There have officially been more PCs named "Malik" than named "Amos" at this point.  The game's traditional most common name has been displaced!

Are these names from somewhere?  I personally have no idea what makes them so common.

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

Arm is evil.  And I love it.  It's like the softest, cuddliest, happy smelling teddy bear in the world, except it is stuffed with meth needles that inject you everytime

Amos is the name of a book in the Old Testament in the bible.  He was a prophet.

Next time you choose a name, google it beforehand. Or go for something with meaning in an ancient civilization. I love teutonic names or celtic.

Here's a good page..

http://www.20000-names.com

It categorizes names into different cultures/backgrounds. Arabic might be good for some tribals or whatever. I tend to stick to Teutonic, German, Celtic, and depending on the character, pretty much any of the categories can work.

No, no.

Amos was a Cajun, he lived by himself in a swamp. He hunted alligators for a living. He'd just knock 'em in the head with a stump.

Yes, beforehand is a good idea.  I often forget that part and one character's name is the alias of someone who runs a bondage website, another is the name of a webcam porn star, and a third is associated with some sort of Singapore sex forum.     :roll:

Does the staff mind if people create a character with one of those super-popular names? I was considering doing it because it'd be fun, but if it annoys the staff, I won't.

Could you please post a list of say...the top 25 most used names, if such a list is even feasible?

I have also seen the name Malik in the game Knights of the Old Republic from the Xbox. Lord Malik if I recall correctly.

"Malik" means "pinky" in Czech.  :twisted: Which makes me giggle every time I meet one.

I'm going to make a pc named Amos Malik XXXVII now.

I didn't realize that people actually named their characters Amos with regularity. There goes my Amos character idea. :(
