Blizzard isn't monitoring the names - it's the players in game that report the names. Blizzard then goes through the reports and see if it does violate something. So it's not Blizzard's attention on names that you have to really worry about. It's the players. And you can be darned sure if it's a reference to anything in literature, entertainment, history, places, etc. if you know about it someone else will too. If they don't like you, they'll report it and then Blizzard steps in and decides if it fits within their rules or not.

Now, that being said, do I actually think he's going to be reported for it? No, unless someone gets angry with him for some stupid reason (it's amazing the things that can get some of these people angry :rolleyes: ) and decides to get "revenge" by reporting the name. That is an often enough occurance though. Quite a few names are on the servers that violate at least one of the rules in the naming policy. Do they all get reported? No, not even close, but when they do get reported, most of the time Blizzard will see it as a violation and change it. I was just giving a friendly "this could possibly happen". Not a "OMG change it now! You're gonna get caught, taken out back, and get the tar beat out of you for choosing that name!" :rolleyes:
Intolerant monkey.
