"What's in a name?", I say. Try and type your first and last name with your elbows and see what comes up.

By the way Ryu, I stress this IS NOT a role-playing game, it's a pvp-based game.

these may work also...

Sir Uninspired
I stole this name
The Nameless one
Give Me names
I need your Name
Cant find a name
No Imagination

and my personal favorite, though it may be too long.

No one group with me because it took me 5 hours to even make a name and i almost gave up even trying to play, even after spending $50 because i have no imagination, and if you group with me odds are i'll quit if something gets to be difficult because tha's just the way i am.

I dont know if that will fit though.

So why do i get the option of a PvP or RP server at the start of the game?

I cannot believe this thread has gone on for this long. 4 hours to create a name? Dude, what the hell are you smoking?

I picked my first name in 5 minutes. I created a Monk, and I dig Buddhism, so.....

I picked a last name of Pali (which is an old language many Buddhist texts are written in). Since this was a monk, her first name was "Zen"

Boom, Zen Pali was created.

Later, I needed another Monk for some GvG. I wanted a name that was linked to my first name. I thought of one in 30 seconds...Vixen Pali.

Not the most creative, but at least I didn't waste 4 hours thinking of it.

ryu ... i feel for you ... sadly and deeply. some monday i also leave my brain in my other pants ... but I still manage to make it work. If you have seriously spent this long trying to come up with a name, and are ready to give up, then guildwars community may be better off without ya. God forbid you actually have to put effort into a mission or a PvP tournament battle with a team. Would you give up so easily? From this thread you don't paint a pretty picture of yourself.

You are not naming your first born child ... go listen to some music ... relax ... have a drink .. and let the weight of ingeniouty fall into your head again. We could help ... whats the 1 worder that we are going off of ... Darkryu? (yeah ... <<< you wonder why that name is taken hey? Hello Korean server ... my street fighter days are coming back to haunt me)

Use that as your last name ... then tell us what primary profession you want ... we can help ... just don't give up before you have had to make 1 executive decision ...

BTW ... RP is roleplay means ... you can do the story with your friend (choose this option) ... PvP is straight for competetive battles, 4v4, team battles 4v4, and tournament style Tomb of the Primeval King 8vs8. Roleplayers can do both. PvP can only do 1

here's some more.

I was planning on Being a warrior as my main profession, I haven’t even considered a second one as i don’t see the point when I could just max out a warrior and be better then a warrior who has multi skilled, I'm a big Street Fighter and Final Fantasy fan (but after trying LOADS of different names from them I guess all the main/good ones are taken). Obviously I wanted to play RP as I did on WoW and found it a lot more fun then just playing on a PvP or PvE server, I guess that’s all the help i can give you guys

Pick a cool word like "Shinobi" and add it to another cool word, like "Raza" or "Qvix" or any other word derived from random keyboard letters that no-one ever uses. Suddenly you have a wicked Manga-style name that will make everyone think you're cool.

Job done.

try a random fantasy hero like Legolas or something and give him a misfit last name.

my archer is named "Legolas Jackson". I also have a warrior M C Shake and an ele named Douche Bagel, which i get compliments on.

try kung fu names if you can, those are always great

you should make it simple or clever. How about... Randy Milonakis?

its too easy, i dont see how you can have a problem with this.

Oh here are the other names I’ve used in other games as they might help

DarkRyu (Myth of Soma and Legend of Mir)
Mantis (World of Warcraft)
Odin (Phantasy Star Online)
Loki (Phantasy Star Online)
Gilgamesh (World of Warcraft)
Vertigo (Myth of Soma)
Catalyst (World of Warcraft)
Shindo (Legend of Mir)

There are more but that’s all i can think of - and yes every other mmorpg that I have ever played only required ONE name and not much originality

You're second profession is invaluable. If you just max out your warrior skills and not use your secondary at all, you'll get owned. Good secondaries for warriors would be Monk (most popular), Necromancer (my personal favorite), or others. You'll find that good secondaries can be very rewarding.

Why not use a descriptive to what you want your character to be?

for example ... Shadowknight Odin ...

For me ... Xgammon Baneseye (I always like xgammon ... so hes a ranger bullseye > baneseye) ...

Hexin X ... well hes a monk (smiter / necro curser xgammon > x)

Tarian Baneseye (tarian = sheild in ancient norse or greek cant remember atm)

Gasius Maximus (self explanatory nuker)

anyways ... try think of what you want your warrior to be like ... want him to be a powerful protector sheilding all from the baddies that draw near, playing the meatsheild? or an in your face hammer weilding lunatic interrupting and hurting casters? the possiblities are endless ... just try to define who you want your character to be ... then use a descriptive word with your normal names

I use anime names from shows nobody knows about...

In any case, the more 'well known' the name you pick, or names, the WORSE your chances are...

I wasn't original and I still got my character names...

Funny thing is, I see lots of porno star names taken... sheesh.

Ah right so if i pick RP i start at one end of the world and if i pick PvP i start at another? So i'm guessing PvP and RP dont get the same quests or starter area either? Also how is it fair for us RP's to be put with the PvP's as obviously us who role play are not going to be hardened hardcore pkers

PvP characters don't play the Role Playing part of the game. They start a new character and have access to every item they've unlocked while playing PvP(Via Faction Points) or through PvE. PvP Characters don't have quests/missions...and don't worry by the time you have the opportunity to fight aganist PvP only characters you'll be on level playing field with them(according to Arenanet)
