You don’t want to know how long it took me to reliably spell “Roegadyn” correctly, despite the fact that it’s one of the five initial races from Final Fantasy XIV and thus has been there since the game’s initial launch. For a long time I just gave up and went with “not-Galka” when I needed to refer to them. It’s not even that hard to spell!
Of course, it’s not the only thing in games that somehow always makes me screw up. I know his name is Lord Recluse, and yet half of the time in casual conversation the villainous lead in City of Heroes gets called “Lord Arachnos.” Half of the time I call the Gree of Star Wars: The Old Republic “the Grell,” and I once called the Sylvari of Guild Wars 2 “plant elves.” Which is only half wrong, but…
The point is that I think we all have names that we just can’t type or continually forget or mix up. So what about you, dear readers? Which MMO names always get you to flub up, no matter how important or straightforward they may be?
