When i was beginner in the game and wanted to make a warrior, i wanted to name him Arthas...holy crap i tried every sensible mode fore his name and all of them was out alrdy. after half an our i though...wtf am i doin? do i want such a clearly retarted name? Nope..lets just play with casters, they are more fun for me anyway.
There are funny novelty names, like that dervish i saw 1 day, Santa Clous and he wore a red-dyed istani armor...and there are dump, even annoying ones, which just ruins the feeling of a mature game in some cinematics.

My mesmer who is also my main, is S C H A L A. If you get the reference, good for you. If you don't, you're just not old enough to have played one of the greatest games ever.

I dunno, I loved Chrono Trigger and the name fits my character.

"Hadoken" does come from the 8-bit theatre, although it was inspired by Street Fighter's HADOUKEN

I see you around Doomlore all the time, lol. And yes, CT is an awesome game.

Novelty names can be fun if they are creative. I've had my monk for 2 years with the name 'Joanie Loves Chachi'. Granted she was mainly used for pvp so their wasn't much of a problem.

I laugh everytime that I see someone try to copy it!

My real life friends and I used to know a real creep in high school. Upon some late night web perusal, we discovered his alias on some strange, erotic 1920s roleplaying board.

I took the opportunity and created a PvP Mesmer with his moniker.

And the name you ask? Jacob DeVillain.

Lots of people in Guild Wars apparently. Rather silly if you ask me.

I've got a couple of Novelty Names I guess. Nevermore Owns Us..Band Nevermore. Great band. Hug Me Im Cute Girl..pretty explainable. Nauty Nurse Porlest..much like the last one.

But the best name ever? Lotr names, well just one. Leggomaeggolas.

So yeah, no it doesn't bother me.

Nevermore are indeed a great band, I can't wait for them to get back in the studio, saw them live with Opeth and both bands were astounding live.
