That's a joke, right? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I meant of course names of dieties and heroes of old religions.
Like Unferth, Hrungnir, Hildr from Nordic/Germanic myth, etc.
Artemis (Entreri, from FR novels) for example comes from ancient Greek lore. If you take the names of small figures from old legends and stuff, you can get some real cool names.

Try making up names which can be pronounced easily, and remembered easily. For example, if you have a name which cannot be pronouced properly, then the character is less believeable.

If you have different races, cultures or countries, try and have a particular type of name for one. For example one culture always has a K' or a J' in front of the name.

Hope that helped.

Thanks, but I think you're giving me a bit too much credit here.

Arkhanis
Teclis*
Tyrion*
Malus (darkblade)*
Thorgrim
Morathi*
Ahriman*
Abbadon*
Imrick
Nagash*
Felix
Gotrek
Zylo

Edit-Malkaviel is right, I checked if the names were copyrighted and sure enough some of them were, a name with an * beside it is copyrighted, sorry Barb.

Actually, sorry to disappoint, Sigmar, but I'm pretty sure all or almost all of them are copyrighted, I know fora fact some of them are, and they make a habit of copyrighting everything they invent.
Also, for names, a couple you Nordic guys and gals might know:
Freki (pronounced Freh- kee)
Geri (pronounced Geh- ree)
I remember my older brother calling two hamsters that years ago.
