I think I feel stupid now.

This technically could go in the gamers forum, but I'm putting it here because I want all opinions.

I created a WoW toon to play w/ our WoW girls...and I named her WestpacWidow because DH is about to deploy and I'm going to be "widowed" by Westpac. I knew I'd heard the term before and I thought it would be fitting.

Before I started it I asked DH, just to be sure "Do you know of any negative connotations for the term "WestpacWidow"? And he said no. So I'm up to level 10, just finished my pet quest string - and I just can't shake the idea that "WestpacWidow" is a bad term - as in - an unfaithful wife or something.

My question is, do YOU consider it a bad term? And should I scrap the toon and start over?

What would you do?

[ImNoOliveOyl]

Yes, every time I've heard it used, it's been in a negative way.. honestly though, it's just another stereotype we continue to prove wrong daily Becca!

btw, welcome back... I've missed you!

I know nothing bout WoW but I think your brain is playing with you

[LaneyBug]

I haven't ever heard it, so it doesn't have any negative connotations for me.

[Becca]

Welp.

I googled the term.

Time for a new toon

Luckily I only put about 6 hours total playtime into her.

How irritating. DH is going to laugh at me.

Thanks for the input girls, and Michelle I SO wish you were right

[Becca]

Thank you Melissa, it's good to be back!!

If it bothers you that much I would just start a new toon. It will not take you very long to get another toon up to 10 maybe an hour. I really don't see anything wrong with the name you picked but it's up to you.

An hour??

I'm efficient, but not that efficient. An hour will probably get me to level 4 or 5

LOL I just googled it too and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!

hey Becca let me know if you do start another one what her name is. I think im going to start a Draenei Shaman so maybe we can quest together depending on which race you pick.
