Any misspelt name is repulsive. Ok, so Hulk Hogan was taken? No excuse to name your character Hulk Hoagan.

I like stupid names. Except all that legolas stuff. Not creative at all. Every other person is named that.

I really dont care what a person's name is when I group with them. Get over it.

I fall in the annoying name category....lol...oh well
But alot of the good names are taken, therefore we have to improvise.
One of the best names i've seen is: Zerg Overlord
Sorry, im a fan!

To me it's mostly the misspelt warrior names, and there are a LOT of them. "Worior" especially, followed by a name, like "Worior Sven" or "Worior Alex" or whatever. Those people could have been also named "Im Not So Bright" to me

But it can get worse. There's one named "Carmen Ss Gestapo". I swear, if I run into her again meaning she hasn't had to change her name, I will report that name. It just makes me so mad and gives me the shivers

Mods, if the mentioning names in this way is not allowed, just take my post down. In this case I would understand it.

Is that because its famous?

Per Yngve Ohlin <--- Lead singer of Mayhem, commited suicide etc

Per Yngve Oh Lin <---- My necros name because the first was taken. Would that put off if you knew? (i get asked so much if i'm Sweedish...)

I find any name that specifies you to doing somet stupid. All those people with 'Runner' 'Protector' 'Domination' etc in are pointless.

I dont see how RP names are any more creative than "Bob pwns your face." Anyone can piece seemingly random syllables together.

At least its easier for me to address that person as "bob" rather than some messed up name I have to read 10 times to figure out how to pronounce/spell it. You need a name that your guildies and other players can recognize you by. Preferably something short and easy to remember. It doesn't matter if the second part of the name is "Aragoth" or "Pwns You." And if you are judgemental enough to say anyone with those names is not worth playing with, then its no different than me saying anyone with names like "Sagroth Flamehand" is a wierd roleplayer with no life.

All I'm trying to say is, if you base your guild/group decisions on the player's name, you are being way to close-minded. Anyone's name can mean something, even if its not so obvious to you. Maybe someone typoed "worrior" in guild chat and everyone made fun of him. So as a joke, he named his next character like that. You immediately jump to the conclusion that he is dumb and refuse to play with him. You, of course, are just being ignorant.

Not to sound preachy and up my own ass, but worrying about names like this is just stupid.

Disclaimer: all name examples are completely made up and in no way refrence anyone.

by far the stupidest name i have seen (and see whenever i play) is the name of my warrior, kavin surbo. good lord, what was i thinking......

on the other hand, there are names that are stupid but in a funny and brilliant way. the following name may only be relevant to canadians, especially canadians living in quebec....

The most stupid name I have seen was 'Inflictor of Aids' not very funny - by chance I saw the guy running round a few times of well. Suprised he never got banned or told to make a new nik. Dunno if they ever did.

your game as well as many others. some people use names like that for fun. and if you have a problem with the debate, you DO have the option to move districts if it's that much of a problem to your escapism from real life.

1) any name made after a stupid celebrity/character eg chuck norris or legolas or naruto (as mentioned before)
2) any name that contains blatant spelling errors (as mentioned before)
3) combination of 1 and 2 = the worst
4) a bunch of you mentioned people with random names like "wjdoc dsonrm" But how bad could that be? I mean how can adfasdf 3tgwjnsf be worse than this?

how is that bad? that actually means something in korean/tai/japanese, they would say the same about our names if they didnt understand the symbols either

I dont think you understand what I was meaning ... I was saying people commented about random names (such as etgaa argaergaega) as being stupid earlier ... but to most americans, theres really no difference between that and going against a korean group in the arenas ... I wasnt saying they were stupid names, read more carefully next time :-P

i don't see the problem with the names you've highlighted in that screenshot, the chinese ones all have valid meanings, just like our english versions that are not stated in your list of what you consider stupid names. unlike english or european languages in general (some asian ones too), you can't do something like "askdjha asdoisd" in chinese unless you're physically writing it on a piece of paper by using the wrong radicals/strokes or omitting them.

k you're the second person not smart enough to read thoroughly. For the 2nd time I DIDNT SAY THERES ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM. What I said is that they look the same as asdgatw3g adsgfadv if someone made a name like that to many people ... you just dont comprehend it.

People said random names were bad, you imply foreign names that actuall y have meaning are worse. Think before you type and people won't flame you.

I never said they're worse. What I said is that random names really aren't a big deal, since many people have to deal with names they cant read anyway. Your IQ just isnt high enough to grasp that fact.

Urza ftw. I haven't played MtG in years, and I never did it often, but the books aren't too bad. I've seen a lot of names with Urza though I think..

Anyway, I couldn't honestly pick a name that is distinctely worse than others I've seen...Putting random letters together to form a fantasy-like name (Just about everyone does) never seems good to me though.

I've been using that name for PvP since dual smite was popular along with spirits lol. No, it didn't come from what your talking about, I'd rather not argue over the internet, too much waste of time. Bill Clinton was and currently is a pimp, and you can't argue that :P

Names dont only mean what you see them as, cmon, your into fantasy right?
