    I generally stick with 1 name in variaties, because my originality sucks balls.

    I usually use names based of things i have a special bond to in other games and sometimes books.
    Nearly every character-name i have is based of either FF XII, Kirby or Terranigma with a few exceptions.

    I also prefer using names that dont sound english. Cause i never apply for factions in any game, i always let them invite me and you get way more invitations when people know from the start if you can speak their language.

    And what really has become a rule is that i name my males with "soft " names. I associate young male with gentle, beautyful, playful and somewhat saintly which is why most of my mages are usually young males.
    I see females more to be rough and warrior-like, so all my melees are usually female (and because i have a strange weakness for Xena).

    But the most important thing is: People may NEVER recognize myself when im playing alts. If they do because of the name alone, i change the name again.

    I already have reserved my names for the new classes, although im not sure about the stormbringer. I wanna design him like a creature of skandinavian folklore, so i might base the name fo that too with a mix of some food.
    I like potatoes <(O~O)>

    As the new classes are coming soon, inventing names for new characters becomes a hot topic for many.b:sweat

    How do you come up with your character names? Do you perhaps create your character according to some detailed scheme or just give it first name popping up in your mind? Or maybe some variation of class name?b:cute

    Kitty has a tendency to name her characters in her native language, usually including some pun or hidden meaning within.b:avoid

    Sometimes Kitty takes influence from some song names, sometimes from characterics of the class. Many Kitty's characters are made according to some themes and she's named them according to those themes.b:cute
    The upcoming classes Kitty's going to name with heavy influence from a certain band with affection towards scythes and reaper.


    You could name yours 3rd person or Third Person since that is the irritating fashion in which you talk b:shutup

    I started out random, but started naming characters in my Tribe's language.

    kowezi means "old man", and he looks it.
    Widoktadwat is actually my native name, meaning (rough translation) "plays well with others".

    I was foolish and named my cleric shortly after reading Eragon (before the crappy movie came out).

    That sounds difficult. Are you sure it works?

    main,my clerics was the name of my first toon on a previous game, along with my seekers and psychics,
    my blademaster was named after someone from the anime claymore
    my sin was named after my wife, and her first and last name are 13 letters so it cut off
    barb was something i kept makeing and kept deleting, *** barb, no one understands that so i gave him hot pink shining feathers and a duck

    my archer, all time favorite game
    MONSTER HUNTER

    as for y stormbringer AND duskshadow, i had to consult with sailormoon and teamfortress2
    i think ill name my moonfairy after the one from tf2, and my nightshaadow from sailormoon,
    the originals were going to be from sailormoon only, so i made 1 nd the name worked, went to alt account and someone already has Nehelenia, so i had to use tf2
