Novelty Names

Am i the only one mildly annoyed by novelty names? I know a lot of people have them, but still. I just think actual names are better. Am i the only one that cringes a bit when they see a character named "Narutos Son" or "Leggo Ma Eggo" or "Robotic Dalmation"?

What are you talking about?

Xxxnarut O X

I LOVE THEM NAMES

It's a game. WHo gives a flying GO RED MOFO ENGINE about another persons name. Seeing Legolas etc on rangers just makes me go "doh!"

Yes, I think you may be the only one who gets annoyed by what people call themselves over the internet.

Meh, I could care less if people name them selves that way. Btw, @ Powerful White Man, both Yukihiro and Chigusa are pretty common names for the japanese...

No it doesn't annoy me. As a matter of fact, I've got a couple characters with "novelty names." Dora Explora and Spongy Was Bob. Do I care what people like the OP think about them? Only when someone calls my Warrior "Dora The Explora." Her middle name is MILLICENT, dammit!

lol, i hope nobody gets offended at my name

i'ma monk in pvp with the name "Gotta Rez Cobain"

nirvana ftw

Naw, they don't really annoy me. I do sometimes wonder, though, how someone with a character with a very silly/stupid name...can actually take the character seriously and work on it.

I'm only annoyed if people make lame names. I'm looking at you, Xx N A R O O T O Xx and Il Leggolus Il. You could at least try to be original.

why do u care what ppl call thier characters?

Break My Hymen is still my favorite GW name

Does that count as a novelty name?

You mean you don't like seeing No Strangers To [LOVE]?

I hate unoriginality.
People who name thier characters like "Aragorn", "Eragon", "Legolas", "Drizzt", "H P O T T E R" and shit, I hate.

On topic : Naruto-like names are everywhere but I don't care about it, to me annoying names are : "[someone] Goes Mes" for example... like people care about it.

Sheesh, I guess I'm the only one who agrees with the OP; names like that can definitely be annoying. I'll excuse really clever ones, ones that make me laugh, but unoriginal and/or just crappy, "The Pwninator" kind of stuff is just annoying. Anyone who talks to me with one of those IGNs is immediately ascribed a hyper-little-kid voice.

I am not annoyed by such names, but a name can tell something about the person behind a character :P

Chigusa is most definitely NOT a common Japanese name.

Novelty names are where the creativity is imo :P

Ah, I feel bad about novelty names. I usually work hard on suspension of disbelief in games, I really try to believe in the fiction, and I just can't believe that a warrior born in a fantasy world could be called "Shizzle Ma Nizzle" or something like that. I'm ok with anagrams, though. All my char's names are anagrams of my real name, and while they don't make any sense, it's still better than "XXX O Lord Rezzor O XXX" or something like that.

With millions of Games sold.... not everyone can be "John Smith" or "Sarah Miller".
