[Jihelu]

Ever need help with a name? Just go look up some shit on League of legends and change a few letters and bam!
Totally isn't cheating.

Oh well.
I like names with random apostraphies and shit.

Rek'tar.
Rash'al

etc.

Oh, so you're the one that has been doing that.

I've seen three League of Legends champ names in the last year that I can think of. The letters weren't even changed. Two times, they looked just like the champs in question.

They are all dead now to my knowledge, but, it hasn't been a year just yet so I can't, "call them out".

They never did anything wrong, it just made me laugh pretty good.  




The black dwarf named Korath though. I saw this guy a few times. I have always wondered if that dwarf was supposed to be: (been over a year)

Korath the Pursuer - Guardians of the Galaxy

[Revenant]

Name character after random object or implement which describes their personality and/or appearance. These tend to be easier to remember, whereas names with extra vowels and the like are always hard to keep in mind. If I typo while furiously hammering out "rescue eerreekah" ten times, and you die, it's all on you. Yes, exotic is neat, it also makes things hard in tense situations, in the end, I'd opt for practicality with the syntax.

[Synthesis]

I always name my characters after common sdesc descriptors, so if anyone ever tries to contact me, they first have to fight through a dozen PCs with the word "Eyed."

[Marauder Moe]

I have pledged to myself that future characters will use recycled Zalanthan names.

[Patuk]

I have a lot of characters with Armenian names. It seems fitting to name non-nobles in Zalanthas after the most often screwed over people in the history of earh.

[The Silence of the Erdlus]

I tend to use a lot of norse names.

[Alesan]

http://www.rinkworks.com/namegen/

Almost all of my names come from this. The advanced interface is especially useful if you want a name with a certain sound. I just refresh the page until something sounds good.

Nasr
Nergal
Nuha

I see what you did there Nergal

and seidhr too, actually

[Clearsighted]

It has been quite a few years, so I don't mind calling them out.

In the Byn, I once had to deal with a Runner named 'Khal Drogo'. This was before even the HBO series, IIRC.

[LauraMars]

I love naming my characters after old Armageddon characters or names from the history page.

[John]

I love naming my characters after old Armageddon characters or names from the history page.

I've been guilty of reusing names of people in game I once knew (years after their death).

IT'S BEEN YOU

[Jengal]

I usually name characters with a view of shortening it to a two or three letter nickname like Pi or Pho or Xo

That's a great way to get accidentally killed, too.

[BadSkeelz]

I like names that I can type quickly and smoothly, on the assumption that others are also needing to do that with "assist" or "rescue".

So far I've used Turkish(-derived) and Russian names.

That's the kind of initiative I like to see in my Runners. Runner Amos is definitely going to get a rescue from me. Runner Sifqo is fucked, unless he tightens that shit to 'Sif'.

[Malken]

The more K's in the name, the better.

Khae-Khanda the Khan'ibal Seik was my favorite.

[RogueGunslinger]

Kakky-Kikky the half-giant and his inix named Kay.

Oh, so you're the one that has been doing that.

I haven't done it YET!
YET!
I just copy other forms of media.

....
You know which ones.

[bcw81]

I use a lot of Sanskrit and Arabic names for commoners, and Roman names for southern nobles.

Names are preferably around five characters in length as that is the proper length - more is too much, less is too little.

I particularly prefer names that start with B's, C's, F's, and S's.

[valeria]

I tend to go through the alphabet.  ... if by tend, I mean that I prefer not to repeat letters until I've completed the entire alphabet (but not necessarily in order).  Yes, I'm a little bizarre.
