goldfish911 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Soooo.....I decided it would be fitting if we al put our heads together and came up with as many names starting with W as possible in the Don't Starve spirit!(I have no clue where else to put this, general discussion fits the best.)So I'll start! I may mention some familiar ones, but whatever.Also, please try to avoid repeats/DS names/ hopless name knockoffs (WLOL-1337 comes to mind.) WaverleyWebsterWessmanWinstonWinthropWozmaWilburWhetmanWheatmanWigglesworthWigglesWorthlingWormtailWiffleyWhiffle And so on...What "W" names have you ladies/gentlemen?

jbeetle Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Don't worry about knocking-off movies or whatever. A name is just a name, after all.That's not actually true. There have been cases where musicians want to use their own name, but they can't because there's already a musician with the name that's well-known. I can't remember which name it was in the example, maybe Willie Nelson? I don't know - point is people can do it. Of course, no one like that cares about a thread that just lists W names (speaking of which there's already been several threads like this) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/36946-names-starting-with-w/#findComment-490448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can always counterargue. Of course, using someone else's name is often frowned upon, especially if that someone is famous and the latter is not.

littlebeari Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Just to be geeky-technical, copyright doesn't apply to names, but trademark does. I can totally see a musician named Willie Nelson not able to use his own name because it infringes on trademark protection.
