How did you name your character?
Leather Square
I'm just curious because I never find a proper name.
own age myname
my first characters name is "Own Age Myname".
First thing I thought of was "Own Age thats myname". Just compressed it down.

By looking up names of Celtic Deities on the Internet or in some Celtic Mythology books. Most of the names have some connections to the GW profession, like Arduinna: Goddess of forests and hunting for a Ranger.

I made a pun with mine.
Assassins are abbreviated sins, and a sin is a broken rule/law.
So, in short: Beg for forgiveness for your transgression = my name.

Raymond Varis - Raymond (just because) and Varis (Gee-Pop Varis from Morrowind's Mournhold expansion)
Blaire Everest - Blaire (I thought of Claire, but that sounded too girly) Everest (The only "Ever" thing that doesnt sound elf'ish)
Evening Reader - Evolved from Freeky Reeder which was a random name I thought up of while making a pre-sear necro
Father Nicodemus - Father (because in my story the villagers see him as kind of a pastor.) Nicodemus (just because)
Agent Strawberry - Because the default red dye at the time looked pink like strawberry milk, Assassin (This lead to many members of my guild having Agent [Fruit] names for the Factions Beta)
Daniel The Villager - He's a villager, and he kinda makes me think of the Bible
Clarice The Bridely - Clarice (because someone said it in M*A*S*H which I watched that day) also she's Daniel's wife.
Wendy Allyson - Used to be an ele named Wendy Wispwind (WWW plus all winds) now she's a Mesmer. Allyson, just because.
It's for the most part just me thinking of names, none were too inspired. Though they all fit into my story:
Raymond married Blaire -> Then they adopted Evening "Reader" Everest who had run from her family because she fell in love with her brother.
Evening marries Joseph Everest -> She finds out she was adopted by the Everests in the first place so he wasnt really her blood brother.
Nicodemus admits to being Blaire's father -> Before the Everests adopted her aswell.
Crazy stuff like that. I later looked up the meanings of these names and they all fit. The craziest is Blaire, means "from the fields" or something which is precisely where she's found in the beggining of the story. Unintentional but awesome. I have a lot of luck with coming up with names.

Konker2020
I've been known as Konker online for some time now, so I just stuck with that, every character is named accordingly:
Konker I "Primary Prof", for example...
Konker I War
Konker I Ran
Konker I Mon
etc.

Look up the wiki bosses lists for the profession you want to make, mix around some names untill you get something good. Ignis The Pestilent from Ignis Effigia and Vyrrgis the Pestilent. Alitta Shepard from Alitta Guilebloom and Shepherd of Dementia.
Operative 14
Count Operoe (E/x - Prophicies): An abbreviated version of my gaming name Operative 14. The 'Count' comes from an old family title (yay!) we had recently discovered then. My first character on my account. I had made another character on a friends account to try the game, and that characters name was Count Opereo, same thing just that I was making this character while the knowledge that he had been deleted was going through the server and I couldn't use the name. :/
Count Darktan (W/x - Prophicies): 'Count' became my signature name, Darktan is the name of a leader from a Terry Pratchet book. And no, the character is quite pastey.
Countess Reapera (D/x - Nightfall): My first lady character, Countess carried over, and Reapera is like a feminine form of Reaper I came up with.
Countess Oriona (R/x - Nightfall): Named after Orion, the constellation of an archer, and it also has Egyptian conotations that I always associated with new characters in Nightfall.
Countess Aurumluna (M/x - Nightfall): Named after a friends monk which I greatly admired (the same friend who lent me their account). Their character is Goldmoon, I just translated it to Latin and called her Aurum(Gold) Luna (Moon)
Countess Aneiontei (A/x - Factions): Named after another friends Assassin, we were sort of trying to create twin characters. Their name was Shadowstep, mine is a loose Japanese translation. Anei(Shadow I think) Ontei (Step - though a musical meaning, not as in walking)
Countess Necrosia (N/x - Nightfall): She's a Necromancer, basically the same deal as with Reapera. Put a feminine twist on the professions name.
There have been a slew of other characters, both PvE and PvP that I've deleted since I've started. The two that stand out are:
Countess Nehkebet (P/Mo I think): Named after an Egyptian goddess of..umm.. health and support I think.
Count Khonsu (P/Mo again): Named after an Egyptian god of support and well being, I think.
Count Darktan (W/x - Prophicies): 'Count' became my signature name, Darktan is the name of a leader from a Terry Pratchet book. And no, the character is quite pastey.
Countess Reapera (D/x - Nightfall): My first lady character, Countess carried over, and Reapera is like a feminine form of Reaper I came up with.

My Main, Miranee Clearwater: Miranee is a character in the series of fantasy books I'm writing. Clearwater was a nice, generic aftername that fits her being a monk.
Tiersu Kellith - Just... random really. I make up so many names writing fantasy that after a while they just happen. (Tiersu's a Ritualist)
Miila Kiy Telquin - Ranger I'm going for Survivor with. In the language I'm developing for my books, 'Kiy Telquin' would translate as 'the legend'. So, Miila the Legend.
Kwyax Mysgyny - Sometimes I hate vowels. (Dervish)
Khara Deathtouched - Had a story for her. Growing up in Ascalon, she has a near death experience, and loses all pigmentation in her skin and hair. So, literally touched by death. She's a necro. Not hard.
Goddess Umbaya - Mesmer, with another reference to my books. Umbaya is a goddess
Lilly Firetamer - Guess what prof she is...
Copper Chimes - I have a sort of copper-colour theme running with her.
Natalia Lifesbane - Obligatory Assassin. Lifesbane sounded pretty nifty. I rolled through several sins before I decided on an appearamnce.
Qyirantira The Cold - Another Necro. I'd have deleted her by now, but she's my oldest char, and there's sentiment. Plus, her name is taken from one of the baddies in my books. Gotta love evil, callous necros... Only I got bored.

zelgadissan
I know there's a thread already like this somewhere where I spelled out the inspiration for all my character names...gonna go searchin'.
Edit: here's the thread and since I don't feel like retyping it all out, my specific response.

Xenomortis
I tend to use a crude online Latin translator, but usually only as confirmation.
An exception would be Xenos Mortis - Xenos is Ancient Greek.

DarkRazzie
When I first started playing Guild Wars in 2005, I remember creating my first character (at the time, having no idea what I would see next). I didn't spend much time on the cosmetic setup....just your basic male warrior type. Didn't want him to be bald or have purple hair. So I wizzed through that part, then I must have sat at the name section for 30 minutes before I decided on a name.
A few thoughts come to mind when I create a new name: First, what will people call me in chat? Second, I need to use something common on all my characters.
After a half hour thinking, I decided I wanted something relating to Raziel (character from the game "Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver", one of my favorite games of all time). Of course, the first few tries ended in failure because the names were in use! GAHH! Then I figured I would alter it's spelling some, and finally ended up with "Raziell The Fighter". After joining the guild, folks started calling me "Razz" or "Razzie", so it stuck. The name "Dark Razzie" is the name of my Assassin. My ranger is "Hunter Razz", and my ele is "Raziel Lives" (a pun since my ele seemed to DIE much more than he LIVED LMAO).
Fun topic, keep em coming!

garethporlest18
Most of my names were just something I thought of. I use the same surname "Porlest" for a few of them. A couple others were relating to something I like or a nickname of sorts.
Swahnee
I usually build up very common names, using an english name as the first name, and something which refers to the class or some other fantasy thing as the second name.
Kathreen Whitelight / Swahnee Shyhamster (really silly one :P) --> monks
Elizabeth Soulstorm / Aanon Comes Mortis (the last two mean "death's companion" in latin) --> necros
Diane Knox --> elementalist
Calidor Clunther (completely invented one) --> ranger
Nyia Sazaki / Shania Whirlwind --> warriors
Caris Allman (the first name from Ken Follett's "World Without End", the last from The Allman Brothers Band) --> mesmer
A nice trick is to make brothers and sisters (repeating the last name) ;D like Leeyan Soulstorm and Maya Sazaki.
For PvP characters i use something easier, like Cal Is Back, Swa PvP, Aanon PvP, etc..

Funk ee Monk ee
Way back in the stone age I was installing Far Cry while listening to Primus's My Name Is Mud, so I named my character there Mud. The guys I played Far Cry with moved on to GW so I stayed with Mud in some form or another on most chatacters.
Bob Slydell
I got really bad at making names at one point so i started taking people's names in outposts and chopping them in a few pieces and putting them together to make crazy weird unique names that didn't even resemble the name i took it from. I actually never really used any of those names though...
Legendm
I used the name I've been using since I was 11. I just added the PvP/PvE at the end differentiate between the two (well that and the fact that my name needed to be two words). I didn't bother with the whole 'I need to get into mid-evil times characters' because I knew I wouldn't have been able to think of a name that fits that.
Coverticus
Ying Tze - came from my friend and I creating identical bald little monks. He had just come back from holiday and travelled on the Yang Tze river (so that was his character name). We decided on Yin and Yang, so Ying Tze was born.
Yingdiana Jones and Ying Norris - came from the above (since all that know me just call me Ying), as I am known to venture boldly into battle....
Bows And Arrahs - originally I wanted "Bows And Arrows" for my ranger but since someone had nicked it, this was the closest I got.
The Sinful Scythe - I was in a bad mood when I created my running derv
Covert Creeper - CovertC has been a previous gamer tag so decided to make it into a nice play on the sin theme.
Grubers Little Tank - reference to a UK TV show from the late 80's ('Allo 'Allo). One of the German Officers (Lt. Gruber) had a fondness for his armoured transport and nicknamed it "his little tank". So the warrior was made (being as big as possible too).
Semaj The Sinister - my necro could have been anything but I was drunk and just reversed my RL name.
Some others I have are Storage Char Nine (homage to Seven of Nine), Minipets R Us (nuff said) and others that are too boring to mention!

Eliz Genevieve
Elizabeth Genevieve - Really, I don't know how did the name came up, I just know that every time I pass through LA and some all chat trader starts buggin me, someone whispers me sayin :'What a cute name!'
Elizabeth Lifegiver - Meh, ma Monk.
Tha Roofz On Fiah - gogogogo Coal Chamber! (the original song isn't by them, is it? ._.)
Ms Spike Alot - Ma AB sin.
Elizabeth Lifegiver - Meh, ma Monk.
Tha Roofz On Fiah - gogogogo Coal Chamber! (the original song isn't by them, is it? ._.)
Ms Spike Alot - Ma AB sin.
Dreikki
"xxx Dreikki" with xxx replaced by a word that somehow represents the class, like Blessed (monk), Arcane (mesmer), Angelic (paragon), etc.
However my old characters had some pretty awful names like Pure Pwner, who has 2 sets of 15k armor and some maxed out Cartography titles. However the main reason I started out a new main character was because his name was so terrible...
And Dreikki yeah, I've been using it for over 10 years (I hate the name now) but I just use it everywhere so it's pretty hard to think of a new name.

Divine Ashes
Necro Judgement - I dunno, it was my first char and I decided to make something epically melodramatic lol
I Divine Darkness I - See above, but I wanted to include divine in there somewhere because he was a monk.
I Divine Ashes I - Actually I named this after a girl I kind of fell for on gw (and am currently living with and dating). The Divine thing kind of became my moniker after a while, so I kept it.
Arrow Onslaught - my departure from the Divine moniker. This actually became my main. See first two entries for reason behind name :P
Gospel Of Shaun - I thought it was clever, and that people would actually call me by my name rather than Divine :P.
I Divine Armor I - perma-pre char...decided to just stick with the Divine thing.
I Divine Speed I - permasin char...once again playing off of Divine thing.

I like to include music references in my names.
The Power Of Fear (Ranger) - Random name on a 4 year old character that I hate now.
Signs Of The Zodiac (Ele) - Random.

Energy Block (Mes) - I block people's energiez, short and simple.
In Mourning (Monk) - Named after one of my favourite bands.
The Rose Will Decay (Rit) - Named after an album by Adept.
Bringer Of Autumn (Sin) - Pretty.
Killing With A Grin (Warrior) - Should've been Killing With A Smile (the name of an album by Parkway Drive) but that was too long.
Why Am I A Paragon - Paras are boring and/or bad.
Everlasting Anguish (PvP) - Everlasting Pain (a song by Deadlock) was busy so I just slapped a similar word at the end.

Yeah, there's a thread on this a'ready. And since my post there was a giant wall of text, I'll just link.

Oh, and I did eventually find out that I did spell "Abdelmalak" correctly.
EDIT: Oh, and though I was too cheap to change the actual character's name, Medea the Younger is now Medea Okoro, since she married Ebia.

Arden Kindlecorpse
Arden Greyleaf - R (surname="arrowhead"..sorta).
Arden Kindlecorpse - Ele (was originally Ele/Nec..plus he's a trifle pale).
Arden Machnamh - Mes (surname = "thought").
Arden Gloomharvest - Derv. Yep a play on Grimreaper, SO original.
Arden Soulstrummer - Rit.
Noci Nightbringer - War (playing with the death concept).
Noci Dirgesinger - Nec (was originally Nec/Mo).
Noci Lann Damsha - Sin (surname= "Blade Dance").
Noci Bhikshuni - Monk (it's a title for a fully-fleged monk/nun).
Noci Aureus Dea -Para (surname = "golden goddess").
The first few were made without any idea about ascension and secondary swapping (and with much more anguish than the later ones).
Arden came from a dusty old 3d chat program I used to inhabit with the same name (putting the IGN at over 10 years old O.o).
Noci came from "nociception", effectively the sensation of pain from noxious stimuli, NOT the pasta (that's gnocci)

Phase 1:
Used names of Egyptian gods. People I played at that time all knew that, so they always expected me to do a god-like name. They laughed their asses off after meeting my pet bear, expecting another god's name, only to find it named Sweetypie.
Phase 2:
Moved onto Asian names. Chinese and Japanese.
Phase 3:
The one I am currently in - Middle Eastern names. I love the fact that the names contain a bunch of "h"s. Sounds much rougher.

O Mancer.......short for necromancer..sounds kinda Irish
Tiki Pirate (ele) another parrothead name
Revrend Uncle Pappy..(Monk) character from Redneck Life Board Game
Turkey ofthe Forrest (ranger) from a SNL skit with Jessica Simpson
my newest character is Hola Nerd Migos from a greeting on the Big Bang Theory TV show.
To check names I typed them into my Ignore list and if it was rejected the name was good. Some of my rejected names that were available:
Iron Chef Cantha (TV)
This Better Not Suck (tshirt)
Remove the Head (Shaun of the dead)
Destroy the Brain (Shaun of the dead)
Lizard Spock (Big bang Theory)
I guess they are still up for grabs.
Dzjudz
Judge Judas is my first char and main. I like alliteration. Almost all my other chars are also called Judge Ju...., to be recognisable.
Marty Silverblade
My character naming system is pretty basic.
<Interesting/Unique first name> <DnD inspired compounded last name>
First names came from either books, games, or movies, with the exception of my Ele (whose was made up), so perhaps look to your favourites of those for inspiration.

Koji Murasame
Dryden Eldmere - Warrior - Dryden was a name I had always liked from the poet of the same name and Eldmere is a slightly altered street name that I had seen before and liked.
Koji Murasame - Assassin - This had been an online alias of mine for a long time. A fairly standard Japanese name that I made up for role-playing games.
Toshiro Kakita - Ritualist - Toshiro came from the famous actor Toshiro Mifune and Kakita came from the Legend of the Five Rings crane clan surname.
Kveldbar Beornson - Monk - A name I made up for Guild Wars 2. I want to make a Norn so I made a Norse name. "Kveld" is the Norse word for evening or night, "Bar" is a word for bear. Like Kveldulf is the Norse word for Werewolf this is a made up Norse word for Werebear. Beornson is from the Lord of the Rings character Beorn.
Tenar Arha - Necromancer - I got this from the Earthsea book series the priestess of the Tombs of Atuan her known name is Arha and her true name is Tenar.

Fate Crusher
I naed my first char, Fate Crusher, because he was a W/N and i thought (with my noobie brain) that he would forver use a hammer and create bone minions from the battlefield! i had an amazing dream the night before... lol

Well, my two mains are easy enough.
"Siren" for the lovely mythical gals who lured sailors to their deaths on the rocks, and "Aradia" after the neo-pagan goddess. I thought it worked pretty well for my neutral Necro.
"Pepper" is a name my guildies started calling me when I joined, so I wanted to reflect that, and "Gemdaria" used to be a generic character last name based on a character I created years ago for personal writing.
