Most of the people with names like that are probably ritualists.

"was" because that person is died. In fact with item spells you're holding his/her ashes.

The funny with it is that it means a person, who is now dead, who was very forgetful. He, or she, was so forgetful that he/she could not even remember his/her own name. And combine that with the usual ritualist skills, like Destructive Was Glaive, where the name comes last, and the describing word comes first.

<adjective> Was <Name>. Therefor its funny with "Forgetful Was Uh".

"Curious Was George" was probably the funnies name I ever saw in my 4 years.

There you go.

It was funny.

Now it has been explained, however, it is no longer funny.

Funny was joke.
