How do you choose your ingame names?

My first character in GW was called "Goddess Ate". She was an elementalist and I deleted her after a while for a free PvP-slot. Her name has been taken by someone else, I found out when I tried to make a PvP-char with my old name again.
Here is a screenshot of her while she was Etin-farming 1,5 years ago


PvE characters:
Ate of DK Ranger
Named after the ancient greek Goddess Ate. The DK part is a remain of my first Guild. The full name would be: Ate of the Dragon Knights

Healing Ate Monk
Named after the ancient greek Goddess Ate. She's a monk this time so I thought Healing Ate would fit

Daphne Lauraceae Necromancer
Called after Daphne from Greek Mythology who got turned in a Laurier-tree (a lauraceae)

PvP-characters:
Ate Ist & Daphne Ist [irre]
Both my standard PvE characters names but named according Guild-Rules.
As member of "Die Psychiatrie" we all have our name fitting to the tag [irre]. With is German for: Ate/Daphne is Crazy. Hence our Guild: The Psychiatry

I prefer that all my igns can be easily shortcuted like this:
Storm Clash - Storm, Amber Tear - Amber etc.
Also I trying to make it sounds good and easy to remember.

Only one hardpoint I made is my first char - Valor Morgulis ( its assassin, I take a name based on phrase from my favorite book serie - George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire - Faseless Men order pronounce it like "Valar morghulis" and I adopt it a bit =) )

I've always used puns for my names. Sometime they are based on band names sometimes just basic juvenile humour. I actually have a list some 100 names long for when I roll up new chars. Here are some examples:

Necro: Jehovahs Waitress (I still get IMs from people telling me to repent!)
Ele: Cream of the Crotch (Used for pure gross-out value. If I can make even one person say "yuck" when I walk by, I've done my job)
War: Cervix with a Smile (pure punnery there)
Monk: The Gaza Stripper (punny and political, but this name gets me some unwanted IMs from people who are even more juvenile than myself)

and a short list of names for characters I no longer have (note these are open to use, feel free):

Go Nad Go
Dyslexic Fcuker
Hold the Bone
Goon Squad Reject
Miracle Wimp
Mourning Would
Nat King Colon
Lee Harvey Keitel
Sinus Envy
REO Speed Dealer
Public Enema
I am Expendable
The Mall of Cthulhu

and my favourite/nastiest
Herpes Cineplex
Pabst Smear


-Enjoy

Same method here.

Jet = I'm a die-hard New York Jets fan.
[ ] = Generally something to do with the character's profession.
doc = My real life nickname.

Jet Wardoc, Jet Deathdoc, Jet Spiritdoc, Jet Nightdoc - they all roll off the tounge for me, and there's no mistaking what each of them do.

All my characters' names end with my own nickname, Peffy.

The first part of the name is usually a descriptive word.. for example, my ele is Arsonist Peffy
Monk = Priestess
Ranger = Arbalest
Warrior = Sgt Major
Ele = Arsonist
Necro = Maestro (conducting a symphony of minions =p)
Assassin = Orochiko (Japanese for "Little Hydra" or, by a stretch, "Stupid Little Kid")

The three characters I created with my three nightfall slots took a different approach - they used the names of relevant obscure war goddesses. (Thanks Wikipedia!!)
Mesmer = Nemhain (Irish goddess of panic)
Dervish = Iansa (Portuguese name for Oya, the Yoruba (African/West Indies) goddess of wind/tornado/hurricane - I used the Portuguese version because I had just recently discovered that I have a Portuguese ancestor)
Paragon = Nerio (Roman goddess of valor)

For the most part, my characters have these naming conventions:

Prophecies: Wacko turn of the century evangelists
Factions: Female Japanese adult film stars.
Nightfall: Egyptian names (I got lazy).

Well my primary character, my warrior. I just began one but the name sorta confused me since it had to have more then one word and so many digits. Shmanka is my actual last name so I put that in, error. OK more then one word? .. Shmanka The... This problem led me with 5 spaces left and since then has become my new nickname ingame and out. I looked at www.dictionary.com and placed my old Wc3 League acc name, then "Swift" popped up... to this day im refered as Swift, this was 11 months ago as well, so all those new "Swift's" are complete wanna bee's

Shmanka The Swift- Warrior~ My primary character
Swift The Legend- Ele~ named in the same fashion as my brother
Swift Imposition- Mesmer
Swift Footstep- Assasin
Shmanka The Pure- Monk~ didn't rename him since I made him as a mule 3 days after my warrior.
Alexa Spiritwalker- Ranger~I met a good friend through this game and named this ranger after her, a cute story how 8 pugs from around the world got into top 100 after a few weeks gvg'ing together for the first time.
Sarah Nightsiren- Necromancer~ "" ""
Swift Dervish- Dervish
Swift Paragon- Paragon
Lady Lionguard- Warrior~ My presearing dedicated character to help individual players in pre-searing if they are new to the game and concepts where I can introduce them to elements about the game.
Swift Alakazam- Ritualist ~ He is magic
PvP Swift- a pvp name I rotate around to fit classes

this was 11 months ago as well, so all those new "Swift's" are complete wanna bee's


I just had to reply- My warrior was made for the last beta weekend, and I was so anxious to get started that I couldn't think of a "good" name- So Sophie Swift was named after our cat.

Pearlie B. was named after my great grandmother and then I have my fun names- Kopah Kabanah, and Kopah Setick, my Canthan Rit and ranger duo.

My NF monk, Jahnee Makadoo, is from an Irish song- Johnny McAdoo, and he's a smiter!

ele - Xue Min (mandarin pingyin of my name)
ranger - Miyuji Hime (after the japanese singer Myuji >.> Mi meaning beautiful, yu brave, ji soldier, hime the honorific for princess)
monk - Yukitoshi Ryuu (japanese pronounciation of the chinese characters of my name with surname last)
necro - Eika Sakuramori (was going to be Eiko, but Eika sounded better with the surname which I incorrectly recalled from a CLAMP manga)
rit - Lia Sakurazuka (named after I'VE member Lia, surname was a modified version of previous)
assassin - Enma Sakurazukamori (actually messed up and used 2 surnames here i think XD first one from Jigoku Shoujo, second from a CLAMP series)
mesmer - Smurf Go Splat (a guild joke >.> )
derv - Saya Morinozuka (named after heroine of BLOOD+, surname from Ouran High Host Club)
para - Mi Yu Ji (same as ranger, felt it was better for a para/war, but i had plans for a name for my future warrior)

my mules are all Liu Xue Min (chinese name, surname first) with I's and L's after to denote number >.>

my names annoy the guildies greatly with my lack of a naming pattern XD

Well, all my characters have names ending Taurucis (clan name) and it's a pretty long story how I managed to cook that name up. Though many people who have tried to spell it haven't been able to spell it right. And now for my chars...

My warrior Kai: Wanted a name at least slightly similar to my real name. And "kai" means anger in Chinese.
My elementalist Gryphon: A Gryphon is a creature which is half lion and half eagle. I chose it because my brother asked me to.
My necromancer Cairn: I needed a good, dark, necromancerey name but couldn't make one up. After a while of thinking and killing random Mursaat bosses, I decided to name my necro after a Warrior boss I found named Cairn the Destroyer. The name sort of stuck, but most people call him Caim.
My ranger Ard Ri: The reason is quite silly. I was reading a book about Celts, and in the glossary it had a few Celtic words and their meanings. Ard Ri (with the correct tonations of course...) means "high king" but I'm not 100% sure.
My dervish Dragonstar: Made his name based on the naming of cats in the Warriors series (Dragonkit -> Dragonpaw -> Dragonflame -> Dragonstar) and there is also a character named Dragonstar in the series The Wayfarer Redemption.
My paragon Fallenstar: Made her name based on the Warriors series too. (Fallenkit -> Fallenpaw -> Fallentears -> Fallenstar)
My assassin Akarai: Somehow I managed to pick up a little bit of Japanese by reading Naruto manga. Her name is supposed to mean "Red Lightning" (aka = red, rai = lightning)

So mostly, I modify names out of books that I enjoy reading, or patch them together with non-English words.

Ranger: Beast Master Archer - Decided that name after reading GW guides and watching videos a long time ago.
Monk: Healing Quiver, was supposed to be a monk/ranger.
Warrior: Carbon Monoxide - kills you when you least expect it.
Dervish: Miss Kosynierzy - polish Scythe wielding peasants.
Paragon: Enchanted Love - just a random kinky name.

Wilhelm Mae, only character.

Wilhelm - My middle name.
Mae - Just a name that was in my head at the time.

for my PvE Characters i used stuff from movies and books

for my PvP Characters its normally somehting i see on my desk plus a few Mc's
Ex: Starburst taste yum

Ranger- Silhouette Eyes (I have used silhouette for a lot of different things, and for some reason love the word)
Necro - Megan Deathlove (Megan is my first name, deathlove because shes a necro)
Warrior - Poisoned Faith (Not entirely sure...thought it sounded cool at the time)
Monk - Elysian Seraph (means 'heavenly angel')
Assassin - Malefic Mistress (means 'deadly mistress')
Dervish - Dire Temptress (again, thought it was cool.)
Paragon - Exotic Seductress (I thought my paragon looked exotic, white armor, tanned skin, just worked.)

Basically, I do one of two things. I make the character and then decide on a name by looking at them for a while, or I try to find cool sounding words that have good meanings to relate to the character (like my monk and assassin)

I came up with my character name since I first started playing Counter Strike when it was still a mod for HL. It use to be widowmaker, then got shortened down by some friends in Medal of Honor to widow, then "da balla" part was added on later meaning "the baller". Yes I have little to no creativity or imagination so I've used the same name on every game i've played since lol

My ingame name is the one I use for all RPGs (that support knight/warrior type characters). The "Gemini Knight" portion has a very special meaning to me (I could go on for pages about it). The last part, Juno, comes from my favorite game of all time, Jet Force Gemini.

Gemini Knight Juno

Pvp Chars - Anonymous pvp char (Best name evar!!
- Scotch fingers (I like those biscuits)
- Reverie of sky (I dunno, something I thought of)

Pve chars -

Chapter 1 created: All named with an elvish theme. Elwing, Tari etc.

Chapter 2 created: Japanese themed

Chapter 3 created: Random names I thought by myself.

But the best of all? My main character is closely named after a brand of japanese rice wine. mmm :P

Each char's names were inspired by various things around me:

Monk: Charles Burkowski ~ I was reading a book called Confessions of a Man Insane Enough to Live with Beasts by Charles Bukowski and it just so happened to be on my desk as I was creating this char. But I misspelled it when I registered the name.

Necro: Lady Gallo of Devi ~ I came up with that name years ago when I wrote a short story set in Medieval England.

Ele: Axexia Bloodlin ~ My fiancee and I have always used the last name Bloodlin (from Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines ) when playing MMORPG games. Axexia is a name of a soft drink I once found in a japanese supermarket.

Mesmer: Walking Xunlai ~ I literally need a walking storage char that happens to be a Mesmermentalist (Me/E). It took my guildies a bit to realize the name and they just laughed there asses off.

Rit: Lady Ming Severus ~ Well, the char was from Canthan origin so she had to have some sort of Asian inspired name. And that was also around the time that I was reading the sixth Harry Potter book so it somehow came together.

War: Sai Huang Dai ~ Its suppose to translate into The Emperor of Death in old mandarine but I think I made a mistake somewhere.

Ranger: Alan Quartermain ~Modifed name of the fictional character from the book King Solomon's Mines (which was sitting on my shelf to the left of my computer when I was creating my ranger).

Derv: Amanita Virosca ~ Modified name of a poisonous mushroom called Amanita Virosa aka Distroying Angel.

Fantasy books for most of my chars part from my PvP character whos named after a Bunny from a webcomic

Well, I got the name EPIC from a friend after I had made my first character (Arbiter of Woe, a necromancer). Since then, everyname includes E P I C in it. For instance when I pvp, its "E P I C Pvp"


Unfortunately, someone ended up taking the name E P I C while I didn't have it one time, so all my PvE names require another word before or after E P I C.

Ranger: Anger Lioneye
My first char created, I deleted her and when factions came out, made her again. The name I created myself. Lioneye I used for my Ranger in Neverwinter nights. Anger... well... don't know. It's Ranger minus the 'R'.

Ele: Blue Meteor
Wanted to make an fire ele. They were hot those times, so something with meteors would be fun I thought. Blue because red was taken

Monk: Mya Tattoo
Made for farming, finished all chaps with her now though (so easy to get groups as monk). Mya is a name from NWN name generator, and tattoo, well, thats her armor.

Necro: Akasha The Cruel
Akasha became my Nick. The name is taken from a movie. Akasha is a vampire there, so I thought it kinda fits for a necro. But there are so many Akashas out there....

Ritualist: The Worst Rit Ever
Guess I watch to much Simpsons.. Used to be Worst Ritualist Ever, but I got stuck at the start, where one npc, who gives a quest so u can continue, didn't appear. Deleted her, renamed, went in again. Then the npc did appear. yay.

Paragon: Dont Shout At Me
Guess it was made in a funny mood. Paras work with shouts, so I thought it funny to call her like that.

PVP: X Akasha X
Like i said, Akasha became my nick, now every pvp char is named like this.

let's see here....

Shibo Matsu I've had since i played Prophecies beta, not sure how i came up with it though lol


Amestra Blackoak...Amestra came from the random name generator from Dark Age of Camelot for female nords >.>

Slirith Iceblood/Viktor Blackoak I've had since my Ultima Online days...was killing evil mage lords one day and saw the 2 names and was like "damn, those names pwn"

Kooh Libera.....Kooh from the character in Pangya Golf, Libera is from her backstory

- Shadiyah Aludra (p): i looked in google for arabic names, this one means 'virgin singer', great for a paragon.

Dr Baz – Prophecies male monk hence the ‘Dr’ part, Baz being my nickname

When Factions came out I wanted a Rit named ‘Rite of Passage’ but someone beat me to it. Rit didn’t last more than a week though, (which I now regret).

Then four more Factions characters keeping the ‘Rite’ theme going

Female Warrior – Rite Of Pacifism
Female Ranger – Rite Of Nature
Female Monk – Rite of Healing
Female Nero – Rite of Nekros, (Latin)


Just one Nightfall character:

Female Ele - Rite of Terra (as in Terra Firma)


All PVP characters have the ‘Rite’ theme as well, ‘Rite Incompetent’, Im Always Rite, (named after my wife), etc………………

Jecht Scye - Necromancer(Prophecies)
I used the name Jecht from Final Fantasy X. I just thought the name sounded cool so I used it as the first name. As for Scye, it's recurrent in all of my character names.

Ryo Scye - Assassin(Factions)
Not many people have seen this anime since it's really, really old. But Ryo was the name I got from the main character in the show Ronin Warriors known as "Ryo of the Wildfire".

Draykana Scye - Elementalist(Prophecies)
I have no Idea how I came up with this name. It just sounded cool I guess.

Isaaru Scye - Ritualist(Factions)
Also from Final Fantasy X, Isaaru is a Summoner so I chose this name for my Ritualist.

Kayla Scye - Monk(Factions)
Kayla is the name I want for a little girl if I ever have one some day. I think it sounds pretty.

Kyata Scye - Mesmer(Factions)
Another one of those names I just thought sounded cool

Isoka Scye - Ranger(Nightfall)
Isoko is an African tribe. I added an "a" in the back to make it sound more feminine. This ranger was made as a Nightfall character.

Aeneas Scye - Paragon(Nightfall)
Named for the Roman Hero Aeneas.

Anansi Scye - Dervish(Nightfall)
Named for the African Trickster Anansi the Spider. If you'd like to know the story then just google it

Tasca Scye - Warrior(Prophecies)
Named for the explorer Tasca of whom is famous for the area in the southern shiverpeaks "Tasca's Demise".

Edea Scye - Necromancer(Prophecies)
I've never taken this character out of presearing yet, but she's named for the Sorceress and Matron in Final Fantasy 8.

I know I have a hella lot of character slots :P

Covert Anarchist - female warrior - (Prophecies) - my first char and named because I was always getting called that during my union rep days. She got deleted.

Morrigan Havenholme - female warrior - (Prophecies) - Morrigan for the Celtic goddess of battle, strife and fertility and Havenholme because I wanted something that sounded "dwarvish"

Cryogenic Fireball - female ele - (Factions) - Cryogenic for the Guild name and Fireball after my pyromaniacal tendancies Also because I liked the juxtaposition of the 2; cryogenics - the physics of very low temperatures against fire.

Marsaili Sidheag - female ranger - (Nightfall) - Marsaili is the Scottish/Gaelic for "warlike" and Sidheag is the feminine for "Wolf"

Awesome I have another to join in on my brigade !!!

When I first started, I didn't have a common name, but the wording had to do with the type of character. Soon I started putting Sage (older and wiser) in the names along with something to do with the character type:

Sage Mind Control - Mesmer
Sage Medicine Man - Monk
Sage of the Forces - Ele
Sage of Deadly Arts - Necro
Cursed Sage - Necro
Lady Sage of Combat - Warrior
There are a bunch more

I try to come up with nature or ancient gods related names. Currently I like using herbs and spices as parts of my character's names. It kind of ties them all together while still giving a unique name.

Ranger: Perynne Walker (Perynne is a twisted around version of peregrine, a bird of prey. Walker indicates her love of exploring)
Ritualist: Rosemary Marron (Rosemary's Baby, anyone? Also a type of spice)
Assassin: Tomie Pepper (Tomie from Junji Ito's horror manga of the same name, Pepper for spice)
Monk: Inanna Snowblood (Inanna is an ancient goddess, Snowblood is one part Snow White and one part Lady Snowblood)
Dervish: Cassia Amunet (Cassia is a type of spice, Amunet is a goddess)
Mesmer: Lumi Rin (Lumi is snow in finnish)

I use my constant Vanguard theme so I can be easily found when in my guild and whatnot.
i should have been usernamed Vanguard, actually. CagedinSanity is a username i use on RTS/FPS forums.. Not exactly fitting for here.

For my prophecies characters i called them something with the name "Mcmullen" in and had a revelant prefix or a thingy at the end.
For my factions characters, i just stole the names from Korean footballers..
And for my Nightfall characters i just called them "Phil" but with a prefix (Just Phil and Unenthusiastic Phil)

Oh, and i called my PvP char "Some Beasty Guy" after being struck by a lack of creativity.

My first character was Durge Ironbreak, Durge is basically Dirge with a "u" instead of an "i" which makes it more name-like and a somewhat rugged sounding name which is good for a warrior. His surname was just something generic that seemed to fit the bill.

My ranger started as a PvP character that was made whenever I needed one and used to be called String Theory which seemed like an apt name for a ranger and somewhat humorous, When I remade my ranger for PvE I changed the name to Adv String Theory ( Adv = Advanced ).

After that it's all about the Penguins.

In PvP I used to for a while run an orders necro which at the time I called Juliette Suicide which seemed apt for a character that sacrifices thier life and being a fan of Shakespeare there was a certain sense of humor there too. Well after a while due to changing PvP character that name was stolen from me so I had to come up with something new. While thinking up a new name my mind strayed off at a tangent as it often does and I found myself wondering " ... if Death ( as in the grim reaper ) had a pet what would be the most unusual as well as amusing pet Death would have ?? ". In my musings I decided that the most improbable pet death would have would be a Penguin. The image of Death standing there in a tattered cloak with a Scythe, you know the classic Death image, while at his feet stood a Penguin looking up at him made me chuckle and thus was born "Deaths Penguin" which turned out to be the start of something that just seemed to take on a life of its own.

While PvP'ing, a PUG who had joined the guild group I was in on TS for the ToPK Halls ( long before HA ) run asked " why the name ? ". Before I had chance to repond the guild leader chimed in and stated that it was because I was a Penguin Farmer and that I lived in Antarctica and farmed Penguin for thier meat. For some reason the rest of the guild that was on TS decided to back up this statement and elaborate on it to the point where this poor PUG was convinced that I was indeed a Penguin Farmer. As you can imagine this joke took on a life of its own and it was not long til people started calling me " Penguin Man " or just " Penguin ". As a aresult I decided to continue this trend with all my other characters.

My Monk I wanted to call Emergency Medical Penguin but it was too long so settled for Doctor Penguin. I have since made a new Monk called Profylactic Penguin becuase even in GW you need protection !!

My Nuke was called Pyro Da Penguin which has again been remade as Protonic Penguin. Originally I wanted to call m y nuke " Tactical Nuclear Penguin " but again it was too long.

My Mesmer is called Hypno Penguin.

My Assassin is called N I N J A Penguin ( because Ninja Penguin was already taken ).

My Ritualist is called Schitzo Penguin.

My Dervish is called Dizzy Penguin ( its all that spinning !! )

And finally my Paragon is called Prototpe Penguin

Crysania Majere - female Tyrian ele. Kinda bastardized a fictional character from the Dragonlance Legends series of fantasy novels. They were ome of my favorite books when I was growing up. That and all the combinations of Raistlin and Fistandantilus were already taken.

Harrison Bergeron - male Tyrian ranger. Character from a Kurt Vonnegut short story of the same name. He was so much smarter and stronger than the rest of the population he was handicapped by the gov't so that he was equal.

Schaden Freude - female Tyrian monk. I split the German word Schadenfreude in two. It means pleasure taken from someone else's misfortune.

Xia Sohei - male Canthan warrior. Basically means knight-like warrior monk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xia_%28philosophy%29 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sohei

Izanami Shikome - female Canthan necro. Japanese goddess of death. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izanami and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikome

Xysto Phoros - male Elonian paragon. After Alexander the Great's death the Macedonian cavalry was named Xystophoroi (Xystophoros in singular, literally "spear-bearer") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xyston

hilarious list :up:

If LA 1 is any indication, I'd say most players just bash their faces against the keyboard and accept whatever comes up....

I've literally seen someone with the name of "asfdasfdasfd asfd"

that and the correct spelling of "Assassin" seems to be out of the realm of comprehension to 99% of guild wars players...

Hmm... In Diablo, had a druid, Canis Lupis, who was obviously a shapeshifter. Came to GW, decided to go with Canis Major for my first ranger... alas, it was taken, so I tweaked the spelling to Canus Major. From then out, all my characters are Canus *.

First Mesmer - Canus Minor
Necro - Canus Requiem

etc.

Ah... and Canus Major's pet spider? Syrius.

some friends of mine were big fans of that shitty kidcartoon dragonball z, they got really irritated when i called their favorite show donkeyball z.. umm yeah thats it.

lol thats me...when i made my 1st assasin i put assin :P got to lvl 11 and couldnt cope..so i restarted..

i mainly just look around my room til a name pops in my head.

http://www.behindthename.com/

boo yah baby! i choose names by searching for meanings.

monk: janan obi (soul, heart)
paragon: aniela serafim (angel, fiery one)
dervish: sefu al uzzah (sword, god)
warrior: tau faiz (lion, victorious)
necro: anastazi libitina (ressurection, goddess of death)
rit: tien om (spirit, sacred syllable)
ele: cassia raiden (type of spice, thunder and lightening)
ranger: zuberi arash (strong, legendary archer)

My male characters always have the name Kattox as part of it e.g. Kattox Deathbane, Kattox Windblade, Ominous Kattox etc.
I got Kattox from a "fast as a cat strong as an Ox" kind of thing. I later found out it was a spanish herbal laxative and a german car lubricant or somethig along those lines... meh.

I just make up my character's names!

I try to give them names that sound and fit in a video game.
