One of the pages I looked at had that... although to be honest a couple of the names were a bit way off. Like you, I write fantasy so I reckon I'm pretty open about what people are called- but one in the excerpt I read had what looked like a silent W at the end which was kind of odd...says she who writes about the K'Barthans and a bloke called The Pan of Hamgee (which has already been criticised)?! Mmm pot, kettle black.
