Ok, a bit of a silly topic, but I know many people do this.

What names, if any, have you chosen for your Nightfall characters? I'm interested in seeing what some people come up with.

the two I have reserved are:

The Thorn Eater (Dervish)
The Sun Eater (Paragon)

anyone else?

I doubt anyone has the name I want for my Dervish, but I'm still keeping it a secret just in case. For my paragon, I have not planned a name yet.

I have Divine Lenneth for Dervish and Celestial Luminary for Paragon. Probably going to change the Paragon name though... sounds a bit too stuffy. I typically name my characters after favorite characters in other games, anyway

I haven't decided yet. Lol! And it'll take me at least an hour to choose a name. It always does. That's why I am not starting a new character in NF the first weekend. My monk that I made in GWF uses the name that was my "PvP name", but since I always played prot monk, I actually had ~6 skill points on the PvP character when I deleted it and rolled it into a PvE.

Armarathyne Gideon - Dervish

Its already reserved but if someone takes it within the short gap that I am making my character then they can have it. I have a few other names I've never used.

Names are locked to your account for about an hour after the character is deleted. Someone stealing your name shouldn't be a problem if you don't spend over an hour deciding on the character's appearance

Wow, thats good to know. Thanks for telling me.

I plan to figure out appearance first then going deleting the character and remaking because sometimes I have trouble deciding and end up taking a break for some fresh air then coming back and choosing. Normally this isn't a problem in Guild Wars because of the pathetic ammount of choices.

Who knows, maybe they will surprise us and make a few new ones for the release.

I've really no need to reserve them; the names I'm thinking of aren't something that someone else can easily come up with out of the blue, although that did happen with my original Assassin name, to my great surprise(and NO it had nothing to do with Naruto). I guess someone out there had my similar tastes in asian names.

Anyhow I think I'm safe and sound for Nightfall.

I started naming my PvP character Concealed Light, not to reserve it, but to remember it for my upcoming Derv.

I got my Dervish name reserved: Lump Beefrock. It's from one of the better MST3K's "space mutiny".

Just one name reserved in a disposeable character. Female Paragon named: Nephthys Anuket

I have a few ideas for the male Dervish I'm going to make. That way if one or two get taken, I have a couple to fall back on. No big deal. But I gotta have that name for me Paragon!

I think for paragons best fits commander/Gods names, so I reserved "Hektor of Troia" for my male paragon. I noticed also that all the roman/greek names of fameous generals where already taken (that was 3 months ago).

Mmmm, names...

*ahem* Sorry, I was somewhere else entirely...

Ok, names for nightfall, eh?

I had a thread on this up on my guild's message board, (not open to the general public, tyvm ) and the feeling is that while my guildmates are gonna stick with their naming conventions, they're gonna have a more african flavour to em, (no imagination, some people.) As for me, I've got in mind some names with a distinctly Germanic flavour to them. Erika Ixionus is one name I have reserved and I've been playing around with names like Klaus, Magnus, Rosa, Nikkolai, (branching off into more of a Russian etc style, but hey, variety is the spice of life, as they say,) as well as a few names that came out of nowhere. For one, I think a Male Dervish called 'Zacharias' something or other would rock, it just seems to me, the sort of name that is ideal for a scythe weilding zealot

Also to note that across 18 character slots and countless characters, I've never had trouble coming up with a unique name, although the 'Sapphireblade' family is starting to get quite large
