Wasn't Kevin the biggest loser name in Britain in the 80's?

Hey, you never know now, eh? Maybe Turiya Foul is right! :D

It was, notoriously. Maybe that's because so many people in Britain read TCTC and saw what a wanker Kevin was. ;)

Seriously, one can't blame SRD for not foreseeing cultural trends in a foreign country a decade in advance.

:LOLS:
You are absolutely right. Never thought of the decade thing.

Yeah yeah righto, line up ye all for a slappin'.

My name is Kevin. I have never been to Britain.

Other points of note, it sounds a little like Conan, who is the Destroyahhh, much like the Landwastahhhh. Oh d-d-d-d-dear.

Someone mentioned that Maybe the name Hile Troy is "Troy, Hile". This reminds me of "Trespassers William".

PS : In my case my name was meant to mean 'dear birth'. I hope they're still fricken payin' :D
Do you think I like being this dangerous?

I've never thought about it before tonight, but I've never thought it a strange name for the genre. Now I do. Thanks :(
