This is a link of a discussion that was made on the alla boards about some NPCS in the games that are based on people in real-life.
My personal favourite Easter Egg was located in the Sludge Fen in the Barrens. When I was going to get the key for the goblin in the shredder from the head goblin up top, I came upon a named dwarf who was called Foreman Grills. I got a nice chuckle out of that because it refers to the famous boxer, George Foreman. For those that don't know, after George Foreman retired from boxing, he invented a grill that quickly became popular.
