    It is, in fact, a deliberate 2.

    2 also includes fictional people.

    ACK!
    Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

      There ought to be a category for names made up to sound good in crappy fantasy games. Why the hell else would I be called Graag (other than that it means "yes please" in swedish)?
      I have discovered that China and Spain are really one and the same country, and it's only ignorance that leads people to believe they are two seperate nations. If you don't belive me try writing 'Spain' and you'll end up writing 'China'."

        Although I get the point you are making. There is a category missing, which can broadly be defined as "Things". The entry for "Things" should go as follows:

        Things.
        See: A/N. Omit either the A or the N.
        e.g. Kassiopeia, lightblue, Trip
        Hey now, Trip is obviously a #7.

                What about those of us who are in category 2, but it's a fictionalized representation of a real figure we're going after?

                Oh wait, I forgot...you don't care. Anyhoo...off I go!

                        So where exactly would I fit in?

                            So, in what category do people with real-life nicknames go to? The first category?
                            I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.
