A beautiful mind behind a beautiful name

Vala of the Fens-the Vala part comes from Vala Mal Doran from Stargate SG-1. I tried to name her that but the name was already taken! The Fens comes from the Takenuma Swamps of the MtG set, Champions of Kamigawa. I'm like the only person who really liked Kamigawa. *sniffle*

Asuka Konaha-Asuka comes from the japanese name for Alexis Rhodes of Yu-Gi-Oh GX, which is Asuka Tenjoin. Konaha is the name of the village on Naruto.

Sheba Al Hakim-I was thinking about Solomon's wife, Makeda, at the time. She was the queen of Sheba and its rumored she was just as wise as Solomon. The last bit just sounded really cool.

First character name: Tanamoril Osfameron. Character name from Dalemark series.

Second character name: Tibby scarmaster. Recently changed my nickname to Tibz/Tibs. Now that I think of it it looks aweful (scarmaster because of the necro)

Third character name: Ignus mortus. Screwed up latin. (was supposed to be fire ele. Now an earth ele.)

Fourth character name: Healing from beyond. Ritualist healer.

Fifth character name: Bankai renowned. Started using Bankai for pvp characters. Still my current username. Bankai is japanese for Full Release, which is what's the final stage of Soul slayers in Bleach are called.

Sixth character name: Bankai solis. Bankai of the sun (Latin again. This time it's not screwed up. And it's a paragon.)

(Seventh character name (I have a permanent monk pvp character): Senbonzakura Bankai. Final stage of the sword Senbonzakura of bleach.)

Ischuros Almsbane, the best necromancer in the world, is named after the Greek Ischuros (is-cor-os) meaning mighty, powerful or strong, and I added in almsbane for the craic. Castor of Sparta is, of course, from mythology, and I cant remember the rest, they probably just sounded good.

My First character was going to be named "Koala MeatPie" (Ranger)

Koala MeatPie is the name of a comic and of the main character in a comic I draw /drew for the College newspaper (It was removed for the same reasons they published it) (Made me angry)

Other then that I first create the character, think of the first name that matches the figure the best then add "De Virgil" After it.

Example: Melissa De Virgil, Samantha De Virgil, Keynen, Sonya etc etc.

Virgil was a Biblical Critic, and Dante's guid threw Hell and Purgatory in "Il inferno" and "Il Purgatory"

Yet Latly I have been starting on a "Less is more" trend naming My Paragon "Xx I " (Twenty one) And I beleive my Sin used to be named "Cu E" (Q) before I remade her.

More names: X

Xo Laura Xo, my friend ended up having this name first and then I kind of stole it :P he got mad at me and then let me keep it. Lol coincidently my real happens to be Laura :3

Lady Charisse, I've wanted to use the "Lady" title for yonks ._. And the Charisse bit well..I just found the name on a site I was going to use "Charis" instead but it was taken ;-;

Layla Shiar, I loved the name Layla, no idea where I found it. I descided to use my boyfriends paragons last name which is "Shiar"

My Names Woman, Temp name atm Named after a song by Ayumi Hamasaki, I loves the song x]

Little Miyuki, I was searching for names and this one came up, I thought it was really cute ;o

Petite Ayumi, Ayumi is one of my fave Japanese names ^^ Petite just sounded cool...

For my PvE names, it takes me like a half hour to come up with a name because I want to make sure I'll like it.

Sanitrixx Medicas- my monk, it's a bit of latin
Carry Me Away- My paragon, because of their wings and my favorite song, Nerdy by Poison the Well
Trinity Unrighteous- my necromancer, I just love the name Trinity

I have many more, but those are my most definite favorite.

Aekara Nightwing - Necromancer - A name I use frequently for table-top role playing, spelled as Ækara Nightwing. Unfortuantly, this game does not allow that particular spelling.

Kaishra Orthoth - Warrior - Kaishra is another name I use for role playing. The last name was obtained by typing random characters until I saw something that worked.

The Silent Cry - Dervish - A referance to the band Forest of Shadows.

Seraphic Masquarade - Monk - Idea was orriginaly a referance to the band Theatre of Tragedy (earlier works). However, the name Seraphic Deviltry was already taken, so I had to change it a bit.

On the various MUDs I used to play, (Nirvana IV, Elysium, Round Table, to name a few) I was almost always named Claw, Talon, or Fang. When Guild Wars (e3 for Everyone event) rolled around and required two names, I made my Warrior Fangor Talonclaw, because I wasn't feeling terribly creative. Later on I adapted my name to Clawdius Talonious, which started as my PVP slot and later became my Necromancer PVE character.

Since I came up with that name, I've used it everywhere, first finding and joining guild KOS via their forums before the first BWE, and I've since used it on every forum I've joined whether or not it was Guild Wars oriented.

Amusing anecdote, my character Santa Claws was originally intended to be my mule (basically only handing out various goodies to low level characters and such), because we already had plenty of monks in the guild. Since then, I've come to play Santa probably more than twice the average amount of time invested into most of my PVE characters (he's got approx 800 hours, out of my 3600 hours invested in 10 PVE characters and various PVP only characters)

7 of the 8 characters i have all have the same last name along with all the characters the wife has to.

Tagawa

Monique Tagawa
Star Tagawa
Zedro Tagawa
Conan Tagawa

Just 1 big happy family of Tagawa's

just seen that on tv and like the last name first names are from old pets or girl friends but don't tell the wife hehe

the odd ball is from a anime the wife just loves
Eureka seven

B A R B
Z O N
S O R C

Because I was addicted to D2 at the time of the creation of these toons.


Mystic Balthazar because I was uncreative and I use the Mysticsm spell known as Avatar of Balthazar.

I Forgotten Spear I because I use a Spear.

Captain arne because CAPTAIN ARNE IS PRO.

Avicara Scout thinking that I was going to get another NPC character, but I was wrong.

M E S because it's short for Mesmer.

Noble Mike and Noble Mika are my two solo FoW Warriors, Mike is Male and Mika is female.

Mai Ke Elementalist because it means Mike Elementalist because my name is Mike.

Shadora Shassaire - my 1st char, necromancer ported from my original EQ necromancer character.

Jolinar Ebonblade - warrior, took the 1st name from the first Tok'Ra operative encountered by SG1 (stargate tv series).

Shanar Sunweaver - ranger, no particular source for the name

Shaeori Sunblade - named inspired by the cursed Avarri queen from Neverwinternights: Hoards of the Underdark

Not sure if it's related, but the "Tal'Shiar" represent the Romulan Secret Police and Counter-Intelligence network from Star Trek.

I mostly tend to mix and match existing names, for example.

The Pointless: Don't ask, but it has no bearing on my actions, I'll say that. This was no mix & match name either.
Sigmund Beckett: Sigmund Freud and Sam Beckett (from Quantum Leap)
Hadrian Stinger: Hadrian as in the Wall which divides Scotland and England geographically, Stinger because he uses bows (I wasn't aware of the Green bow's existence at the time
Ryuichi Amano: Ryuichi Sakamoto, the musician, and Yoshitaka Amano. Although I've been asked a few times if I read Get Backers (The character of Ginji Amano -.-)
Doctor Kunio Yagami: Well, he's a Doctor... of Death! Kunio, I beleive I got that from the Kunio-kun games, one of which was reworked into Renegade for the West. Yagami... Iori Yagami from SNK's scrappers
Susumu Horai: Susumu Matsushita, an artist, and Tenro Horai, the villain from Ikaruga
Onuris Hapu: ... ...... ......... I used an Egyptian name generator! So sue me!

Shrouded God (warrior)-used the name for a long time..mostly as my username on message boards...BF2...just stuck

Guy From Accounting (derv) thought it was a pretty neat name...even though im not a guy from accounting

Bangem Smurf(necro)...a rapper I heard of ina movie...I laughed at the sound of the name so I thought id use it for a character

Naked Nesquik Bunny (mesmer)...tried thinking of a name for a mesmer...walked into my kitchen, saw a think of nesquik...made the name

Fitty Five Cent (55 monk)...'parody' of the rapper, 50 cent

Portitore Di Morte (PvP Derv)...'bearer of death' in italian

Kurzick Assassin (PvP Sin)...the name says it all...didnt ant any confusion

Da Myspace Predator (presearing ranger)...had an issue with some alliance members...everyone thought this 'chick' was hot...gave her myspace to a few people...flirting began...turns out she...was a 26 year old married man...so i made this name to poke fun at the situtation.

Dimenticato Dio (warrior mule)... 'forgotten god' in italian

Well, it's this thread! Doesn't it just make you feel old when you remember that one thread from several (weeks, months, even years) ago, and then it pops up on page 1 again?

And doesn't it annoy you when you see incorrect latin? Gets me every time. Honestly, I saw someone once with the name Uvidus Cervus - and he didn't know what it meant, so I had to tell him: Wet Deer. He was so disappointed. Though I suppose that's less of an incorrect usage and more of a bizarre one.

So, anyway, I should probably say something about my own most recent monikers. Layla Zaina, originally planned as a Necromancer, is now my Dervish.
Aydin Kan, (which means... er... hang on... *looks up name* "enlightened soul" in Turkish), is my shiny new Paragon. And the new name I came up with for my Necromancer, after stealing the above, is Ngaio Maata. Which is apparently Maori (which is exactly how some of the facial scars look) for clever mistress, or something to that extent. And then, there's the so far unborn Assassin I've thought about for months; originally it was Wei Chao, but now I'm leaning more towards Zy Xi.

Tuscan Rose: Rose is my middle name and i happen to like it, and i am Italian, so it seemed to fit. she's a Ranger.

Chloe Steele She's from the Left Behind Series and warrior seemed to be the right profession for her.

Misguided Rose A necro...from Edwin McCain's album Misguided Roses.

Phaedra Firesoul Just happened to be pretty...she's my main toon, a ranger. i have a ranger fetish.

Black Tangled Heart I was shocked it wasn't taken because i made her when nightfall came out, a mes.

Slave of Hades Necro

Claudia Stanhope she's my other mes, i had a RP character back in the day i played on AOL with that name. lol

that's enough for now i supposed, but i have like 15 chars. i only play a few hard core though.

i did have Vae Nefastas which is Latin for something like beware...i can't remember, but it got taken in between chars.

oh well...you snooze you loose, right?

I had created all of the core characters: ranger, war, ele, necro but hadn't succesfully completed a monk. Because this was my last character that I created in Prophecies I decided to name it My Last Passion to signify that it would be last idea for a character that I would go through with.


aye..imo rangers are the best

Halmyr The Patient: I got this name from DnD the "complete warrior" book, he his the god of strategy and skill in warfare, he rewards those who use patience and planning.Of course, this is my main character, and he has quite the history.

He was first born in Runescape, second character I created there. The first one was Konkrash, he DnD he his Halmyr brother, but unlike him, Konkrash is about strenght and he his very Rash. After and faild attempt with Konkrash, Halmyr was created and was very succesfull.

After that, Halmyr made and apperance as a Elven Red mage in FF11, he did not last long since you have to "pay to play". Unfortunetly for him, he could have made a second appearance as a Galka monk, but a friend made him, and he had a very different name.

Then, he wa created in Guild wars 18 month ago, the first day the game came out, has a warrior. Skillfull, patient, and a true leader, he has with great courage and determination surpass what other would have considerd impossible. Never backing up even when there his no hope. He has inspired scores of men and women, warrior's and mage's.

Aisha softwind: That one came out of no were, but for a monk, thats a pretty nice name

Ixidor the lucky: My ranger, the name comes from the Magic the Series, hes a wizard/god gone mad, but I just like the name. Lucky, well lucky shot

Lyris Deathwisher: My necro, again that one came out of no were, but just love the first name....Lyris....Lyris, pretty catchy.

P.S: No I'm not crazy, but for me Halmyr is my ultimate character, and if you PuG with me, Your most then likly to have a good time

most of my character names are ones I had when I played UO but for my last 2 - I came up with some appropriate anagrams:

Veldi Derin - Necromancer
Aliah Vasiour - Paragon

Any guesses what the anagrams are?

I'm terrible at coming up with names. All my characters do have "Monty" in their names so my guildies will always know who I am.

My first character, a ranger, who has been around since the E3 alpha test of GW is named Darian Lowther. I found he looked kinda like a pirate, so I did a search for pirate names on google and saw George Lowther. So, I stole his last name.

My second, and main character, is named Achilles Antony. He's a warrior, of course, and at the time I was taking a class on Greek and Roman epic. I had taken the Iliad, which is where Achilles came from. Of course, the Antony part is a tribute to Mark Antony, who I had also learned about in my Roman history class.

My third character came about during the same period of time as my second, and in a similar way. Her name is Medeia Hekate, and she is a Necromancer. Anyone who has studied the Greek epic the Argonautika would know Medeia was Jason's love interest, but that she was also a witch. She worshipped the Goddess Hekate, so putting the two together as one name made perfect sense, giving the link to necromancy that both had.

Since then, any characters I make are either latin or greek names that I get from sources such as Plutarch, or I just throw words in a translator to make something that sounds good. It's been working out quite well.

Rikers Remedy (Ranger) Cause I was trying to be a smartass and somewhat witty.
Smile Like Umean It (and his pet Only A Kiss)(Ranger) Cause I love the Killers and Brandon Flowers was taken.
ll W A S Gdll (War) Short for We Are So Gonna Die, my guild's motto tho it started out as a joke.
Funditor Elementi (Ranger) Is Latin and he's a R/E, I thought it fit.
Ur Moms Necro (Necro) As an inside joke with a friend. She always says "your mom" as a come back.
The Animal Bautista (War) Cause I love the WWE and the wrestler Batista.
Mark Stoermer (Mes) Once again I love the Killers.
Smile Like Umeanit (Ranger) Made as a twin for the other one cause I don't play that account anymore.
Ice Queen Chase (Ele) Reference to Buffy.
Ryan Key (Monk) I like the band Yellowcard
Kelis Key (Paragon) I wanted to start a Key family
Arien Key (prema pre-sear Monk) See above.

Donald Thump - PvP Ranger

I've always had trouble naming characters, I can sit there for hours just trying to come up with a name. I usually give up and just grab something off whatever I see first.

In fact, my first character (w/me) back in beta was called Sir Martinelli because I had a bottle in front of me with the word Martinelli on it. It wasn't that great a name, but it served its purposes.

Later, when I started learning Japanese, I named my characters in romanized japanese names. None of the names were that good, but I had some such as Naosu Mahou Tsukai (healing/cure/mend magic user) and Akutai Mahou Tsukai (evil big magic user) I realize now with my current japanese skills that these names sucked. None of these exist on my account anymore.

After my japanese naming stint, I took a two month break from GW. I came back later, deleted my older characters (which I've regreted since birthday presents >_<) and made a ranger I named Blaise Smartshot. Obviously because I wanted to shoot smart, not dumb. She serves as barrage/interrupt now, which isn't unique, but I get a fair amount of interrupts and deal good damage with her.

I also made a war called Queen Blade at about the same time. I remember seeing someone with the word King in their name, and this name just popped into my head and forced me to make her. She's an axe war atm, though I originally inteded her to use swords.

I made a monk I called Sanctious Blaise, which I intended to make into a 55 monk. Sadly, I finished her right when griffon farming got nerfed. She did get me into healing however, and I'm proud to say I'm prolly one of the better pve healers out there.

I had a necro I named Cursed Blaise, which I obviously named as an opposite to my monk and an alternate to my ranger. I deleted her, though I don't recall my reasoning for doing so. It might've been to make space for a pvp factions slot for the faction weekend though. And two days after I deleted her, they allowed you to get another character slot (though I don't remember if it was from preorder or if you could buy character slots). I wasn't very happy.

I remade my necro as Rhea Bastion, a character I invented for a story I was working on. Factions character. She was the first in a long line of characters (up to now actually) that I've named from characters I invented. She's a MM/SS necro, like most of them out there now.

I made a Sin called Tenka Aiko, once again based off a character i made and another factions character, which I mainly use for PvP now. She doesn't do well in finding groups in PvE even though she rarely dies.

I made a rit called Natsumi Tokiha, another character I made. Obviously factions character. While monks can never truly be substituted with a Rit, rits make wonderful healers or rit lords. And for me, above all else, vengeful farming ftw!

I made a mesmer I called Majou Robin. She actually isn't named after a character I created, but because I became interested in an anime called Witch Hunter Robin. I don't really use her much, but sometimes i play a fast casting fire ele in homage to the anime that never got the response it deserved. (Sci Fi even had it slated for a live action version with some famous people on board, but it got cancled and since sci fi has horrible customer response and no reasonable way to dispense information, many people wondered what happened to the live action version... and this is off topic and i'm rambling so i'll stop now)

I made and remade several elementalists to this point, but I don't remember their names. The one I currently have is called Grace Noble. Once again, a character I made. I hope she lasts longer, as I lose money everytime I make an ele and level them up to 20, buy max armor, runes, weapons, etc. She's my only non lvl 20 character and is lvl 6 somewhere in Istan. Nightfalls character.

I have a Haley Wynne, paragon named after one of my characters. She's somewhere in Kournan atm, leveling up her heroes.

Last but not least, I have Lynne Reisil, a derv I named after another character I made. I was running out of character names at this point, so I actually went and made the character Lynne is named after. She's currently in Vabbi getting the princes to side with her.

The Hand Of Death- Necromancer

Needed something related to death and there was a magic card that I always used to have and it is the only one I remember.

Barbed Blossom- Ranger

I needed something that had something to do with nature, and I liked blossom. Barbed was added so that it made it sound like she was beautfil but tough and quick to anger or something along those lines.

Radiant Obscurity- Ritualist

I was thinking along the lines of the light of the souls radiating from the depths of the underworld.

Llyana Delirius- Mesmer

Llyana because it is somewhat close to Lyssa and delirius is suppose to resemble delusion which is mesmery.

Falcate Moon- Dervish

I picked this because I was thinking about the shape of a scythe blade and how it was a crescent moon. Crescent didn't sound much like a name so it became falcate.

Green Mill- Name of restarant my family owned for awhile, it was actually called "The Green Mill".

Silly Warrior- Only name I could think of 5 years back when I started playing Tribes-Original, and I've kept the name ever since, because its never taken.

Kalphite King- Kalphite Queen was a big boss from Runescape...and I liked the name so I changed it from queen to king....

Uranium Bullet- Used in Uranium 235 nuclear bombs, they fire the uranium bullet to ignite the explosion .

Kusanagi Takeru = Warrior. Kusanagi is the name of a magical sword in Japanese mythology, and Takeru is the name of one of the owners (actually the one that gave it its name).

I'm possibly the world's biggest wine geek (I won't bore anyone with the details but I seriously can back this up).

Vitis Vinifera (MM necro and my all-around net alias): genus/species of the winegrape
The Wine Advocate (Dervish): my favorite wine publication
Cabernet Collecter (spirit spammer Rit): well, I collect Cabernets (among many other varieties)
Cabernet Collection (this SS necro in the avatar): see above
Cabernet Sauvignons (assn shadow form farmer): well, the singular was taken
Cabernets and Pinots (mule Paragon): love em both
and my other two

and......
Pinay Protector (all-around monk): a nod to my affinity towards Pinays
Seamus Laphroiag (farmer & KoaBD War): one of my favorite Scotches and a classic Scottish first name

I usually try to take Latin names referring to death. My Monk's name is Mortis Vigoratus which means Death Healer

My nec's name Mortis Ubiquitous-Death found everywhere a past nec's name was Mortis Interruptus which is a play on coitus interruptus. I named my minion master ABBOTOIRE which is french for slaughter house. My warrior-Trvth Jvstice is of course from Superman's motto; "Truth, Justice and the American Way." I tried to make it look Roman by substituting v's for u's.

All my character names have a suggestion of ice or the japanese word for ice "aisu." In just about every online game I play, my name is "Ice Dragon" and if that's taken, I throw in my favorite random three numbers, 981. (Don't ask, I've had a bit of an obsession with these kind of things as my "gamer handle" for years now, long story.)

So now that I've taken care of the back-story, my Necromancer's name is Deaths Icy Sting (pretty self explainitory), my warrior is Ice Drgn (would've been Ice Dragon but it was taken so I just shortened dragon to drgn), my ranger is Icy Barrage after one of my favorite ranger elites, my assassin is Hakabakashii Aisu (Aisu, as I said, is japanese for ice while Hakabakashii means "swift", thought it would suit the proffession), and my Paragon is Sousui Aisu (sousui means commander or leader in japanese).

And there you have the explination of my character's names.

Edit: Also, I've just recently created a mesmer in Pre-Searing (Not going for legendary defender, just love the scenery) who is named Genkaku Aisu (Genkaku meaning illusion).

lol i have a bunch of chars with names starting with loki

p/w - issac mendez
mo/me - katoka hbasa
w/me - kyoshiro muramasas
n/mo - loki seijuro
r/w - naku hakkyou
me/e - rico slaven
d/mo - shalrac sanchaez
mo/n - loki is leet
a/r - loki itashiura
e/me - loki seiguro
n/mo - loki senriku
r/w - loki zomci
rit/me - odin bascura

o_o I didn't know that was from star trek xD lol~
star trek ftw :3

I took my first character's name seriously. Shyft the Pyro is a D&D character I have played in multiple campaigns and love dearly. He started out as an off-hand character concept in a throwaway game, but has grown on me over the years. Couldn't make him a dwarf in GW, so I made him look like me instead

All my other characters' names are puns, one way or another. My main I take to be a representation of me, at least in some way (male); the rest are eye candy

A Little Death (N/Me) A reference both to Death Magic - which we all know a MM necro has to have a lot of - and to what the French call little death. Look it up or PM me if you can't find it

Broken Arrow (R/W) No relation to the nuclear power plant. At the time I made this character, Ranger and Warrior were the only two professions I had no skill unlocks for. I had heard good things about Experise and how it could modify the cost of Warrior attack skills, so I envisioned a Ranger going into melee instead of shooting a bow. Why? Because she broke the arrows on purpose I do use her as a bow ranger, and the irony is never as thick as when a drawn arrow gets stuck in her hand

Never Online (PvP) I am a PvE gamer, and I rarely - if ever - PvP. I do like going into Random Arena now and then, where people don't care as much whether they win or lose. As a result, that character (in one form or another) has been online long enough for me to earn the Gladiator title.

Imitates Life (A/Rt) Made during the Factions preview, my "fake Assassin" has completed the Factions storyline and many a Kurzick faction farming run. The name is a pun on the class combination, but, seeing how no one wanted Assassins in their mission parties, I started "faking" a spirit-spamming Ritualist, first with Weapon of Quickening and then with Ritual Lord, changing my character (imitating) to capitalize on the realities of Factions (life).

Hold My Ashes (Rt) Aside from the obvious item skill pun, this Ritualist only made it as far as Shing Jea Monastery because she was created as a "mule" - made to hold items for other characters.

Piercing Melody (P) I wanted something that would describe the Paragon well for my Nightfall preview Paragon. "Melody" is about the shouts and chants and echoes, and "piercing" is the type of damage spears do. The name didn't take, and when I tried to recreate the character after Nightfall release, I went with...

Piercing Vibration (P) This was more like it. Still a reference to both of the above, plus innuendo. Think about what a vibrator is and what precisely it pierces Unfortunately, the Paragon didn't excite me as much after Nightfall release as it did during the preview, so this character has been relegated to storage.

Scything Cleavage (D) Another Nightfall preview character. To cleave is to divide, penetrate or pass through something as if by a cutting blow, but we all know that cleavage is not just the act of cleaving something The character didn't last. I deleted it during the preview, thinking I had no interest in playing a melee class (especially after the way the Assassin turned out in Factions), but posted it in a forum thread elsewhere. Needless to say, by the time I realized I wasn't into the Paragon the name was taken. After much consideration, I remade the character as...

Turbulent Dreams (D/P) I'd love to take credit for the coincidence, but I swear I had no idea about the details of the Nightfall storyline when I made the character. I thought about the spinning wheels of female Dervish skirts and the word turbulent stuck in my mind, insisting I use it to describe the Dervish. For all its bluntness, Scything Cleavage did describe two important aspects of the class - using a scythe and striking multiple targets with a single blow, as if cutting through one to get to the other. Still, nothing came to mind; the more I thought about Dervish the more I came back to the dance - which initially I did not like as much as the Paragon's. Stuck, I resigned myself to the associations of the word turbulent, thinking I'd never be able to pin down anything about the Dervish as well as my original name did. You could say I was pleasantly surprised when Melonni - a Dervish - started talking about the dreams she was having

And last, but not least...

May It Never Come (W/Mo) I love pre-Searing Ascalon dearly. Never Online used to be a pre-Searing W/Mo of mine before I moved it to post, deleted it and started going into Random Arena. I always come back, even if it is just for a little bit. With the new pre-Searing title track, however, I might need to make for a longer stay...

Kurzuck And Suxons - A guildie's name

<---- My main character

The name started as Succubus. As mesmers are suppose to use beauty and illusion to kill enemy, similar to succubus. The queen is succubus is named Lilith. So the name is set as Lilith, but I also wanted it to sound more Asian because the character is going to be Cathan. So I dropped the 'th' and made it Lili. The psychic part is after Psychic Distraction, my favorite skill.

A collection of characters for me:

Brutus Nightshade (Warrior)- first char I created. Just made it up, wanted a big warrior with a mohawk.

Kim Cattrall (Monk) - She heals, in more ways than one.

Lefty the Clumsy (Ranger) - came up with the name in tribute of my twin, who had just blown out his left ACL. A clumsy ranger? Ick. Add in her pet spider, Kenny, of South Park fame.

Puppetmaster Jaana (Necro) - Master of Puppets and the druid of Ultima in one

Arigato Mr Robbotto (Sin) - He's my storage now, but he dances the robot.

Ralgha Nar Hhallas (Ritualist) - after doing the temple with the rit who spoke no english, this Kilrathi rit was born.

Dark Priest Shaft (Mesmer) - He makes his own reality

Felicity Mindflayer (Elementalist) - Hey, wife made this one up...don't look at me.

Miss Demarc (Ranger) - Elonian ranger, didn't want to give up Kenny. She can't hit the broad side of a barn.

Petr Quincy Taggart (Paragon) - Never give up! Never Surrender! (and Peter was one character too long...I used spell czech on this one.)

Jocelyn Forgedawn (Dervish) - Another wife creation.

Become My Minion-Necro, my first character I made and my most used one at that. I had seen the minions inside the the GW manual and I loved it thinking I would always play it It also has a sort-of-powerful ring to it. I've had alot of parties say they won't become my minion, and most of the time they do O_o. After the nerf I switched between...well more necro builds that I can name depending on place and what I feel like

Lyetha Elfsdaughter-Second character made, elementalist, tribute to Lyetha Elfsdaughter from "Ghostwalker", name had a nice ring to it and I made her to look what I pictured Lyetha as, or at least I tried to

Fayt Elfsdaughter-Warrior, using Lyetha's last name I spent time looking for a name that would mix well with it and decided on Fayt

Abel Nightingale-Mesmer, tribute to Abel Nightingale from Trinity Blood

Sieg Harrt-Ranger, named after Sieg Hart from Rave Master, had to add in an extra "r" for it was already taken

Ryder Nightingale-Dervish, using a name I created in an RP mixed with Abel's last name.

(Soon to be made) Malkiore Hiems-A RP name I made up, I love the name Malkiore, I was thinking of going Nightingale but that's already been used twice >.> Hard to think of another good name for Malkiore in my case >.<

I agree with you on your first statement. However, shame on you for flaming and adding nothing of substance to this thread. Go to school and take Tolerance and Reading 101, because I do believe that this thread is about names and I don't think you posted on that subject.Seeing as I did take Tolerance 101 I'll let you off with a warning, next time post something significant.

Came up with my rangers name: I Eternal Glory I after I saw the trailer to Harry Potter: Goblet of Fire, call me a nerd I don't care
II Mielikki II after the creator of the bear, which seems fitting seeing as she has a bear as a pet.
Legends Nev R Dye after an old clan of mines logo/saying.
Crazy Calm:Necro...named after the line in Sin City
Crisis Redux...came up with Crisis on the spot and decided to make it Redux because it's a character being remade, being brought back.

Let him off with a warning? You're decidedly not a mod mate.

My characters are all named through my random name generator:

http://www.geocities.com/arcady0/SciFi/lifepath.html

I prefer names that feel real for people, and the generator, designed for use in science fiction works, is based on actual names - making it ideal for me to get character names out of.

well. Nice thread.

For many characters, I wanted two things: a first name close to me, and a last name which might indicate the profession.

So all my male characters have the first name Dru, a variant on my own name. My female characters I named after my daughters--who were themselves named for notable literary women: Beatrice (Dante's beloved and literary symbol), and Penelope (Odysseus' clever wife).

Last names have been attempts to suggest the class of the character...with some failures or exceptions (or, in some cases, have been suggested to me by my five-year-old daughter, who enjoys the character creation screens...)

Necro (and first character!) : Dru Shadesilver
Rit: Dru Rainshadow (given that rain = life, and it's a healer rit.)
Ranger: Beatrice Fallenstar
Warrior: Penelope Aeneas (Aeneas, of course, the warrior hero from Virgil's Aeneid)
Dervish: Dru Rainstorm
Paragon: Dru Shakespeare (a favorite author, and clever pun on the Paragon's skillset, I though...)

And my ranger's pet, a black moa from deep in the Echovald forest.... I needed something kinda emo (if you've seen the moa, you know why emo...)...and then I found that the moa is supposed to be female.... so: Ophelia, from Hamlet.

Can you tell I'm slightly a literature geek? That influenced some choices too. I used to have a tiger named T.S....

good thread, peeps.

Oh kewl the names thread resurrected! I had read a lot of this then one day it was buried way way down...

(Warning: Nerdy info ahead!)

Every single one of my characters has a suffix that comes from my favorite all time anime (GiTs) Ghost in the Shell (aka Stand Alone Complex Series, oh and the film it originated from). And since i LOVE films, their names come from first and formost, animes, then etc films.

Mrs Kusanagi Wa/X - My first character back from day one of prophecies, before my theme began, yet the name comes from the main character of GiTs: Major Motoko Kusanagi.
Batou of Nine Mo/Me - First themed character, the second primary character of GiTs, suffix stems from the Security Section that they work for: Section 9. He was the Major's right hand man, and supported her with any mission they had. Felt like a fitting role for a monk.
Kusanagi of Nine Ele/Mo - Name and Suffix origins are obvious. Second usage refers to a "second spawn" of the primary character in the GiTs film story.
Togusa of Nine Ne/Me - Name also from GiTs, a supporting character with the only "full human" characteristics. Ironic as my Necro eh?
Motoko of Nine Rit/Me - Name origin is obvious, fits on ritualist as she was only on a first name basis with mebe 2 people in her life. Ritualists are also very "mysterious".
Saito of Nine As/R - Another supporting character from GiTs, was a sharpshooter, a loose fit for an Assasin ya?
Pazu of Nine De/W - Yet another supporting character from GiTs. Was basically one of the "muscle". Also a good fit?

Aeon of Nine R/Mo - Started breaking into new names but continued suffix theme. Originally from the MTV original anime (yuck!), but i took it cause of my fondness for the film that was made in 2005: Aeon Flux. She was agile and elegant, like my ranger!
Fuu of Nine Pa/W - From another anime i am fond of called: Samuri Champloo. She was one of three main characters. She was fun and was the glue to their little band of travelers, much like a paragon to a group.

So there is my breakdown. Not that deep, but kinda reflects me and my fondess for certain film and anime. I already have names in mind for my mesmer and PvP slot! Also got some ideas for future classes. lolz! And thats my GW naming history. Love this thread! Some of yall have some REALLY creative names.

cheers!
