I agree with Raze.
I didn't see too many complaints that you need to know something of Medieval Christian Demonology to understand what 'Diablo' is - but you would. Didn't hurt sales too much, there
There are plenty of names that make no sense unless you know the background, though - certainly far less than 'Ego Draconis'.
What exactly does 'Warhammer 40,000' mean? 'Baldur's Gate' tells you nothing. How about HALO? Or Crysis - which is not even a word? 'Mass Effect' is pure nonsense... You get the idea
What sells a game is not the name, but how well potential customers understand exactly what it's about and how much interest they have in what they hear. Some of the best selling games of all time have names that make little real sense. How clear would 'The Sims' be as a title to someone who didn't know what the games were about? 'Final Fantasy' means what exactly? Could be anything, right?
You get the idea, I'm sure. Interest people enough in the game and you could call it almost anything you want
