Blizzplanet is home to a vast and occasionally over-enthusiastic list of World of Warcraft pop culture and literature references. Here's what I mean by over-enthusiastic:
Gillian Moore (Leather Armor Merchant)[is a reference to] Hannibal (2001) — Actress Julie Moore plays as Clarice Starling in the sequel of Silence of the Lambs. Hannibal is a cannibal and the NPC is a leatherworker, got it?
Mehhhh. Julianne Moore is almost certainly the origin of the name but the cannibalism thing is tenuous at best. That was really not one of her defining roles.
Apart from the fannish burbling and arm-waving, the list is a fun skim and will undoubtedly allow you to impress your next group with your godly powers of observation, coupled with your encyclopedic knowledge of popular culture.
