my first female toon i ever made was named after my youngest daughter for fun. Oddly that toon became my main (female erudite paladin) and i played her from early 2002 until i switched to a male iksar warrior about 6-8 months ago.
Only time it was weird having a toon named after my daughter was when using ventrilo...it just felt weird to be addressed by my youngest childs name. It wasn't too horrible and was tolerable till i met some guildies and hung out for a couple days and was addressed by her name in real life, repeatedly. I quit playing her shortly after that. And as much as i loved the toon i do believe she is offically retired.
