We've talked about
your favorite NPCs before, but I really like this idea by Benfea: what's
the worst NPC name in the game? There are lots of votes for Nutral, the "neutral" flight master in Shattrath, and Haris Pilton probably takes second place for sure. Someone (an MVP!) said Captain Placeholder, but that's crazy talk--
Captain Placeholder is one of the best NPCs ever!
Personally, I never liked the names of the auctioneers in Ironforge-- Redmuse confused me at first, and Lympkin sounds like some kind of disease. And
Fandral Staghelm is not only a jerk of the highest order, but his name sounds dumb, too. Who names their kid Fandral?
What's the worst NPC name you've seen in the game?

I discovered the town of Tureen in Nangrand yesterday, and saw a warden there by the name of 'lolol'. Had to direct someone there via general chat, and they thought I was making fun of them :S

The town of Tureen in Nagrand? Heh, I tend to alter and misremember names myself. The town of South Park is north of Menthol Bay, but you can't get from one to another directly. Azuremyst and Bloodmyst collectively form Draeneiland, and Teldrassil, Darkshore, and Ashenvale are all Elfland.
And whenever somebody asks for a certain Coilfang instance, and I'm inclined to go, I usually start typing in guild chat:
When criminals in this world appear
And break the laws that they should fear
And frighten all who see or hear
The cry goes up both far and near . . .
If you recognize this, you might be as old as I am.

I'd have to say Adon
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=11706
He's a bloodelf who's been standing at the road to Ghostlands for as long as I can remember. He was there when it was blocked off with a bunch of fallen trees, way before BC was planned.

The name of the drunken dwarf who attacks you when you destroy his barrels of beer in BRD, Hurley Blackbreath is the best by far.
