I myself are somewhat annoyed about retarded names people use. Call me nerd, but it little bit ruins the immersion if u see names like: cocacolafan, eminemfan, pwnzor, migtyworrior.. Also I dont like much those lego- whatever lotr names.

My own nicks arent maybe the best and sometimes i wanna start over if i dont like my current nick. What do you thing about this? Also i want to say that fast made pvp only characters names doesnt matter so much if they are stupid. Names like IwishiwereaWMO was kinda funny when it was name of w/ele or so..

I hate names that have spaces between them, always takes me hours to type those xD. But as you said Cocacolafan isn't a nice name...

I couldn't begin to list all the stupid names I've seen. There's far too many out there.

As for my own characters, the only one with a stupid name is my Monk, Deadly Rice. I like it.

wow my list of stupid names could go on forever. but one of the dumbest i have ever seen would have to be Cptn Dookie. well there was that one guy whose name was poopy poop. i wont even let ppl in my guild if they have stupid names like that. it is kinda like a pet peeve i guess. there is just something about stupid names that drive me crazy.

I only have one stupid name which I use for my PvP char: Retarded Genius.. maybe you have bumped into me in RA

Rest of my chars have proper role playing names (medieval themed).

Since there are an overwhelming number of stupid character names on Guild Wars, I divided all character names into three groups. All of my characters fit into the Proper Name category.

1. Proper Names. Everyone knows what a proper name is "John Smith", "Eddie Windstorm" and so on. Proper names are fine.

2. Abstract Names. These are witty names (witty to an adult, not a little kid) that may inspire thought or cause a chuckle or just look nice. It's hard to think of an example off the top of my head but you know one when you see one.

3. Everything else is stupid and they are all equally stupid in my mind. When given the chance I won't even party with them. Unfortunately this category is the largest by far. Random examples could be "Omg I Pwn", "Warrior Dude", "I Like To Kill", "Ggebhir Thiugferg", "A N N O Y I N G S P A C I N G", "X Warrior X", "I Warrior I" and so on.

i agree with Lost, those names in your group 3 just annoy me and just make the player seem childish, i'm also weary of them in-game as they tend to be the disruptive ones in my experience =/

and people who just add X's and L's or I's just to make sure they get a certain name, just show how they lack even a tiny bit of imagination to make themselves more unique amongst the thousand other people with a similar name (though i guess the same goes for one of my chars that just has Hime tagged on the end ^^

I also dislike the ones with all the spaces, or just plain silly ones like eminemfan as mentioned just annoy me.

Also I dislike people that try to use a name, and see that its taken, so they add letters, I've seen varius Final Fantasy Characters with letters just added in, and its a tad annoying, OK, i'll admit that when I made my ranger I tried to rip Vincent Valentine, but when that was taken I just made up a new name instead.

I seem to have develeoped a distinct naming ritual that works for me, that pretty much stops me getting stupid names. The first name becomes a Japanese word similar to the profession, so my warrior is Sinwa, or Hero/legend, and my monk is Arakin, Monk who has reached Nirvana. and I keep a constant surname of Nagisa, of the Seashore, and now my names arnt silly any more

The name restrictions are there for a reason. While I hate not being able to fully use my native language, I know that most players won't even have an "ä" on their keyboard.
I also second xuemin. ^_^

OK OK, my names aint the best and one of em has lord in it.

I kinda agree and disagree with most comments here, I understand people have issues with IGNs but it can be hard and annoying when people already have the name you really had your heart set on

I kind of agree with Lord ____, though my character is close enough I think (Bandit Overlord)

I dont get annoyed by names but the spaces L I K E T H I S are pretty lame.

I find all those nerdy fantasy names amusing, especially because half of them contain the words "shadow", "night" and "wood"

Whats wrong with Lord? It screams noob huh? You dont have to bash my name because you are insecure. Its ok, one day you will hit puberty, and all of that will wash away.

bloody hymen is pretty graphic if you ask me. You get plenty of body part related names, most spelled different... hairy ballz, big nutz, etc. But bloody hymen is, well, thats just unsettling.

Not that this is a bad name but more funny/rage insiting was:Bill Clinton,whats next a John Kennedy/George Bush?just the mention of old /current presidents or any former leader of any country seems to say" i want to start a huge debate on politics in a fantacy game".while i dont care about these debates unless they are extremly offencive,why insite them?i play to escape the real world as i think many others do as well.

(im sure that the above player is a good one not bashing his/her skills in any way)

and religious names/guilds lets keep personal beliefs out of a game that is supposed to be fun.......remember this is guild wars not jyhad.

There is a guildie who had a ranger by the name of "I Need to Pee". Needless to say he got his account suspended till he changed his name for that char.

For me the most annoying names are those that name themselves after rappers or band names. I came across "2Pac" and "Mud V A Y N E" just last night at warcamp. And of course there are others who are obvious fans of those groups or artist so they try different annoying variations of the same thing. Ugh. And for the most part, the other people in groups that I join for mission probably don't like it either because there are always others who say stuff like "Don't pick Lil jOn please...".
