When are you going to rename Volibear? I think Bjorn, Ragnar, Russ or Asgeir would all be good choices.

You didn't name Sejuani Pigrida.

Also, I like Nami.

Disney is also infamous for suing the **** out of people for any perceived infringement.

*woosh* And it sails right over your head.

At least Riot finally broke the female name trend of: Diana, Zyra and Syndra.

Could we request a champion that is built specifically to troll Morello at some point in the future? Or is that champion already Soraka.

So a reference to Ariel is no go because it's Disney, but directly taking Nami as a name from One Piece is okay? Not that it particularly bothers me, but it's just a little confusing how it's fine how direct a name like Nami is while Romnariel is more subtle about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with either, just baffled. More importantly...


What if I told you that Ariel is also a common real world name and NOT invented by Disney?

Hate to break it to you, but Nami is a really stupid name for a champ in any way associated with the ocean. It's not a common name like Annie or Diana, but it's already engrained in the public consciousness as the pirate chick from One Piece.

I can't believe that never occurred to you.
