Mother Names Child After Everquest

[Strygun]

Give them /pizza and they�ll name their first-born after you...

Our players really, really love EverQuest. Case in point: player Tabitha Ayers gave birth to a baby girl January 6, 2005, and promptly named her Firiona Vie Ayers, in honor of EverQuest�s famous spokes-elf. Attached is a photo of the baby Firiona, as well as an image of her namesake, EverQuest's Firiona Vie.

EverQuest turned six years old this month. Throughout the years, EQ has seen over 3 million players come through the world, experiencing magic, adventure and camraderie unlike any other game out there. We've had players meet in game and marry, but this is a first for us.


wow.

How the hell do you explain that to your kid?

"Um, yeah. You're named after a game. A computer game. Not a particularly good one, I might add."

This dude in my platoon met and married his first wife over Everquest. He allegedly had his character give her character some magical ring at which time he asks in-game "Will you marry me IRL?"

Oddly enough, she met her boyfriend turned second husband over Everquest.

Right under her husband's nose.

As long as nobody knows where it's from she should be alright. Firiona is a weird-ass name, but not too bad. Better than Apple.
