How To Create A Unique Gaming Name

Remember, the more syllables you use the less likely it is that someone else already has the same exact name.
Fortunately most people lack the creativity to create something unique.
The best way to create a unique gaming name is to take any word like "Shape" for example and switch out the vowel to create "Shepe" and then prefix it with another letter like "Ishepe".
Wow! you have just created a unique name that you can call your own.
Now you do have to be a little careful and check out your new name because it may mean something nasty in another language.
But as a rule it's pretty easy to create unique names that sound good.

    I refuse to use any name that doesn't at least sound like an actual name. Would you really want your parents to name you XxkainxX for example? How would you even pronounce that?

    Yeah, it is kind of.
    I should have posted it there, maybe they will move it.
    I am just really tired of seeing idiotic names in the game. LOL
    Like variations on profanities and things like that.
    But what can you do? Most people have no imagination LOL

    That's not how I made my names, I try to think of name that suits the class (This character being the exception, although I'm pretty sure this name is a good one :D)

    But yeah... interesting guide o.O At least it's not like another game I know of where people name their characters after items.

    Or, you can have a name that means something in your primary language, but also sounds like a real name - win/win/profit!

    Good job OP! :)

    Doesn't always work but I usually use the 'look up a synonym for a word I wanted to use in the first place' method.
