Oh I wasn't suggesting a name change. It's just that Ye Olde English hæten don't work for everyone's campaign, so some translated versions of the name in the Appendix might make the megadungeon more portable.

Here is a little javascript random name generator. Many of the prefixes mean "sleeping" or "asleep" in various languages, and many suffixes mean "god". Just copy and paste into a plain text file and save it as "something.html"
Add as many prefixes and suffixes as you like to the arrays.
Most of the names will be awful, but I thought Zaspalbozh had a nice ring to it.
