same old crap, you can't see the difference between the names except Felix The Charr. All other names are just Brr Ttrr oiuurr tktk lffkfkrr or some shit.

I'm sure Felix the Charr sounded better in Dutch, German, or French, whichever the person who submitted from Belgium spoke. If he submitted it like that in english....

::edit::My favorite would have to Molotov Rocktail, I looked at it for a bit before I realized why it sounded so familiar, then lol'd. Thought it was pretty clever.

Yeah... there's going to be ~7400 people who weren't recognized (including myself) who will all be exclaiming, "WTF?! _That_ name is better than mine?!?"

Of the winners, my personal favorite is "Johon the Oxflinger" (even though it is quite similar to "Yakslapper"). "Felix the Charr" wins my "Puzzled Look Award" for why it got chosen top 10.

Molotov Rocktail wonder what his green will be... Molotov's cocktail, a fire magic offhand?

Felix the Charr is obviously a joke in reference to Felix the Cat....

Lol exactly what I was thinking. This guy probably entered the name just for sh*ts and giggles and finds out he won and goes "WTF?!"

This is pretty similar as to when the shitty badger cape was a winner that time.

Molotov Rocktail, I sure hope the guy who thought of this one didn't lose too much sleep when changing one letter of an explosive.

Apart from that there's certainly some very Charr sounding name, by that I mean random words containing Z's as opposed to S's and alliteration in the first name and surname.

and to stay on topic......the only way i can think of choosing Felix The Charr must have been because they where so high it was hi-freakin-larious at the time.

I don't mind that I wasn't chosen even for the finals, but heck tell me which you'd prefer, Kubrit Lavaspawn (Kubrit is gunpowder in my language) or.... Felix?

Anyways, I still would have BY FAR preferred one of the honorables or even finalists. No offense to the sender but that just isn't a good name for a charr imho.

Hmmm how would Felix The Charr's green be named?

'Felix The Charr drops The Felix, which your party reserves for...'?

The name is funny and all... :P

But since when do monsters have their own monster-type in their names? I think A-Net will change this a bit, really. Like 'Felix The Charred' (Doesn't go too far from the original, and DOES sound good imo )

man the felix part of the name is just wrong. Imagine the other charr calling him...

I bet he'd kill his mom as soon as he sees what a stupid name he has.

EDIT: Listen up Anet. You can't create a boss named felix the charr cos that's MY character name! (just created it now lol)

Sry to agree Anet, but when I read some of the names, I do feel the same way as the above comments that have been stated.

Molotov pretty much annoys me the most, It is clever, but how long did it take to change that "C" into a(n) "R"...seriously...lol

I mean Ive entered some of the contests in the past and stopped bcuz in the end most of the winning entries from the different kinds of contests just baffles the mind. (Im not saying they were bad, most of them were good be it a design or name, I just know everytime I entered I knew mine was original)

If I only knew that I could use the most simplest words, change them into GW-related and entered them, I would probably have a better chance of winning.

Overall, its Anet's choice and they have the right to choose w/e. So no biggie.

/no offence

Gordam Griefgiver
Gallow Nooseknitter

I thought Felix the Charr was hilarious. It's way better than all the names that are just 4 different words compounded together. I mean heres one off the top of my head Grimsmash Rubblethorn. It's dull.

In case you don't realize it's a play on Felix the Cat.

I know Felix the Charr is a play on Felix the Cat. That doesnt make it any better. It's very unoriginal. Molotov Rocktail was the best, even if it's just a single letter changed. I can imagine it perfectly on a boss. Felix the Charr is just WTF. It must sound better in another language.

One of the finalists had Razortongue in it.
Did everyone at Anet have a spaz and forget there's a Razortongue in the game already?

Oh and some of those names are truly lame. But at least there are some good ones in the list.

Actually Felix is the ONLY name I like from the list - sounded sweet the first time i went though the names and is the only one I will remember.
Sweet entry!

some pretty cool names. molotov rocktail is pretty cool
felix the char must be a referance to felix the cat....bad referance though

theres some really bad names that got through though. mostly because there bad copies of others.

Gallow Nooseknitter - lol that made me laugh
Fenyr Dreamseer - reminds me of fenyr off harry potter, i like the name fenyr
Caretaker of the Shadows- tooo long
Gunther Ironfist - ironfist...bleh, i didnt like this one. my mates got ironfist in his characters name. he made it in prophecies and people think its a referance to nightfalls ironfist

My entry was "Nlarg The Nihilist"

I think anet didn't pick mine because I didn't think they would know what a Nihilist was so I put the definition in my entry. I think because I put in the definition the person judging my name got upset and just threw my name aside because they were mad.

I really do wonder if anyone submitted a name such as Chuck Norris. I know for a fact if I were to be the judge that would be the only name i'd choose, the rest would go in the bin.
