A beautiful mind behind a beautiful name
Jedediah Strong
Most of my names come are linked to something from "out west" as I was born in Colorado and raised in New Mexico (USA). Although some are biblical.
Jedediah Strong: W/E after famous mountain man/explorer/trapper of the mid-1800's Jedediah Strong Smith.
Gall Stone: N/Me after Gall (Pizi) famous Sioux warrior chief. I didn't like his last name though, and well, "Stone" certainly goes with Gall. ha.
Kitt Karson: R/Me (deleted) after the famous indian fighter.
Llando Sackett: R/Rt after the Louis L'Amour character of the same name.
Saul Blackheart: Mo/Me after King Saul from the Bible and the last name after Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
Jester Vile: A/R absolutely no connection with anything, just liked the name although the inspiration for Jester probably came from Top Gun.
Temperence Vile: Rt/Mo she is Jester's little sister. And totally set against anything that has to do with alcohol or synthetic highs (look up "temperence" in the dictionary...heh)
Merlin Wildsmith: Me/N what better name for a wizard/magician than Merlin? And Wildsmith was a wizard from early european days.
Rohman Malachi: E/Me both came from the Bible. The first name I obviously just added the H to make it more "cool" looking (ha) and the last just thumbed through till I found a name that I thought was a fit.
I like to role play all of my characters. Anytime I "speak" for them, they are in character. If I have to "wake" Jed up because someone else can't complete a mission he gets mad. He believes everyone should be able to hold their own. He is also a bit of a loner and sometimes gets a touch of cabin fever...thus his sour disposition. He is happiest when swinging his hammer against the skull of an enemy combatant. Both he and Gall Stone are around 76 years old (just over a year in Guild Wars game age....).
Jester thinks he is WAY tougher than he is, but can certainly hold his own in a knife fight. Getting ready to train him in the art of the bow however. I have a great A/R build that I am itching to try. He is native Canthan.
Temperence is the naturalist of the entire group. She does not particulary like her brother Jester because of his taste for the "wild side of life". Her favorite thing to do is head out in the hills conjuring spirits and researching various natural healing techniques. She has an inner power that is second to only to Gall's. She is native Canthan, but has a strong desire to travel to Tyria to extend her research.
Gall Stone revels in the stench of decay and the feel of blood....either his or someone elses. Nothing makes him happier than to watch an enemy just wither to nothing after being hit with multiple blood spells, which are his favorite. Misery brings him joy and he seems to be happiest deep within the Undercity because it reminds him of the Catacombs of Tyria where he learned his craft. He always has and always will wear all black. If he even HAS a friend, it would be Jed. They arrived in Cantha together. He hates Saul for obvious reasons. Gall was a suspected conspirator in the downfall of the Kingdom of Ascalon although he steadfastly denies that assertion.
Rohman and Merlin are twins born nearly two years apart. For some reason the their birth (or more exactly Merlins) and their mother's labor was started then delayed. Most shaman and doctors of Tyria believe it had to do with the emotional trauma she suffered when the Searing hit right as she was giving birth to Rohman. The brothers are now inseperable. Neither can stand to be in the same room as Gall (whom they met as young men), and Merlin actually tried to kill him shortly before coming to Cantha. Gall has sworn a blood pact against them both.
Llando Sackett is a pioneer. He has never spent an entire night inside the walls of a city. At 37 years of age that is an accomplishment. Abandoned at birth, he was adopted and raised in the Echovald Forest for 6 years by a Kurzick woodcutter named Marrs. That man, the only family Llando ever knew, ended up dead at the hands of a Luxon priest. Llando stayed in the only home he ever knew and has sworn vengeance against any and all Luxon he crosses. He learned the ways of the Forest from the formidable race of Wardens that inhabit that same place.
Merlin Wildsmith. A born actor. He can dance, mime, sing, and plays an amazing 24 different musical instruments, 6 of which he designed and built from rare materials (and which are rumored to only be usable with magic). He has greater control of the mind than any of his peers. It has been said that he can utilize nearly 85% of his actual brain. Loves nothing better than to take a foes own spells and turn it against them. A Tyrian by birth, he believes that it is in Cantha where his destiny of greatness lies.
Saul Blackheart is an anomaly. A holy man of the highest order. He abstains from nearly everything that the "physical" world can provide. He wears only a loin-cloth, preferring his body suit of magical tattoos to clothing. He eats a minimlist diet of various roots, berries, and other edible plants and drinks only water that has been purified through holy rites in a temple. He has gained knowledge of every spell, hex, prayer, and skill that is known to those of the Monk profession. His name was originally Saul of the Good Heart until he was blamed for the murder of 6 priests at the monastary where he lived and studied high in the Shiverpeaks of Tyria. He never admitted nor denied the killings, preferring to take his ex-communication from that Brotherhood in silence, whereupon he changed his name to match the feelings in his soul. He has tied the deaths of those priests to the workings of one Gall Stone. Many have said that the two were working together. He hates Gall as much as Gall despises him.

KiRi
For my main character i use the name Mesiance Talith.
Means nothing at all, just something I made up because i hate having a common name as someone else :P
A few people have asked if it was french though
My other characters usually have names that relate to my nickname (RL) "Kiri"
such as Akai Kiri - who is a character from an anime i like and Kiri yama which is a character from a wicked movie

SnipiousMax
With the exception of Snipe... Most of my names are spanish words.
For example:
My Warrior's name is Rompe Cabecito (Little Headbreaker)
My Mesmer's name is Travi Esa (trickster)
My Ritualists name is Nov Eonada (No Veo Nada...I don't see anything)
My Elementalist's Name is Ter Rem Oto (earth quake)
But really the only name I put much thought into is the character my wife was going to play. Her name is Rachel (which means 'Ewe') and she's a dancer so I named the monk, Ewelyn Baile.

shadowfell
Lialla Shadowfell, I made this up at the spur of the moment, but I had always liked the surname shadowfell, so I used it. She's a necro, and has a black moa, named Morticia.
Lillith of Babylon..clearly misspelled by one L, but 'lilith of' was already taken, oddly enough, this person contacted me, and threatened to sue me (I swear to god) If I didn't stop using the name immediatly. ..She has a spider that sadly, I haven't taken out in a long time, named Naamah.
Cynnamon Gurl, a pun on the Neil Young/Type O song, Cynnamon Girl. My ex bf loved the song and repeatedly told me how much it reminded him of me, well.. he is gone, but I still have the character.
Aeon Fuxx, obviously mispelled, but the one I wanted was taken. I don't even know If I intend to keep this character, tbh.
Hanoi Hannah, my ranger. I made the name during FPE because everything was so dang asian.... She has a white tiger, named Sekhmet
Hong Kong Hannah, my ele. In the same vein as above.

Skawtt
Myself and my guildies migrated to Guild Wars from another MMO called Star Wars Galaxies. Most of us opted to use the same names we had there or some close variation of it for our mains.
Even on Ventrillo we call eachother our original first names from there. Yesterday while in a PUG with a guildie he kept calling me Skawtt .....I was on my new Assassin.
Skawtt Kehar W/N. Star Wars Galaxies Bothan Jedi.
Quint Kehar R/E....Mule
Nexu Grin. Assassin Name of a Tera Kasi attack I cant remeber what one just remember seeing Skawtt Kehar hits XXXX Kehar (my brother) with Nexu Grin for an X amount of damage in the combat log.
Pope Kehar Mo/R Mule. Chosen because Skawtt was the Anti CU furry Pope of Gorath.
Xiang Jiao: Monk I got this off a fortune cookie it means banana in Chinese.

Hailfall
My character names are based on characters I played in another game. For names of pets I usually refer to this Elfnames website.
Shala Jarias (Necromancer)
Her name comes from the Demoness that I played in a game called Neverwinter Nights. And because I liked the name + character so much I decided to keep it.
Hail Fall (Monk)
The name suggests an Elementalist but I created a Monk because I needed a Healer (and I-monk). Hailfall has been my nickname for almost 3 years and I used it on a lot of forums.
Hope Starraiser (PvP character)
Together with my fiance and his friends we have a group named the Starraisers. Basically a bunch of friends who share same interests. The last part of the name is the same but in my case Hope was chosen because there was still Hope for me.. Hope for a new life...
Lyonna of Ryan (Ranger)
Another character from Neverwinter Nights server. Only her name originally was Ly'Onna Banni'Eplith which is a bit too long.. The name + looks fit my ranger very well.
Hopes Fayth (Ritualist)
Inspired by Final Fantasy 10 with the Fayth, I decided to create a character bearing my nickname Hope and have Fayth behind it.
Calia Kellyan (Mesmer)
My very first character on the NWN server that I played. She was originally a mage but because I do not like the Elementalists that much I decided to make her into a Mesmer instead.

Haldier Lorien (Ele) - Wanted a similar name.
Witchdoctor Avignon (Monk/Nec) - Thought the name Witchdoctor tied in both the Monk and Necro parts of his prof. Avignon, was a cruical town in Crusades.
Factions:
Lee Quan Yee (Sin) - Just was anxious to start the preview event and wanted a Japaneese-ish name.
Himato Yoshie (Rit) - I'll let you all try to remember this one...where'd i get it.

Mo/x - Im The Scatman (like the song)
Because the Scatman song is teh pwn.
A/x - Im Mr Roboto (like the song by Styx)
Because he does the robot
Me/x - Ken Shaw
This name was my ORIGINAL name in Diablo (the first one) back when I was in like 5th grade
Ele/x - Keel You Fawk
Little brother did that one too
and my newest
R/Mo 5 - Chuck Frigin Norris
Because I am going to be "kind of a big deal" with him.

Balance
Farms For Balance was my second character name. He farmed for money, to even out the money my elementalist (In Balance) was unable to make at the time.
I have a load of others relating to Balance after that. The only ones that AREN'T related in that manner are Snarling Driftwood and Obsidian Key.

Arkyn sei
My monks name (Private Peaceful) Is from an Awesome book. I know it sounds sad... But hey i like reading.
VGJustice
I'll just pick out my two favorite characters so I don't bore you with my character's backsroties (an RP'er, zOMG):
Chaotic Justice (R/W): I don't know exactly where I picked up this name, and it doesn't fit a character too well (was my first character). I've been "Justice" on a lot of forums for a while, and the Chaotic part kinda just popped up one day. Name's stuck now.
Yue Usagi (Mo/x): This one is so lame it's great. Yue = "Moon" in Chinese. Usagi = "Rabbit" in Japanese. She uses the English naming convention. I'm so nerdy, it hurts.

for my pvp characters i usually go with hamster some where in the name. The first time i made a monk i called him Hunchbacked Hamster, and the name stuck. Pets i usally name after rappers .
Kool Pajamas
My ele is Eagce Rayole - a combination of names i use on other forums
my necro is Deathal Razer - because he raises dead and it looked better than Death raiser
my mesmer is Mesmerizing chic - well its a girl mesmer
Ranger is Ms Wild Beauty - Girl character, Wild is reference to wilderness survival attribute line
Monk is Beauty of smite - Was going for a beauty theme with a reference to a attribute line like the ranger
Warrior is Beauty of strength - same reason as monk
Assassin is Deadly Dagger chic - Girl character uses daggers and the deadly arts attribute line (beauty wouldnt fit)
Ritualist is Beauty Ritual - again the beauty thing and shes a ritualist
For pvp charcters I'll go on what their role is or just some crazy stuff. Also sometimes use some type of "Frog" reference.

Ulivious The Reaper
Well lets see

Nysur verrir: one i used for my ranger, hes rather arabic looking on accident, so i was like either Nysur verrir or blonde arab
Foofiesmooch Cake: Funny name i made up on accident while talking to a friend about what i should name my necromancer.
Zengaiwa Ugathai: Roplayish name for my assassin
Pvp slot: generally Monk So Tall, i make the shortest monk you can make and play him lots

Caoimhe
Started with a basic "family story" backstory for my characters; worked until Factions came along and I created my 'sin.
Surname for the sisters is Caoimhe (KWEE-va), an Irish name meaning, roughly, "a beautiful girl, exhibiting gentleness, lovlieness." The backstory is, essentially, all of the Caoimhe sisters come from a loving family; their father had been the town's blacksmith apprentice until shortly after Niamh (the second girl) was born, when he stepped into the Master's role, and their mother had been a tutor and archivist, who had read many of Ascalon's great works and had transcribed quite a few as well. Both parents encouraged their girls' independence, and destiny would eventually take them to Ascalon.
The oldest sister is Muireann (MWIR-an), Irish, roughly meaning "sea-white, sea-fair." W/Mo20, fun-loving, adventurous, but compassionate about the people she's with. As far as in-game, that translates into a W/Mo who spends about half of her time trying to use what little energy she has to throw heals at other party members, while trying to keep the baddies off of the spell-slingers' backs. Muireann is definitely not a "wade-in-and-whack-everything" W/Mo.
Next in line is Niamh (NEEV), also Irish, meaning "brightness or radiance." In the family, she is the next one down from Muireann, and her name has a delicious irony to it. You see, Niamh likes playing with the things her big sister kills. Unlike many of the necros in the game, Niamh doesn't try to cultivate the dark and gloomy aspects of her necromancy; rather, she seems to think it's all great fun. Minions make great pets, and you don't really have to worry about feeding or cleaning up after them.
Next in line is little Flidais (FLEE-daws). Irish, refers to a woodland goddess reknowned for her... "exuberance." Ranger (obviously) who suffered from middle-child syndrome until she started to make her own way, she prefers to travel alone wherever possible, relying on her own ability to avoid trouble rather than court it. This caution has tended to limit her adventures somewhat, as there are few places in Tyria where it is safe to go alone.
Lastly, there's the youngest, Aine (AWN-ya). Irish as well (detect a trend?) meaning, "radiance, brilliance." Aine learned early in her life how to take care of herself, as well as her rambunctious, adventurous sisters; her abilities with herbs and salves to soothe injured limbs, as well as her gentle, quiet compassion made her a natural healer, which is what attracted her to the monastery. Now a full-fledged monk, Aine says little, and prefers to focus on maintaining the health and protection of those with whom she travels.
Unrelated, my Factions 'sin, Michiko Tsuyu (Michiko = "beautiful, wise child" Tsuyu = "morning dew"). "Morningdew" was a name I used for several characters, both tradition P&P RPGs as well as PC games like Daggerfall (way back when.) Michiko is a name I have always thought to be pretty. She was created very early one morning during the FPE; I had Michiko in mind, but couldn't come up with a reasonable surname. Factions, with it's strong Asian influence, seemed like a good time to try out the name, but I needed a surname. Like all good inspiration, my eyes were half shut when I remembered the "Morning dew" name. A quick translation later, and I had the name. I like it so far.
I have one more, a male ranger, when I don't feel like being harassed.
Wow. What a tome. Thanks for reading!
Surname for the sisters is Caoimhe (KWEE-va), an Irish name meaning, roughly, "a beautiful girl, exhibiting gentleness, lovlieness." The backstory is, essentially, all of the Caoimhe sisters come from a loving family; their father had been the town's blacksmith apprentice until shortly after Niamh (the second girl) was born, when he stepped into the Master's role, and their mother had been a tutor and archivist, who had read many of Ascalon's great works and had transcribed quite a few as well. Both parents encouraged their girls' independence, and destiny would eventually take them to Ascalon.
The oldest sister is Muireann (MWIR-an), Irish, roughly meaning "sea-white, sea-fair." W/Mo20, fun-loving, adventurous, but compassionate about the people she's with. As far as in-game, that translates into a W/Mo who spends about half of her time trying to use what little energy she has to throw heals at other party members, while trying to keep the baddies off of the spell-slingers' backs.

Heh, Most of my characters are an homage to an RPG that my Brother, my friends and I created and used to play from grade school to early college! My characters have names that end with a place from the game, so it's a nice Tip o the hat:
Leilia of Berkinji
Aria of NorthIsle
Tal of Aminh

I've been putting Sage in the names of my characters (such as Sage Medicine Man for my Monk or Cursed Sage for my Necro), you know, older and wiser (being as I'm 45 and been playing for just about 1 year now).
and as for names that are questionable, even if it lets you create a name that would be bad, I've reported on very objectionable names and I've noticed how that name doesn't exist anymore afterwards, so they do listen.

My warrior is Overlord Bacchus
Bacchus: After the 5th century BC, Dionysus the Greek God of wine became known in Roman and Greek mythology as Bacchus. The son of Zeus (Jupiter), Bacchus is usually characterized in two ways: The god of vegetation, wine and cheer or a deity who inspired ecstatic, orgiastic worship. The name refers to the loud cries with which he was worshipped at the Bacchanalia, frentic celebrations in his honour that were banned by the Roman Senate in 186 BC.
Powers: Ecstacy -- madness in his followers, Baco, dios de la viña, del vino y del delirio Báquico (Bacchus, God of wine and delirium)

PtiteDiablesse
My ranger, monk, and warrior are all variations on Petite Diablesse. Translates to 'little she-devil' and goes back to the characters I would play on some of the Neverwinter Nights modules way back when.
My now-deleted necro was named Nightshade Kiss. I figured nightshade was a suitable image for a necromancer.
My assassin is named Petite Morte or 'little death'. It's a name I'd been trying to get for awhile now, but it's always been in use. Finally, around the Factions weekend event, I was able to snake the name away.
My nuker I named Petite Requiem just 'cause I couldn't think of anything better.
My pets are a spider by the name of Iway Fodder and a phoenix by the name of Rank Twelve.

Tristan Taylor
Tristan Taylor------Elem/Mes----I've liked the name Tristan since I read The Moonshea Trilogy of books, so when I made my first character, I had to use it, though I went Elem. As for Taylor, I was on a kick about using a last name with the same first letter as that of the first name. On a side note, while searching online for names for new characters I stumbled upon a site that said Tristan Taylor is one of Yugi's best friends in Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Exitus Acta Probat----War/Monk----Roughly translates to "The ends justify the means." Now I think it would have been better for a Ranger.
Sic Erat In Fatis----Rit/Monk----Means "So it was fated" roughly "it happened how it was supposed to", or so I read somewhere. Again, seems more fit for a Ranger, but oh well.
Fates Dark Angel----Assassin/Ranger----A Dark person(an assassin) forced by Fate(series of events in game) to become an Angel(or "Good Guy"). This was a name I originally intended to use for a Necro/Monk, but decided against it when I realized I could still use the meaning I put behind it.
Life Of The Party---Monk/Necro----Like that wasn't an obvious one, huh? I was just surprised to find that wasn't used.
As for my pets, my favorite PS2 games are the Xenosaga sereis(not Xenogears, different series) So my Desert lizard is Rubedo, and my Crane is named Albedo. Sometimes my Necro/Ranger's pet becomes Mobile Corpse so I don't feel so bad when he dies.

Circling Skies and Earthbound Misfit come from the song "Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd. I did have a range named Comfortably Numb but she is no longer with us. When I first started I tried to keep all my names Pink Floyd related so my guildmates could tell it was me.
My necro Rhavin Ashaman is a blended name taken from the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan. These book must be a popular source for names because I tried a billion different ones from the books and they were all in use
My Assasin is Shogun Mifune. I love the book Shogun by James Clavell and the main japanese character Toranaga was played by Toshira Mifune in the movie version of Shogun.

It seems I put far less thought into my character names than I was previously aware! I tend to go for things that just sound nice. I try to keep them marginally descriptive or flavored to the class or appearance, but that's really it.
Black Autumn the Necromancer, Autumn Skye the Elementalist, Sweet Venom the Mo/Me (Sweet for the Monk and Venom for the Mesmer), Raspberry Cordial the Ranger, Myriel Wartongue the Warrior, and Cosy Lee the Ritualist.
Oh, but I did name my Melandru's Stalker Josie because she's a pussycat. Terribly original, I know. So, uh, there you go. =D

Sientir
My character's names are...well, derived from a variety of sources:
King Templar (elementalist, has been deleted): My first character, I've used the name King Templar after some funky text stuff that I saw in a StarCraft map. Since forums don't accept ]{ing ']['emplar, I changed it. Usually has an underscore between King and Templar. No relation to the guild named Knight's Templar.
Arath Salachtir (Mesmer, deleted): Name is an editted spelling of a phrase that means "Destroy them" in a language I was/am working on developing.
Aerithos Yggdrasill (Originally ranger, replaced by a necro which I still have): Slightly modified version of Mithos Yggdrasill, a character from Tales of Symphonia, a game that everyone should go out and at least try, because it kicks butt.
Baratus of Hexen (Warrior): The name of the Fighter class character from the game Hexen. If he has the ranger secondary, his pet is a spider named Korax, the multi-armed boss from Hexen. Used him while founding my current guild, Followers of Korax.
Sientir of the Void (Monk): Sientir is the leader of the Voidmasters. Entire thing was spawned by an RP and an obsession with the Dark Archons from StarCraft.
Will of Sientir (Canthan Ranger): I used the name for my PvP character for a time, and I felt like reviving it. It simply is a stating the the character executes the will of Sientir.
Legendary Sanashi (PvP char, female): Note that all preceding characters are male. You kinda feel like mixing things up after a while, or at least, I do. So I decided to make my PvP character female. The name Will of Sientir was exclusively male, so creating a female character under the monicor felt awkward, at best. In my previous guild, Oni Musha Warlords, there was some sort of naming thing going on with everyone making a character named Legendary something. The leader's name had Musashi in it, and I used that for the inspiration for Sanashi.
Sanashi Shadowblade (Assassin): Again, using the Sanashi name. Shadowblade seemed to fit an Assassin to me. This character is also female.
As a note, the mentioned deleted characters have all beaten the game; I wanted to try it with different professions (Prophecies).
King Templar (elementalist, has been deleted): My first character, I've used the name King Templar after some funky text stuff that I saw in a StarCraft map. Since forums don't accept ]{ing ']['emplar, I changed it. Usually has an underscore between King and Templar. No relation to the guild named Knight's Templar.

Opeth11
I remember posting in a thread like this a long while ago, but here goes.
Dion Phaneuf - Warrior - Favourite hockey player, super rookie of the NHL. =D
Harlequin Forest - Ranger - A song by Opeth.
Rusting Water - Necromancer - Sounds funny. Water shouldn't rust. Unless I've been misinformed.
Frost of Winter - Ritualist - Based off of 'Into the Frost of Winter'. Another Opeth song.
Jessie Tuirc - Monk - Random first name. Tuirc? Stolen from my best e-friend.
Emily Tuirc - Warrior - Random first name. Tuirc? Once again, stolen.
Demon of the Spring - Mesmer - Based off of the song 'Demon of the Fall', but was already taken. Also a song by Opeth.
And there you have it. My list of crappy character names.

Well, when I RA on my Monk pvp, I use the name Deliverance Toll.
Why?
Well let's just say I charge a small toll for your deliverance to safety.
You listen to what the dear MONK says, and I heal you. Simple as that
You pay attention, and I deliver you from death
