Capcom Wants Help for Dragon’s Dogma Names

In a bit of rather weird news, Capcom’s producer on Dragon’s Dogma Hiroyuki Kobayashi asks the fans’ help to come up with names for the game’s characters. The rules to participate and what the producer himself had to say are up on Capcom’s Blog:

Hi everyone, this is Hiroyuki Kobayashi, Producer on Dragon’s Dogma. This is my first time posting on the blog, and I have a special request for you! The Pawns, your allies in the game, need names. I’d like to ask you to help come up with the hundreds of names we’ll be using in the game. We’re looking for three different categories of names:

Modern name (e.g. Michael, Mike, Ben, etc.)
Dragon’s Dogma world reflected name (e.g. Adaro, Aelinore, etc.)
Pet names (e.g. Coco, Pooch, etc.)

Please, think hard about it and submit your best names to us. If they’re good, we’ll use them in Dragon’s Dogma!

Thanks, GameInformer.
