Where did all the Named spells go??

Bigby, Otto, Tenser, why did they all go away?

Too specialized and silly?

Or some Gygax and TSR and WoC business split?
Wow, Another Natural One! You guys are a sink hole for luck. Stay away from my dice.

OSR games can't use names like that because they are copyrighted. Wotc made the names generic probably so they could include them in open content and also so they fit better in campaign worlds other than Greyhawk.

Interestingly enough Greg Gillespie includes named spells as new spells in all his published megadungeons if you like that sort of thing.
