Kid Named After Everquest Character

eToychest writes "Sony Online Entertainment just sent notice that some poor baby has been named after a character in EverQuest. Apparently players really, really love this game. 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. The path to geekdom for this child has aready been paved in 12-sided dice and character sheets." At this point I think it's safe to say that SOE is going to be the cause of the downfall of Civilization.

    What a completely one-sided and closed-minded argument. When my daughter was only months old EverQuest's Kunark had just come out. I put in a good deal of time in the game and my child received proper care. I actually take offense to that comment.

    Some people play games, some work on computers and others work on cars.
