I need this for 2 reasons

1) I am curious

2) I need some names for my gnome bezerker or Kensai. I am serious and no I have not been drinking heck I am too young to. If you want to know more about the topic click http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/cg...c;f=2;t=019931

Now the names

Lebegril Dana
Mortis Spellbind
Tommi Cross
Christov Winspear
Lavok Quik
Mazey Fentaa
Lorgan Bloodaxe
Roxana

If you have trouble coming up with original names, and are tired of stealing names from book characters, like I am, try the Fantasy Name Generator

Thank you to SixofSpades for the link in here :D

My (current) character's name is Flynn Fairbanks - in case you couldn't guess he's a swashbuckler :D

When I used to play gnomes with PnP 1st edition AD&D I used to like to use names like Mordecai, Aloisius, and Xavier - to me a good Gnome berserker name would be something like Mordecai the Mindless.

Yeah Olorin that name generator is pretty nice, I use it myself sometimes.

Other times I use charcter names from books-Tahkisis, Gaeleron, Tanthul, Artemis, Jarlaxle, etc.

Thanks for the nod, Olorin.... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Baldur's Gate II Team I was using last year.

1)Team leader HalfElf-----------Name = Oaks Vill'enox Archer,Thief,Fighter/Male

2)Gnome Berserker-------------Name = Rah'cell Ustokal/Male

3)Dwarf Fighter/Mage----------Name = Drakes Kruncheals/Male

this was a really fun team to play, with Rah'cell & Goreart being a couple of little Tanks and caterlace turned out to be very powerful after level 14 with Goreart pretty much shutting down Irenicus at the end.

I'm currently playing a half-orc sellsword named...Uruk'hai. Hmmm, I wonder why...

I tend to name for historical and mythological figures. Paladins have been Alexander (as in the Great) or Judah (as in Maccabbee), rangers have been Aragorn and Robin Hood, sorcerers (I don't like wizards) have been Gandalf, Merlin, Arta Mydrin (for those who read that series...i wanna say Rosenberg wrote them but could be wrong)...I had a chaotic bard way back when, can't remember if the name was Robin Goodfellow or Puck, but greatly fun character

geez my prot mage is simply called
Bane
also had one called Whisper.

Rollin.......

One of my multiplayer characters was named Crooky Furrytails. Oh, and did I mention that he was a squirrel? ;)

In any fantasy game, a noble Paladin-type character is always 'Sir Luther Delga'arde', give or take the 'sir' depending on whether knighting is a common thing.

My current characters - BG2
Human Samurai (TDD) - Kimutsu Owigashi
Halfling Fighter/Assassin (hacked) - Dace Brigolo ;)
Half-Orc Pit Fighter (TDD) - Kimutsu Owigashi

For IWD2
Paladin - Sir Yorrik of Helm

my female paladin(cavalier) was Femme Fatale
F/T/M is Howard Duck (it's just awesome seeing vicci get all emotional to her sweet howard the duck (ROFL)

My two best characters were named:

Guyan Sethe - Ranger/Cleric

Balthazaar Gelt - Sorcerer

Currently using a solo sorc. of the Order of the Istari (

I started a thread about the Forum Nicks (Annatar ect.) and the meaning of them... does your PC name has history of his own or did you guys just made them up (I don't think so isn't it :D [img]graemlins/laughsaywhat.gif[/img] ?). Something from a AD&D books or books like tolkien ect.? just wanna know because the nicks on this forum all seem really meaningfull (it has a ''history'').. just wonderd because in my other thread people come with al sorts of explenations about there nicks :D

My fighter has the name "Valdore"...where I managed to come up with that, I'll never know, but I like it.

I make up all my role playing names myself. i just think of the class, and race, and portrait, and just figure out a cool sounding name that fits it. Hell, i even thought of Arundel before i had even seen IWD ;) (of course, my Arundel was a warrior, not a archdruid)

Edit: My friend uses the name Fippy Darkpaws (LOL) as a halfling thief, he got it from another character in dark age of camelot

[ 02-08-2003, 10:43 AM: Message edited by: Xero279 ]

My character's are:
Paladins: Sir Sparhawk and Lady Ehlana
Mages: Myrddin L'argenton, Polgara Stormcast
Bards: Storm Windblade and Taliesin Spellmusic.

Intelligification of three, right? :D

Jatelka: Female monk, just thought it sounded vaguely oriental and fit with the
paper doll.

Tethys: Female ranger, after the primordial ocean.

Malinde: Female fighter mage, vaguely tolkienesque (although none of those
little dotty things over the "e" sadly)!

My characters have been called
Meerkin Sirk (Warrior)
Natalie Quickspell (A mage who uses a lot of haste spells, and sequencers to make spell casting quicker)
Nathaniel Firefingers (A bard who used a lot of Burning Hands Spells)
Pellor of the Light (Neutral Good drow sorceror)
Eldori of the Dark (Neutral Evil drow sorceror, he and Pelor agrued a lot)
Elistrae Loremaster ( Lorekeeper of Oghma on IWD2. I'm quite proud of that one)
Natalie Strongbough (Ranger)
Matthias Fleetstride (Monk)
Archibald Flapjack (Don't ask)
Chris Stringpluck (Bard)

To make up your own I'd suggest one of two methods;
1. Think about the character. Any aspects that jump out at you about how you intend to play him/her. If there is any spell that they tend to use over another consistently try bring that in, eg Sessifelts the Wilter (Abi Dalzim's Horrid Wilting). Or a weapon; if a character starts out hghly proficient in bows, try Fletcher
as a surname. Fletcher is a name that tends to belong to families that have been involved with the construction of arrows for many generations.

2. Take an existing name or word and change the letters around, or extend it in some way. eg Alex becomes Alexander, becomes xelander. Seven becomes Sevan, Sever or Vesen.

Intelligification of three, right? :D </font>[/QUOTE]i doubt he could reach a intelligence of three with a 6-pack of Intellect Potions [img]smile.gif[/img]

I've had a few characters, but usually I don't give them last names, dunno why, just don't.

Astaroth- Dragonslayer
Elric- Blademaster (Yea, Elric from the fantasy novels)
Gangrel- Wizard Slayer
Reno- Monk

What class would he be....wizard? Monk? Fighter? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Oh, I'm gonna stop there, images of a monk Dubya may cause me to die by laughing :D

I recommend Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable as a wonderful source of tales and names... for out of there I plucked:

Tancred - the naive Cavalier hero. Name taken from the histories of the First Crusade, in which Tancred was the greatest of the Templar heroes. Played as a pure, noble, amiable hero throughout the saga who never really understood the importance of what he was.
Malvolio - a swish evil Assassin. Name taken from a character in Shakespeare, but as it translates as 'He who wants bad things to happen' he was always going to be Evil. Played as a man who liked doing evil because he thought it made him look good, and who embraced every power that came his way. A charming devil.
Diocletian - the bitter aethiest Wizard. Name taken from the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who so persecuted the Christians it was claimed he was the anti-christ. Played as a man who hated his heritage and fought to defeat his Father out of bitterness. A hard man to like.

Hey, that's mine!

Yep, I generally go with Judas. Can't really think of anything else. There was the time when I had a six-person Lord of the Rings party with:

Frodo
Gandalf
Legolas
Gimli
Aragorn
Merry

Quite fun.

I have a few favorite names that I have used

MABAX (Every dwarf,ever,sometimes with a last name-trollkiller,hammrhed,etc)
Larkson Fastoker(bard blade,wicked)
Tormson Fell(Paladin ,cavalier, also really wicked)
Felonious Munk(monk ,of course)

just a couple of names for gnomes, maybe Fingernubs Sharpsword, Bigfingers Picklenose.

awww come on !
,,,, Whisper is a cool name.

I'm currently playing with my wholy my own party and the names are:

Odeon Trammer - Human Fighter
Drasil Sureshot - Elven Archer
Aleina Folthen - Elven Swashbuckler
Margaret Hammerhand - Dwarven Priest of Helm
Elthas Athling - Half-elven Minstrel (TDD Bard-kit)
Tiris Trammer - Human Wildmage
