Jerry: I still need a name. Did you choose a name?
Mike: Yeah.
Jerry: What is your name?
Mike: I am Jim Darkmagic.
Jerry: Oh, come--Jim... Darkmagic...
Scott: Nooo... What? Why don't you just name yourself Chet Awesomelaser?
Mike: Okay.
Scott: No.
Mike: I'm from the New Hampshire Darkmagics. It's a long line. It's a very renowned family of magicians.
Scott: What was your name again?
Mike: Jim Darkmagic. Seriously, you've never heard of the Darkmagic family?
Jerry: "We're kind of a big deal."
Mike: Heheh!
Scott: In the dark magics?
Jerry: Listen, I'm gonna need to make a name that is twice as ridiculous just to make up for "Jim". There's gonna have to be, like, five X's.
Mike: There's nothing wrong with Jim.
Jerry: Jim is good. Is it short for something?
Mike: Jimmy.
Jerry: James.
Mike: James Darkmagic the 3rd. Would you rather it be Jim Felmagic? Would that be better?
Jerry: I think "fel" is a step up!
Mike: Alright, fine, I'll change it to Felmagic.
Jerry: Nonono, no, I like it now.
Scott: You gotta stick with Darkmagic now.
Jerry: Stick to your guns, or wands, or whatever.
...
Mike: What's your name, Scott?
Scott: Maynard Shortypants! Uh.
Mike: Are you making fun of me?
Jerry: "I'm short!"
Scott: I chose Binwin Bronzebottom... Sorry. I wanted an alliteration. It sounded dwarfy.
Jerry: No, listen, you lose abilities if you have a dwarf and don't alliterate.
Scott: Yeah. Well, Binwin is a D&D name I've used for a long time. And then I chose "Bronzebottom" 'cause they always have, like, compound words, but I wanted to put "butt" in there somewhere.
Mike: I like it.
Jerry: *snort* "But I wanted to have an old-school butt, so I went with 'bottom'. It's a sturdy bottom."
Scott: He chuckled at it. I'm don't know if he likes it or dislikes it.
Chris: That's the type of name that might end up in, oh, say, a D&D product one day.
Scott: "Binwin Bronzebottom"?
Mike: Jim Darkmagic won't?
Chris: Uh. Well? Let me write that down.
...
Mike: I shoulda gone with Felmagic.
Scott: No, you got a call from Blizzard. "Fel is our word for dark magic! 'Cause it's fallen! It fell!"
Mike: I coulda done Jim Feldark.
Scott: Fel-dark...magic...bad.
Mike: Jim Darkfel.
Scott: Jim Dark-fel-bad...ominous!
Jerry: Your first name should be Fel! "Fel... Darkjim!" I mean, I would turn it around.
Mike: Yeah? Or Fel Darkevil.
Scott: How about... Ominous Darkfel...bad.
...
Mike: What's your name?
Jerry: Omin Dran! But it's like O-m-i-n, not like the word.
