Nice idea. Be careful, though: "Brightblade" is a perfectly good sword name without reference to any Dragonlance books. I've seen Brightblade used as a last name in several fantasy books--though I honestly couldn't name any at the moment. Much of the stuff was eminently forgettable, as are the Dragonlance novels, IMO. (Though that's neither here nor there--well, actually, it's there. It was here a minute ago.)

I'll keep a watch for references. I tend to catch the weird things, like the Green Cat Inn in Betrayal at Krondor (reference to Fritz Leiber's wonderful fantasy novel, The Green Cat) and Miles Gloriosus in Morrowind (reference to a much-beloved braggart and cowardly soldier in many farces written during the Roman Empire by Plautus and Terrence).
