Beware if your name starts with M

Myrnath - intellect devourer host

Miriam - lover of a warlock, the latter eaten by harpies

Miri - dead newlywed wife of the trapped man at Waukeen's Rest

Mayrina - zombie's wife

Myrna - Lenore's beloved deceased dog

Meerna - Nere's victim

And that's just in Act 1! Is there any background info on why these similar names are all over, and all faced tragedy?
