The german influence on names in C&C

[Julian Grimm]

Now see how confusing it is for those of us who were stationed in the orient? Until Steve educated me, I was pronouncing it "Airhead."

Strangely apt pronunciation for this crew.

Of course the early iterations were called "Erde" - which is German for "Earth."

Personally I like Erde better than the new name which I tend to never spell the same way twice.

And again, a word which I mispronounce. This time, I sound like the Swedish Chef when I say it.

"URdy, urdy, urrrrdee."

[Julian Grimm]

I tend to use names based off of ancient culture more than anything. I have been running the A-series for my group and have changed many of the names in the module to fit my world. So you have Albion being the kingdom with city names like Corinth, Antioch, Ephesa, Cadogan, and such.
