.  It might seem strange to just make a name out of modern words, because we\'re so into using ancient words or foreign ones instead, but I really don\'t see what the problem with it would be in a fantasy world like the one here, assuming that the English used on the server is just a representation of another language that the characters are actually speaking.

It also would seem silly to have names that all look like a mess of random indo-european acceptable syllables (there has to be a word for that).  Are there any sort of ideas about languages in the game?  It seems like it would make more sense if certain groups (races, I suppose?) were named in their own language.
