Yes, unoriginality. I hate it, I mean.
Especially all those disgraces to assassins with references to a horrible anime in their name.

Angelus...
One of my favorite things is taking a normal word in English, Angel in my case, and finding the word in another language and using that as a base for my name. Angel = Angelus in german.
I then add something to do with the profession the caracter will be.
The final product looks like this.
Monk = Angelus The Sacred
Assassin = Angelus The Shadow
And so on.....
Now PvP, that where I have a little fun with my names

I'm not particularly bothered, but names with the word 'noob' are just irritating cos they seem to be everywhere I look, and like the word itself its very old.

I will be honest.
I made a female Para strictly for AB last night - "I Ab For Ectos"
She's currently using a sword, and cautery signet. Fear.

I have seen a few player names that kinda anoyed me.
Such as trying to invite a certain player with the name "llllll llllllll"
Mostly I just try to make my own names sound good, some are more original than others....

Neo Nugget
I have a mix of names, Neo Nugget is what I named my warrior, because that's what someone called me at school a few years ago, inside joke :P
A few are inspired by real world things, like,
my mesmer is Dancing Mad.
Ones i made up myself.
Ele: Shin Darkrunner
Necro: Zarbok Painseer
and a lot others.
Just made one named Companion Cube FTW
Some names I see are really funny, and creative.

And yes, I will say, I am fine with some novelty names. I was just a bit annoyed when i was in a group with 3 people who all had alternatives to "Naruto", so i made this topic. Xx Xx, Il Il, and names that said something like "I will beat you" were also beggining to bug me And as response to that one dude who was commenting on annoying asian names, Yuki means snow in japanese, and hiro is a common name ending. I named him so because i planned on giving him all white armor, which i did. I also gave him a white tiger. Chigusa is just a tribute to my favorite person from "Battle Royale" |
Here's some more I remember:
Even Captain Of Titanic Said [LaG]
We Dont Accept [Visa]
Frawress Victoly
Dont Drop Da [Soap]
| Grawls Gone Wild | [gRwl]
It's awesome when these kind of names pop op on your screen, I can't help but get a good laugh.
some guy
don't forget about
xx naruto assassin cool i pwn you n00b you suck xx
in RA

Funny names (we don't have the same sense of humor but come on, you can detect when something will not be funny) are good.
Names like X I Uchiha Naruto I X or things like that are bad because it's illogic xD. If you are going to name your character after a movie/manga, at least follow the story and don't give him bad mix-matched names...

i generally don't dislike novelty names except the Xi iwantthatnametoo XX sort.
most of my chars have a firstname either thought of by myself or from a book-character i liked and a last name i thought of myself (combine random letters and see whether it sounds good)
hm... did you look that up in ancient german? because in contemporary german you'd translate angel with "Engel"

I got no problems with people who name their toons wierd names, especially since I don't know what the hell a naruto is.
All I know is that there is one name in GW that I covet, and every day before I log in, I check to see if that other person has stopped using it by trying to create a toon.

eh, the only thing that really annoys me with names is when they cant spell, or just changed the spelling so they could get the name that was already taken. Outside of that, I could really care less. Although in GvG, it makes it quite confusing when the other team goes for almost carbon copy names.

Always gets a smile.
No, I like to see creative names, it is the hundred and one variations on Legolas that get me, or people who have a name like Grim Rreapper because Grim Reaper had already been taken.
I have a mix, some sound like a real name, some obviously not, though I don't have any funny ones. Don't think I could put the time into a character with a comedy name.
Get a little tired of being asked about my Sasori though; no it isn't anything to do with any Anime.
Perkunas
Some names make me chuckle. Some are, where did that come from? Then you get those occasional, Who wants someone named "L***y F**ts for a healer?
Name them as you wish, it is a game.

Has anyone here actually met people with names like Chuck Norris, Austin Powers, and, of course, David Dickinson?
I know for a fact the first two are taken, and I've seen pretenders to the throne like Xx Austin Pohwers Xx.
But has anyone met the originals?

i saw a guild on another game called "DARK SWAT DRAGONS"
Esprit
Names are names, and people are free to do whatever they please.
With that said, I cringe at the names with the X's and I's.
When GW first came out, I tried Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, but, alas, they were already taken. It would have been one of those Novel Names, but I think it would have been awesome. Maybe Anet removes the more famous names from games.

Ahhh I lovelovelove all the misspellings ingame. 'Worriers' and ' Devine Angles' and 'Assasians'... makes me smile every time I see them.
I like that people name themselves things like xXx Naruto xXx, or Ima Pwn Joo, or Secksy Ele Gurl - it's like a nice helpful neon sign that says 'AVOID ME'. People say you can't judge a book by its cover, but ingame I beg to differ.

I don't hate novelty names, I love them...
but I do hate knock-off names and cheap copycats... originality is not expensive.

I used to make up my own character names but that turned out to be to much work. Now I rip off NPC names like the lazy bastard that I am.
Chicken of the Seas
Oh, I'd say my name really is old, and cliche, and novelty, but when I first tried to get it I was really surprised it wasn't taken (Sue Aside). Its probably up there among Mike Crotch and other dumb name words. 
Guess I mainly took it because it was actually available?
Mr. Undisclosed
I really, really wanted Richard Cranium :/
Anyways, names don't effect you or game play so who cares what people name their characters after? Personally though I don't like ones with X's and O's in em'

Good novelty names give me a laugh, knock offs and lazy names often are chosen by immature players.

If I'd thought of it at the time I would have asked 'him' to customise something for me.
$hade.
It's an online video game...Why else wouldn't put novelty names in? xD . Then again I just don't like the look of those kinda names. I like using unique ones that represent myself.

Novelty names are fun, as are names stolen from pop culture, as long as they have relevance to the game character in some way.
But I can't stand those unimaginative 'X Obviously Misspelled Name Here X'
variations.
My tiny blonde femsin is 'Le Petite Mort'. (The Little Death, also a French expression for orgasm)
My PvP slot is 'One More Character', which coincidentaly is what the naming screen tells you when you type it in.
I used to have a male mes named 'Nom De Plume'. (Assumed Name)
My femwar survivor is named 'Jiera Amzinas'. (Life Eternal)
I also have several characters named after characters from the Discworld novels.
