Default Ironic item names...
This is just something funny I had thought of when I got a certain weapon earlier, and thought I would share it with you all:

Ebon Ivory Bow

So, see if you can think of some other items, whether you actually ever seen it or not, that are just entirely ironic like that. To name a few to get you started:

Charr Axe of Charrslaying
Beastmaster's Beastmaster Harness
Shocking Storm Bow

You get the idea...

well depends on how u use it... but by the looks of it most of em follow the characteristics ofoxymoron.

How about "Shocking Stilettos"?

not really ironic =P but still worth posting?

I actually own these:

Dead Sword of Deathbane, Icy Dragon Sword of Dragonslaying,Grinning Dragon Axe of Dragonslaying, Dragon Hornbow of Dragonslaying and Dragon Staff of Dragonslaying.

And I also find Fiery Piercing Axe quite ironic.

Most of those posted are ironic, not oxymoron's. An oxymoron is a contradictory term, such as 'jumbo shrimp', and none of the above actually contradict each other. Now if you could somehow have, say, a 'Fiery Icy Dragon Sword', then it would be an oxymoron.

I found Cruel Celestial Blade mildly amusing.
Cruel Wicked Blade is kind of redundant...

Or, just maybe....

Now, can we move on and stop derailing me thread?
