Two things:
Posting your oh-so-clever names is a great way to convince someone else to take them, if you haven't reserved them.

And it's not like it's hard to make something up. Seriously.

No, I lied, there's a third thing:
If you're going to use a name in a foreign language - you know, for that special je ne sais quoi - be sure to spell it right, damnit. Seriously. It makes you look extremely ignorant when your little avatar is a walking typo. And if it's Latin, for god's sake, get the grammar right! I shudder when I see non-agreeing or improperly declined Latin names.

Like yours, for example Unholy Guardian - Dark Reaper would be ater messor. Not atrum (which is neuter), because messor is masculine. And acerbus would be better than ater, IMO. But it's your choice.

Atrum Messor is a form of Dark Reaper.

My personal favorite is Acerbus Mortis

... but it's wrong.

Messor is a masculine noun. For use in a name, it needs to be in the nominative case, which it is. That's the Reaper part.

Ater (dark / gloomy) is the adjective we need. The correct form needs to match both case, number, and gender of the noun it is describing. In this example, Messor, that would be nominative, singular, and masculine. Atrum is neuter, and you cannot have a neuter adjective form for a masculine noun. Ater is the correct form. Atrum Cubiculum, yes. Atrum Messor? Vehemently not.

ADDED: I just realized, Acerbus Mortis is wrong too. Mortis is in the genitive case, for one thing, and it's feminine for another. So it should be Acerba Mors.

I already have a character called A Ritualist and have 2 PVP characters reserved as A Dervish and A Paragon. I think that they are very original, just like my The Primeval King name.

As for me, all my names are taken from the universe of The Silmarillion(tm). Most persons only know The Lord of The Ring(tm), so I do not have too much difficulties getting a name. For example, Maedhros The Cursed.

I'm just slightly ranting here, GRR my pvp name was stolen! I always call my pvp char R A C and I usually just have him sit there reserving the name. I forgot to recreate him a while back and now he is gone.

As for names for the new classes, I've got a few ideas, but I'm not stupid enough to reveal them on a forums, lol. Atleast, not before I reserve them.

I doubt I will make a dervish for a while. I know just what to name the paragon though. Part of my Scots clan seal, which is in latin and will be perfect. No, I will not say what it is since I don't have the ability to reserve it at this point in time. If it is already taken, that's fine the person will likely be a distant relative or something. Either that or I might just go with what my full given name means, it would also be good possibly a little cheesy though!
