Ugh. I take this as a sign that GW:EN is gonna be full of these witty little pop culture referances, I just don't like them. There were far too many in Nightfall. It's hard to take it semi-seriously with all these jokes.

Bah, I didn't even get mentioned...

i think my reference to magic the gathering was a good one and synergized well with the GW world

anyway... i think the green of Felix will be The Felixenator

Greatpound Meathammer is awesome, I think that person should have entered that in cause it's hilarious for some reason.
The Gurdam one was made funnier by lyra. I don't care about the others.
I would have entered, Danis Minklespanker. That's a win name.

awww... My name Schnokums the Cute did not win. I figured it would make a good Charr name.
Felix the Charr is awesome, I hope he sings his theme song as he is kicking our butt. Also he needs to drop green bags called "Bag of Tricks".

I understand Felix the Charr..
but Molotov Rocktail?
Lame.
"Oh hey,heres the next entry."
"...Molotov Rocktail."
"..."
"So he switched one letter of Molotov Cocktail?"
"..."
"GENIUS!"
Excuse me while I go put Eye Brows on the Mona Lisa and become an internationally renouned artist.

Bag of tricks would be awesome for his drop, but it sounds like an alternative to the regular Charr Bags from presearing.

Well, seeing the results, my entry of "Braghh The Brutal" seems too serious. I should have done "Shitname Mcblahblah" or "Deonidas The Spartan". Because apparently bad names and terrible pop references win this thing.
MrTumnus
Molotov rocktail i find was a clever entry. If i'd entered I probably would have submitted something like "O Grrrr", or maybe "Brr Grr King"...i'm not that creative just trying to think of things :P and i never have apiece of paper or someone who really cares about it around to hear it when i do.

I laughed out loud at Molotov Rocktail.

i don't remember exactly what mine was but i was trying to tie those bastards down to actually naming a boss rodgort because i like the trogdor reference. i think it was like...'rodgort the incinerator' or something.

Molotov Rocktail made me laugh, Felix the Charr, not so much.
Btw how much harder is it to change one letter as well as change "Cat" to "Charr". Why not name one Scooby Don't next? Or Heath Mountain, refering to Heathcliff. Or Gar Field. Or get the Trekkies in and name one Khan Wrath. Then we can get Star Wars in and have one named Jabba The What, or Only One for Obi-Wan, or Yo Da Asura for Yoda (he can drop a lightsaber! zomg!). The possibilities are endless...
There are already several references to Trogdor with the spells Mark of Rodgort, and Rodgort's Invocation, and supposedly there was a trainer named Rodgort but was removed....

Molotov Rocktail is awesome as is Felix the Charr

Well, my boss made the finalists so I'm not really gonna complain about the ones that won it. A-net seems to have a preference for 'funny' names though. And teh funneh is in the eye of the beholder so not arguments there.
I just hope they don't put all those top 10 names in the game because this is supposed to be an RPG (Role-Playing). And when you're supposed to be fighting some great evil that's gonna destroy all life there shouldn't be alot of bosses with funny names running around, kinda breaks the role-play element.
My boss' name was Ulver Soulshriek btw.

We'll never know the true names of the bosses we beat, we will always have to be satisfied with the nick they get due their in game activities

I guess it does sound kinda similar, but I got my inspiration from something else. Glad you liked the name! ^_^

I was very hopeful that my entry had a chance of at least an honourable mention this time.. but clearly not LOL.
My try was:
Scorner MacBones
It's an anagram of Necromancer Boss.
Oh well, never mind.
Congratulations to all the winners.

This, to me, almost looks like a random drawing. Some of the names are great, others...not so much. They had me scratching my head thinking, "this is the best they could get out of 7500 entries?"
Of course, this is ultimately Anet's decision and their choice.

I assume that at least 50% of gw sales come from US market otherwise it's not good to piss off participants from other countries that don't have even 1 entry in finalists list...

Honestly though, Felix the Charr and Molotov Rocktail? Where's the wit and subtlety?

I'm still waiting for Gaile to come and post in this thread that they screwed up the list of finalists and that they need to put up the real list.

Congrats to the winner.
By my count 1 of 10, 6 of 20 and, 17 of 100 of the names for the winners/HM/finalists chosen had an N or later letter. I heard about a study recently where names that come in the first half of the alphabet tend to do better and this seems to correlate with that. Now I ask why.
Did the names that are N or later truely stink in general?
Were there fewer names that had an N or higher?
Or as I'm guessing, where the submitted names alphabetized such that by the time people got past M, they didn't have many votes left to cast?
