Character names in WoW

[the.2nd.prince]

Will you give your character a roleplaying D&D style name like the ones generated in Neverwinter Nights or Everquest such as "Riva Silvercrown", or an adjective type descriptive name such as "CrazyArchMage"?

[Brainless]

dunno yet
im having trouble thinking of names :grrr:

[PSUChemGuy]

I'm the egotistical type, so I name all of my characters after myself. In Diablo II, I had Neil, Neilman, and Neil_II through Neil_VII. I'll probably just start up another line (dynasty?) for World of Warcraft. I don't think that that's too arrogant or offensive, and should make its way through their name filter (Death to any other people named 'Neil' that name their guys before me!).

[spaker_man]

Definitely going to go with cool Role playing names and then add witty last names. There's nothing more annoying to me then seeing characters in game with names like "KiCkUrBuTt" or "LEETfewl" or "xXxSpiffymanxXx".

Such stupidity.

[the.2nd.prince]

I most definitely agree w/ spaker_man. Those types of names degrade the integrity of the gaming experience. In my experience, most mmorgs dont have these types of names b/c they are usually played by a more mature population of gamers (perhaps b/c of the patients required in playing them or the monthly fee charges). You are more likely to see a name like "xXxSpiffymanxXx" in a game of D2 rather than in a game of Everquest or UO. In any case, I hope to see these types of names disallowed in WoW and have characters with real names as opposed to nouns or adjectives or stupid catch phrases.

[Gul'Dan]

Nope, most likely some noun i find in dictionary or some name in some of the previous games i played or movies i watched.

[Ophiuchus]

The easiest and coolest names I've found that work good with MMORPG's is using mythological god's names or the names of stars/constellations.

[Martek]

I tend to make my character's names one I've used in previous games. Though I might buck that trend this time, at least for my main. However, my style is usually to have a rather short name, four to six letters long. Makes it easier for people to message me, and is more memorable than 'Alixandreana'.

And names with numbers, punctuation, editor's marks, real life references/phrases and/or more than one or two capital letters are a sign of a weak mind.

[Garlic Banana]

I'm going to name my self after some cool sounding word in the bible

Like Nebekanezer or Sodom

Or I might go with a hacked up Lord of the Rings name like "Mithranndurr" or something like that.

thats what i'll probably end up doing. useing my old D2 char names. i did that for the lineage2 beta. probably do it for warcraft :)

[Drec The Darkone]

I am gonna be Drec Darksoul, my necro from EQ, and am gonna be an undead warlock

[the_guse]

im more of a discriptive naming kind of guy. they will be names like: nubRapest, MyBootYourAss, Anal-Intruder, etc etc. Sure all of those names are against thier ELA, but i'm not worried. Blizz has never done anything in the past, the GM's havent done a thing to stop ppl now in the beta, and they will be too overwhelmed to stop me when the game goes live.

[True Knight]

Um... you probably want to rethink using "Sodom" as your character's name. It's probably considered against the naming policy--among other reasons.

[Ritz]

I'm gonna name my char the first thing i see- hence my current handle

[Cenkrill]

Firstly, everyone ignore the_guse (I could give reasons, but I don't really think I need to)

Secondly, it'd be interesting to do this with a poll :)

Thirdly, my answer :) I am going to be giving my character an RP name. Probably something I've used in a previous game, I dunno :)

[Relom]

I usually dont go for names like that. I use something simple, but not plain.

For UO i used tempest, for FFXI i used Severian, and Relom. So i would probably just use one of those.

I was wondering though, in UO more than one person could have the same name, will it be like this in WoW? i wouldnt think so do to the tell option..

[mcriket002]

Yeah, i've already started making a list of possible character names. For example "Aria" or "Areeah" or other versions that sound the same but look different. Right now I think I have about 60 names made up. Heh, i'm so anxious for this game it's crazy ;)

[Garlic Banana]

Um... you probably want to rethink using "Sodom" as your character's name. It's probably considered against the naming policy--among other reasons.

:scratch:

Ummm why would I want to change my name? I can see why Sodomy would be against the rules but why Sodom?

[Talismaine]

Banana– maybe I'm wrong but it might have something to do with Iraq. =)

Anyhoo, I'm probably gonna name my char(s) with some random names I come up with from my imagination (or wherever those thoughts come from). Unfortunately, I can realy only think of last names right now (like Thunderfist for a Tauren or Ironaxe for a Dwarf) which I'm not sure will even be included. :(

[tonkpils]

Something that I won't mind being called over and over. Like a cool nickname or something. Nothing descriptive though, but not entirely "fantasy" if you catch my drift.

[Lombard Silos]

let the good times role...

i found it necessary to post a message regarding nothing.. 100th post.

woop?

oh since this is about names, i plan on naming my characters like what my posting name is.. something in latin probably.. not quite sure

[Galron Kincaid]

I have pretty much all of the names i'll use already in mind :)

[Aquilo]

I'll use a fantasy-setting name, and because I'm going to be an Orc, I just have to get a name with a Z in it...
Hm... my current name is Gimilzôr (guess where that is from?)

[Qbob]

Sadly, someone on this forum already beat me to the name, "Gnomer Pyle". For a normal or PvP server I'm going to use a name a bit like that. I know that my female orc warlock will be named, "Johny Cash". For an RP server I'll just use one of my many D&D names I've used through my few years of playing(My characters die alot for some strange reason).

[Apollo]

I always use fantasy names or names taken from history/mythology like Scheherezade (a persian storyteller) although that proved difficult with other people when they used the /tell command...

For WoW I'm going to use Apollo but I don't know whether to give him a surname. Hasn't Blizzard already planned something for getting a surname for your character ingame? If so, I don't want to have a second surname like Apollo Starfury-Truthbearer. Anybody know anything more about whether surnames will be implemented?

[Rook]

Hmmm...I'd rather ahve a short name, yet an RP name. I'm thinking of Rook, but I wonder how many people will think of that. Anyways, I've got a lot of names in mind. Maybe different versions of Rook...Oh well, all in good time...all in good time...

Rook

[True Knight]

:scratch:

Ummm why would I want to change my name? I can see why Sodomy would be against the rules but why Sodom?

For the same reason, basically. The city of Sodom is the basis for our word "sodomy", because it was famous for that practice. That's why it might be considered offensive to use it. (I'm not saying that it definitely would be, it just seems like a fairly likely possibility.)

That was me. I'm not in the beta or anything so the character doesn't exist yet, but I appreciate the sentiment of not using it since I mentioned it already. I have a few other parody names that I might like to use, assuming that the naming policy allows that sort of thing. Those are only for my secondary characters, though. My main character will have a normal, fantasy type name.

[The Shadow 2]

I think you all have very good ideas and great names but i know that i am going to use somthing out of history. No not like Merlin or King Arthor or any thing like that but some unknow knight or sorceror. I dont know of any one yet but im sure to find one.



The Shadow 2

[Kashya]

I like pretty or poetic names... I also like unique names that I make up myself.. You'll never see a character of mine named something like xXxKillYOUxXx, hehe...

[GaiaWombat]

I think I'll probably just rearrange the names and surnames of already existing warcraft heroes, such as Durn Harpyslayer or something similar. I would like something easy to type and memorable, so those who are crushed underfoot in PvP will remember not to mess with my badass Tauren. :cool:

Marn Thunderhorn is a cool name as well. I just wish I had beta so I could actually name a character!

P.S. I know Blizzard will probably not allow me to use the exact names of Warcraft heroes, so I'll probably just rearrange them. I suck at creating original names, and Blizzard names are just so damn cool.

[RabidWaffle]

I have found that Russian and any other Eastern European laguage has good sounding names

[Utinam]

I tend to use foreign languages, too. The language depends upon the race/class. For example, my dwarf will be named in Finnish and my troll will be named in Swahili.

[Johanass "Johan" Tassen]

Hmmm. Mebbe I should use Welsh. You'll be tongue-tied so badly you'll need three dentists, a crowbar, and a couple mountain dews just to work through my FIRST name. Example of Welsh - Chuir M' Athair Mise Dhan Taigh Charraideach. That's a song title for crying out loud. Or how about - Do Ghaidheil Shiatail, or, Rachainn A Shuiridh' Air Oighrig?

Alternately I might use Latin or Gaelic, but most likely I'll use obscure, nifty names and such possibly some literary allusions. Still, Irish names sounds nifty. Logie O'Buchan the dwarf and Finlay MacDonald the human, both members of a local guild, The Boys of Lough. However I tend to lean towards Night Elves and thus need a name less Leprechaunish and a bit mer' epic if'n ye get my meanin' now.

[PlagueBearer]

Definitely going to go with cool Role playing names and then add witty last names. There's nothing more annoying to me then seeing characters in game with names like "KiCkUrBuTt" or "LEETfewl" or "xXxSpiffymanxXx".

Such stupidity.

I think I have a solution to this problem.

Okay. You've got the bunch of people who want fantasy names; "RP or you will face forced renaming!" You've got the bunch that want whatever name they choose; the "KiCkUrBuTt"s and "LEETfewl"s.

I like the idea of a random generator. It's true that no one gets to choose their own name in real life anyways, and that would help keep the "f4tb4st4rD"s and "St4nKyHo"s from ruining the World of WarCraft. But on the other hand, the "LEETfewl"s and "xXxSpiffymanxXx"s want to play, too. So here's my proposal for a compromise:

When you start the game, you are randomly assigned a suitable name which suits your race. However, you are also prompted to choose a nickname, which can be changed at any time, to anything that is within a slightly more lenient standard for nameage. This name is displayed to anyone who is 1) In a clan with you, 2) is in a party with you, or 3) has added you to their friends list.

That way, the RPers can enjoy the feel of the World of WarCraft and avoid unWarCraft names simply by choosing their company well, and those who want to be called G1mL1z0r get their wish, without harming any RPer. :winner:

:buddies:

[xuNvaUnTeD_wArDeNx]

Already have a name for my Gnome- not saying it though, its so darn cool someone would steal it :lol:

Anyway I like using Welsh names. behindthename.com is a great place to find names. And those Welsh have a habit of ending names in -yn .

This post has no purpose other than to say that I about fell out of my chair laughing when I read "Gnomer Pyle." That's about the cleverest thing I've seen in a while.

[Vectom]

I'm for simple but yet not offensive and stupid (hello XxXblablaXxX guys) names. Not a big fan of "Shoriokar GreenFist the Mighty" kinda names :lol:

My 2cents

Vect

[Galron Kincaid]

I'd like to use Thunderhorn as well for my Tauren Druid!


Can i?

[George Bush]

i think they should ban numbers in names. numbers AND special symbols.
gg.

[llokii]

I normally just use Llokii, but I think I'll switch up and use a different name from Norse mythology. Too many Loki's running around these days! ;)

[wsimian]

I tend to use foreign languages, too. The language depends upon the race/class. For example, my dwarf will be named in Finnish and my troll will be named in Swahili.

I like that idea. My assassins on D2 have oriental names ... which are easy to find and rather savvy sounding if you're a martial arts buff.

[red.13]

I've played for quite a long time in RPG (not cRPG) and UO, so I'm rather used to normal names - no ***i*am*the*hacker***. I remember that if you wanted to join specific server in my country (Poland) you had to choose good sounding name that could fit the 'feeling-of-rpg'. I'm going to play NE and my possible names are: Elmoran, Quarion or Arkoen(I'll think of better ones).

[Morphina]

What i miss in most mmorpg's is to use the single quote --> ' in names. Especialy for Orkish and Goblin names in fantasy books a single quote is often used.

Names like : Gul'dan
Balak'grukh
Har'grum

would only add to the game.

further i detest names with l33t speak, many capitals, numbers and such.
I would like a strict naming pollicy. And bad names can really ruin my game.

[SpiritWalker]

gg.
I think they should just make it so that you can't make a name with them, by allowing them to be typed in the name choosing field is the same as allowing it to be in the game, imo.

I agree, so there should be allowed: normal letters and capital (but only
if using them as kind of surnames or situations like this Xxx'Yyy) and '.
The name shouldn't be longer than 20 characters. It's my opinion.

[Wickedly_Evil]

Personally I'd like an enforced name server or two.

I really hate running around to see biznitch & coqrocket proclaiming they are the masters of the universe.

It's really hard to force people to role-play, but a couple of Name N-a-z-i's can be a very good thing when you have the aforementioned running around in triplicate on your server.

In UO armor made by John Smith would say his name upon inspection. This is a cool feature, and hopefully it might appear one day in WoW. But who wants to buy a breastplate made by Ditry Snotrag?

[Brainless]

well, ive thought of a name, finally

flynt for a human

dunno why, i just like it :)

[Sweetpea]

Anal-Intruder
umm, i think that one's copyrighted you bad bad boy.

i usually have peas in my names like peapod, rottenpea, qtpea, and naturally sweetpea. that's me!

[DeVries]

i usually have peas in my names like peapod, rottenpea, qtpea, and naturally sweetpea. that's me!

If anything, that sounds like a gnome :lol:

For my pirate, I'm going with James Flint, or if I can't get James as a first name, I'll go with Mad James. Hopefully surnames are available immediately upon creation, because it would suck to run around until level 20 as "Mad" :lol:

As for my Undead Rogue's name, it will be DeVries if no one takes it first. Needless to say I'll be concentrating on Assassination skills for him :thumbsup:

[FenixStryk4]

It's a good thing my name is a mix of fantasy and still rocks! :) FenixStryk... you can't say it's like some sort of 14m1337 name since it contains no numbers, and, if you ask me, sounds like a good Tauren / Troll name :)

I'd have to go with answer Z: Make your own name that doesn't sound unusual but is still liked by you, the player. I saw an example earlier that was, I believe, XxXSpiffermanXxX? Well, why not just name yourself Spifferman VI or something like that? Still sounds fairly fantasy-based, especially if you're a human / dwarf.

I'm pretty sure almost anyone can get away with their preferred name, even if it's very unusual, as long as they slightly augment it by adding a little roman numberals to it or something :P :creep:

[devin]

This post has no purpose other than to say that I about fell out of my chair laughing when I read "Gnomer Pyle." That's about the cleverest thing I've seen in a while.

i dont get it. somone explain! what is Gnomer Pyle??? why is that funny? :yawn: agffhhhhhhh

[Spike-Rogue]

I dont know whats so hard about thinkin up a name but i know no1's gonna use mine muhhuhahaha! *XxX-SiL3nT-SnYp4-XxX*

[Ambient]

my name will be XxX-gofmofmgofmgofm-XxX... :clap:


no, really i think my name will be sumthin like Pano Qn'dorf or sumthin like that..i hafta stay with my Pano names though, been using them since the days of Diablo one!

[Father Jack]

i dont get it. somone explain! what is Gnomer Pyle??? why is that funny? :yawn: agffhhhhhhh

If this isn't a joke, I'll explain that its a play on the name Gomer Pyle, who was on the andy griffith show and then had his own show where he was a Marine, who was so stupid he infuriated his Sgt. with humorous concequences. :teeth:

[C99]

going to go with "Fork Bomb"

[SuperSamuri09]

It's really hard for me to take people who name themselves weird stuff seriously. I will most definitely be making a good rp'ing name. For instance, my first character, a dwarven fighter, will be called Grathar Stonefist.

[FlagshipAmadeus]

Okay what are you people thinking?
Special servers with special naming rules?
Bannning certain kinds of names?

If people like RPGmastahPhearMi want to look stupid, let them. They're just names.

Anyways, you people need more interesting names. Seriously.
You need names like mine. But don't steal them. If you do I will hunt you down. Besides, many of these are from some computer games I made myself, or account / character names on other online games. So don't.

Names like Thud Ironfoot, Korn Kropgrower, Arjuna, Father Whitehair, Iosepa, Padre Canoso, Johnny Pegleg, Rave, Sledge, Endust, Damian Saguaro, Dr. Sphagnum, Kavako, Geekolith, Mastadok, King Tut, Makarathadorts, Beep Beep, Ducto, Scott Brown, Biffidus, Basillica,TheTexan, Sensei, Joseph the Wall, Gluteus, Princess Sko, or Ohvvo.

And maybe some more everyday names, like Arthur, Alejandro, Simon, Jasper, Demitri, Amadeus, Ashoka, Yasas, Jeffery, Fauntleroy, or Eddie.

I must say, I find it more anoying to see names like KnightofJustice or FrodoTheBrave or Questolas than names like Doodin101 or Arthas. or xXxL337PWNX0RxXx. Seriously.

As an extra bonus, I will bow down to anyone who can tell me where I got the names Yasas, Iosepa, and an easy one, Padre Canoso. :spy:

Honestly, a lot of those names are simply terrible. I can only assume that those were a joke. As for servers with special naming rules, it's not unheard of. Most MMO's, if not all, do not allow numbers in the name of a character, nor ASCII script. On an RP server, there would definitely be strict naming conventions, in order to maintain the roleplaying atmosphere.

As for Iosepa, I may be way off mark, but it looks to me like the root of Joseph, from which the name Jesus comes. But, like I said, I may be way, way wrong.

[FlagshipAmadeus]

DING DING DING!

You is right. :thumbsup:

Twice. yes, they sort of jokes. Okay not sort of, they were jokes. I'm not sure what I meant. :cheesy:

And yes, you are right about Iosepa. It is the Hawaiian word for Joseph, I beleive, and is the name of a town in Skull Valley, Utah. About two jundered years ago, I think, this mormon dude went to Hawaii and convereted a bunch of Hawaiians into mormons. Then they went to Utah, the promised land, and built a town (Iosepa). Then they all got leperosy or something like that, and died. And not to bash on mormons, but I have been told that the reason Utah is the promised land for them is because everywhere else was taken. Land in Utah was pretty darn cheap. if you don't beleive me, well, I went to Iosepa. So there ARE things such as Hawaiian mormons. Who would have known?

But I am serious about finding names like Gimlo Rocknose more annoying than names like SupperNub12091 or xJ00istehL337NESSx. Seriously. :yep:

[DeVries]

But I am serious about finding names like Gimlo Rocknose more annoying than names like SupperNub12091 or xJ00istehL337NESSx. Seriously. :yep:

I can see where you're coming from if you're not into roleplaying. However my only experience with roleplaying online was in Shadowbane, where roleplaying was actually pretty good. That is, until the d00ds realized what was going on, and decided to persecute us roleplayers. Henceforth, d00dish names became associated with, well, a-holes in my book. There will probably be at most one or two roleplaying servers available, with the rest being "regular" servers with less-strict naming conventions. Although, don't expect to see much 1337sp34k in the names themselves, as Blizzard probably won't allow numbers or ASCII.

[SuperSamuri09]

If you look at the names actually used in warcraft, you'll find them all to be a bit similar. Jaina proudmoor, grom hellscream, etc. etc. Those are the kind of names that I want to use for my character, not just because it's part of the universe, but because it's the feeling that your character could become as famous as those characters and you want to have a serious name that stands out.
I suppose AsSrAmMeR59 stands out pretty well on it's own, but it doesn't really feel right for the characters. What kind of freak would name a kid AsSrAmMeR anyway?

[stubseid]

Manboy! That will be my name! :P

[L337|Master_Chief]

Dienodie or Mark_V :winner:

[L337|Master_Chief]

Sorry for the double post something went wrong

[CaptHowdy]

Definitely none of that adjective naming crap. I'll probably just keep it simple with a cool sounding first name, no last.

[Rook]

GAAAAAH! Changed my mind again. Stewie. :D

Rook

[C99]

For one of my characters I'm just going to use my real name. Doesn't get more realistic than that, RP boys :P

[red.13]

I only wonder how Blizz will resolve this problem? Or, maybe the will be specific rules for each server? Too many questions and no anserws. I know - I should get use to it...oh Blizz... :innocent:

[SpanGi]

I just hope that there will be a much smaller about of Diablo2istic names (Roxor_Barb2000, StaticSorc, Noobpwner.. you name it). Just a NAME instead what you think your char will be :) Hopefully alot of people will want to do this! :evil:

[Cheeky2525]

And maybe some more everyday names, like Arthur, Alejandro, Simon, Jasper, Demitri, Amadeus, Ashoka, Yasas, Jeffery, Fauntleroy, or Eddie.


Those arn't everyday names dude... Who do you know that is named Fauntleroy.

BTW I have a pretty cool name. I have it on a piece of paper but I am too lazy to go get it. It is like Terasidil(something in Latin) Shadowbane

[Havard]

Can someone explain to me why "L337" names are popular?

[SpanGi]

Can someone explain to me why "L337" names are popular?
It makes sense if you know the meaning of "L33T" :idea:

Anyway, maybe Blizzard could make some kind of hyper-advanced Name Generator, or the like (ofcourse, if a name has been used it's deleted from the database of available names). :surprise:

[Havard]

Yeah, I am aware of "L337 speak"... elite... why the heck is it popular? Calling yourself "elite" in an alpha-numeric code sounds about as corny as you can get. Ok, maybe "R1(0 $U@\/3" would be worse. :lol: What am I missing?

Well, by making your name more looking more "complex", it might make other go "Wow, what the hell does THAT mean?" eventhough he might be named ... Rico Suave, or just hiding the fact that they couldn't come up with something original, and then took something "Iowneveryone" and make it L33T, so others will look at it and.. yeah, you name it :grrr:

I'll keep non-leet with my names :)

[Rokaan]

my name will be Rokaan Nightswifter a Night Elf Demon Hunter/Blademaster who was raised by orcs from a baby and became a blademaster

another of my characters will be Dakken, my first name ever, he is a human rogue gone very very good, he steals from the good pays them back in full with alot of interest, and if always doing quests for the royal crown

[Malibu, CA]

my character is gonna be michael jackson

[piraten]

For my first char i might be "piraten" wich is swe for "the pirate" :P

or atleast that will be my account name, dunno about char... hm.. Might check the NWN name generator for names ^^

[SpanGi]

my name will be Rokaan Nightswifter a Night Elf Demon Hunter/Blademaster who was raised by orcs from a baby and became a blademaster
When in the Warcraft timeline was that going to happen? :S A bit impossible if we look at it from .. well, facts. But hell, the idea is cool enough :) Demon Samurai Hunter :yep:

[Katnip]

I often use interesting names from fantasy books or movies and then combine several of them with an aphostrophe

Example: Chany + Dareil = Cha'eyl
(I won't use that name, as it's pretty bad, but you get my drift)

[Ceredwynn]

A game this good deserves a D&D type of name like Meccro or Tycrona.

[BandKandi]

as for what l33t means its a hacker term meaning elite,
I think I'll make an rp name.

~kandi

[Booms]

I think I like the name Tehleet Roxorpwnz the best.

[SpanGi]

I think I like the name Tehleet Roxorpwnz the best.
Hehe, with a few letter-changes it might be almost impossible to see what it says :D Cool way of blending though

[Adamwsat]

I'm probably going to go with my normal MMO name, Gumberculese. If not that then something from TV or similar. If I werent to be Gumberculese I'd probably be Bladdo or Nopplewit. :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink:

[Syndakit]

I most definitely agree w/ spaker_man. Those types of names degrade the integrity of the gaming experience. In my experience, most mmorgs dont have these types of names b/c they are usually played by a more mature population of gamers (perhaps b/c of the patients required in playing them or the monthly fee charges). You are more likely to see a name like "xXxSpiffymanxXx" in a game of D2 rather than in a game of Everquest or UO. In any case, I hope to see these types of names disallowed in WoW and have characters with real names as opposed to nouns or adjectives or stupid catch phrases.


If you let what other ppl name their characters bother you, you have some issues to work out. Its just a damn game, let it go man...let it go.

I could care less what people want to name their characters, not that Id choose somethin crazy myself, maybe Ill name myself after an 80's band.

For those of you who put down the actual names you're wanting to use, you'll be glad to know that I'll be stealing them all. Thanks for the great ideas :thanks:

That being said, my friend is going to be "TheOne" and I shall be, of course, "TheTwo".

Oh and I'm guilty of having some uh...1337...D2 names. Really annoying when you spend 20 minutes typing in all the cool names you can think of and every last one is taken. So RoxorBoxorBarb it becomes T_T

I am going to use greek names like Dardanus for my human warlock.
