Francis Crawford is name of the character better known as Lymond, from Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles. They are my wife's favorite books -- the ones that inspired her to be a novelist. We went to a gathering in Scotland to meet the late Lady Dunnett. Not coincidentally, while most of her character names are based on ones from her own books, one is named Philippa Somerville. (Not to every young girl is it given to enter the harem of the Sultan of Turkey and return to her homeland a virgin.)

I also have a character named Wesley Wyndamprice, after the Buffy/Angel character. Naturally, as one who attempts to control the undead, he is a necro.

And I have a character in pre- named Corwin Oberonson, which while clunky is the best I could do in a tribute to the hero of Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber.

I also have a ranger named Allerian Onestone. That's lifted from a D&D character of mine -- a rogue/wizard, but the closest thing I had to an archer nonetheless.

I have 2 chars.

W- Arados Vaeros= Warrior's Breath or Dragon's Fire (a play on my log in name)
Mes- Raul Valam= Silent Noble

I used a dragon name generator for these. I got a thing for dragons.

Not very exciting but i did what I could.

Bale Shadowscar
-Bale means Evil. The whole name is based off an RP character I had on a forum, Bale Cruelwhisper. I decided to use the name Shadowscar for my GW character to tie in with Necromancer's scars.

Yeager Elmwood
-My brother's character. Yeager, can't remember where it came from, maybe the name of a character off a show or something? Elmwood is obviously 'elm' and 'wood', to tie in with the Ranger theme.

PvP Character: I've had a lot of PvP names, including:
Domination Bale - Dom Mes
Slitwrist the Emo - Necro
Servant of Serpents - Ranger
Warmaster ------- - Warrior

Scarlet Walking (R/E) is my explorer char, inspired by the album/track Scarlet's Walk by Tori Amos, and Sugar (her stalker) is another TA track.

I've also created and deleted (twice) an ele called Shade of Peckforton which is a reference to a character I had in the LARP system Treasure Trap, which ran at Peckforton castle in the '80's

LOL!!!

Here we go. i'll add to the ever growing multitude of un-read posts. Man, i am in a BAD mood today...LOLZzzzzzzz

Batou of Nine (Mo/Me) -Male- The name Batou comes from several animes. The one i took mine from is called "Ghost in the Shell" (GiTs) which is both a series and was originally a movie.

Mrs Kusanagi (W/E) -Female- Kusanagi is the last name of the main character in "GiTs" movie and series.

Motoko Kusan Agi (Me/E) -Female- Motoko Kusanagi is the first and last name of the main character in "GiTs". Someone had already take the full name...

Crazy Ron Burgandy (R/Mes) -Male- Ron Burgandy is the name of the main character on the comedy "Anchor Man". A great movie.

So... unhealthy fascination with Motoko Kusanagi? Maybe. GiTs is my favorite anime, however when it came to naming female characters here in GW, methinks i just got lazy. Factions, ill try n be more creative! Yeah, for stuff!

enjoy.

Sadeath Blode ( N/_ ) - well just made something and sadeath =__death in a way so it will get you to think on death probably.

Bordaux The Mad ( Me/_ ) - becouse he looks like a maaad man, and i thought Bordaux (city in france, but is originally spelled Bordeaux) suited for a mesmer.

Moondancer Zakura ( Mo/_) - becouse I and 2 other friends made a character trio, so we decided that we should have a moondance each^^, so if u meet moondancer zakura, moondancer sakura or moondancer cakura just laugh....

Banana Smasher ( W/_ ) - he's a funny guy, so I thought he should have a funny name........anyway he's at the lowest height as possible wich is rare to see in warrior males!

Sacrophage Nexus [My Necro] -- Sacrophage was similar-sounding to Sarcophagus, so it fit well with the death theme. And I like the word Nexus

The Blood Rose Hero [My Monk] -- I wanted to create a sort of epic character that perhaps had a background shrouded in secrecy. I kinda liked how it left a bit of ambiguity, too.

Requisite Hero [My Warrior] -- I don't like my warrior all that much, and I just wanted the black 15k platemail and some nice axes/swords :P

Southern Tradewinds [My Ranger] -- I wanted to have a character name that alluded to the upcoming chapter. Since Cantha is south of Tyria and is a trade center, well there you go.

Most of the ones I make are kinda at random, or are inspired from other forms of RP'ing.

I had a Healer Monk named Radiant Jheng Zin...derived from one of the player names from Jade Empire.

My current Ele, Arianna Starshadow, was a character a RP'ing partner from AOL played. That character loved wearing spiked boots, so it was only fitting for the Female Ele.

Morrighan Blackrose, my Necro, was derived from black roses being kinda associated with Necromancy or something of a Gothic/Emo nature, and Morrigan of the Darkstalkers Series.

Scarlette Sylvanas, my Mesmer, was random because I gave her scarlet red hair.

The Emerald Maiden, my Ranger, was just something I came up to make her unique, name-wise, and she's been wearing green armor all her life.

Skylar Witherleg - Basically a descriptive on what he was originally designed to do. He was a R/E with a lot of snares. I still do a lot of Forum based RP and I've always been good with names that sound nice together.

Moloch Bloodfist- Was originally a N/W with blood magic. He got turned into an SS/Sv necro though.

Sedrek Godhand- This is my homage to my old Paladin from Diablo 2. Old school zealer that owned until I got into GW and let my accounts lapse. So my W/Mo has taken on the Godhand name to keep the lineage alive. Since he's primarily smite in his monk attributes I think the Godhand moniker is appropriate.

Ultimate Gaara - Sabaku No Gaara was taken... I think.

Super Priestor - Super Priest is a nickname for Billy from Xenogears. The gear Billy uses in Xenogears has a cape, sticks out its arm when it moves, is a priest, and he is cool. My monk has a cape, is a priest like character, and is cool. Basicly they are one in the same

Ultimate Temari - Temari is wicked cool... too bad she does not have a last name as far as I know.

Uncool Fool - It rhymes, no other reason.

Fungus Amongus- Ne/x male- Necromancer, disease spreader, didn't wan't an ordinary name. Then I remembered my brother always said, "We have a fungus among us."

Pia Vai- Me/x female - Mesmers are mental characters. Steve Vai is my favorite guitarist/musician. He is absolutely mental. Pia is his wife's name.

Fist_of_God: I actually thought up the name while playing an old rpg text game called, "vangabonds quest". In the game once you had a lot of money you could rename your melee weapon and when you attacked, it would print in the text, "so and so attacks so and so with the Fist of God", and there were several other possible endings to the original text, depending on whether you hit, miss, or got a critical hit. That was 8 years ago.

Then when I started to play RS(5yrs-ago), not for the wonderful graphics(lol), but for the pure enjoyment of player-killing, I kept it there and still have my account which I never play anymore. However, I became infamous during that period and decided to keep my name when I came here. Funny that after I played runescape for 5 years that name became very popular, and now others use it. I remember someone asking me if I have ever read a certain book(was an english author) whom used the name in a book he had written, although I never read or heard of it.

People started to use Fist of this and Fist of that, but I am the original.

Eseen Hawkins: Favourite class, the combination of two of my friend's online names because I couldn't think of anything.

Sonia Mutenburg: An RP char from a board. It suited a necro well, however roleplaying in a videogame just doesn't feel right. The last name was made while I was drinking Bundaberg Rum.

Eir Demeter: Eir is a Norse Goddess of healing while Demeter is the Greek Goddess of the Bountiful Harvest. Two guesses as to why this character was created.

Leto Inultus: Latin for To slay without consequence. Appropriate for a Warrior who I didn't want to be a mindless tank.

Nothing to do with smashing sin. It is a combination of the names of the Babylonian gods of the Sun and Moon. Strange, as an Elementalist doesn't really have must to do with either

Unien Aule E/x Tolkien-based. I like earth, and Unien is just a cool name even though nobody knows how to say it.

Unien Frostwind N/x See above for Unien. Frostwind is because, well, she's pretty white and I guess it made sense at the time.

Icelord Ulmo R/x I like ice, and Ulmo is of the sea, so I combined them. He of course has full cold armor and a +8 vs cold shield (which I never use).

Onion Ale W/x It's based off of Lasareth trying to insult my Ele's name by calling me onion ale. But then I made it into a warrior.

Ailyrr Merlena: This actually started out a mesmer, but I HATED mesmer (haha ironic yes) in pre-searing and deleted her. Ailyrr was from some fantasy-name generator. Merlena is actually from Merlin. Yeah. Okay. I'm a bit odd.

Lady Iriss: this is my mesmer (whom I LOVE). I've been Iris, and Lady Iris for YEARS online. Someone had MY name, so I had to add an additional "s".

Azhure Ethwynn: Azhure is from the Starman Series. I didn't want to completely steal the name (and she was originally a ranger, didn't like that one either so deleted it and made her a warrior). Ethwynn is kind of Saxon. Don't know where it came from though.

Ayame Rei Ki: Ayame is Iris (duh), Rei Ki- because I'm a Reiki Master. Made sense for my little monk to be named that.

Sivinn Gemwood: Okay, so I use the fantasy-name generator a bit. Sounded good for a ranger. Gemwood-I wanted to name my pet "Safyre" and wanted it to go with the name. Besides, just how many Arwen's can there be in a game (same goes for Legolas)?

Celleste Starweaver: Okay, so she started out an ele, and I deleted her too. Celleste is a character from a book I'm writing (if I ever bother to finish it), Starweaver because it was good for an ele, and since I didn't feel like making another second name, I just used it on my necro.
