Why yes I was raised Catholic….how did you guess?

Wellard...d'oh of course... my work nickname

Well'ard ... for a bit of flair when playing a blade or such

Kongor... my old D&D name named after a holy tibetan mountin. Just the job for when I play a cleric.


I always reccomend place names or real names, say from an Atlas or such, It gives that extra touch of realism IMO

Adkin for my F/T.

Saturos
Arleth
Atryven
Aldyne
Sir Exxon
Xoran
Turgon
Turin

[img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

My favorite character names:

Jarxaxle
Artemis
Marcus
Morrik
Angel

Sir Goulum
Beebs(For my Barbarian [img]tongue.gif[/img] )
Ryno
Sir Ryno....

Ethanlien [img]smile.gif[/img]

I use this a lot...

or Cassius, Crassius,

I use:
Kaeso-for a wizard
Appius-cleric
Adrianna-Kensai

My first two are actually common Roman names.

Brenwar
Brenwar the Green
Liddia

Kell Swiftsword - Paladin
Elbryan Stoutbow - 1/2 Elven Ranger
Kronin Slipknot - 1/2ling Swashbuckler
Grog Haftsplitter - 1/2 orc barbarian
Sabian Steeleblade - Human Kensai

Thorvald Bloodaxe - dwarven fighter
Kaylessa - elven ranger (tip of the hat to a substory in IWD)
Feodor Catsfeet - halfling thief
Fiona Catsfeet - his daughter
Bannock - male paladin
Darius - male mage
Syngyn - male fighter
Branwyn - female cleric (liked the name from BG1)

Someone, a long time ago, cracked me up when they posted that they named their main character Baahl, Jr. I hurt myself laughing when putting that name into some of the game's conversation threads... That, to me, is sillier than doing something like 'Horatio Throttlebottom.'

OK... I need a little lie down now.

Alexander
Judah
Robin Hood
Uruk'hai (half orc obviously)
Merlin

are all among ones I've used in the past. I'm consdering trying to do a harry potter party (don't laugh) of mages...Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Harry, Ron, and Hermoine perhaps.

I'm also considering making a solo paranoid character...sorceror maybe, haven't really decided, named Dzhugashvili, assuming that'll fit (Dzhugashvili, btw, was Stalin's real name...somehow that strikes me as appropriate)

My names tend to be nonsensical and hard to pronounce.

Pirengle
Elemspere
Jentner
Janitzer
Stompederel
Vagnar
Melia
Shirke
Damiar
Choth
Sarn
Timerlarian
Shaanal
Rochelie

Most of my characters are historical/legendary folks re-created for BG2.
Malthaussen was one of my longest-running pnp characters, so I sometimes use him in CRPG games. His charisma of 6, however, makes him a liability as a leader. (His name was derived from Thomas Malthus, author of the extremely depressing book "A Treatise on Population")

For hobbits... err, "halflings," I usually go with either Mojo or Frito. Yes, I am a lover of "Bored of the Rings." A friend of mine in the old 1st edition days had a high-level wizard named Goodgulf.

For dwarves, I usually go with Dworkin or Ferkin. I played D&D for a couple of years with a gentleman hight Ferkin Doyle, and thought his name was perfect for a dwarf. Dworkin seems to have an appropriately "Tolkienesque" flavor.

Elves get Tolkienesque names, also. Dandhros ("Danny") is the leader of a party I'm playing now. Miriel and Muriel and two elven ladies who have been in many a party of mine.

-- Mal

I genreally use Nina (Er... borrowed from Breath of Fire) for females and Ryu(Same) for males. I also use "Grend" for fighters(and adaption of Grendel, borrowed from either Beowolf or Creatures Trilogy, take your pick) and Mia (Borrowed from from Golden Sun... Hey, I name a lot of my charactors after game charactors!). I don't ever really have the time to think of original ones.

Yes! Someone else has read "Bored of the Rings!" (I sit on the floor and pick my nose/and think of dirty things.")

I've never been fond of Tolkien's names for elves or dwarves. I go with a normal-ish first name and an object last name (Suren Silverstrike) or something hippy (and Rainbow tops the list).

Sir Lancelot-Paladin
Mithrandir-Sorcerer
Xen-Kensai
Deadly Shadow-Assasain
.
.
.

Here's a few:

Malinde (current): Female half elven F/M
Jatelka (first runthrough SOA/TOB): Female Monk
Tethys (most memorable BG1 runthrough): Female ranger

my favorites are:
Esta Starchild-female elven fighter (my oldest rpg character, originally a paldin and I think I got the name from some REALLY old rgp book)
Lien-female human Kensai (read somewhere that it's chinese for lotus, not sure if thats true)
Artor Drowgean-male human paladin (yes, bad last name)
Kayl Drowgean-female human paladin (his twin sister)
Serrantha M'Dor-female human druid
Thaneous Redwing-male human mage
Swiftus Lazarus-male elven thief (luv that name, just find it funny for some reason)
Mordan Bloodaxe-male dwarven fighter
Raeonna Thannelyssi-female elven cleric

here:

Tom
Tom-slayer
Master-Tom
Cloud ( FF7 )
Rane
Zell ( FF8 )
Zidane ( FF9 )
Vivi ( FF9 )

E.G Greetings , I am gay.Do u wish me in ur presence again?

Of course the name I AM GAY lol.(this can be funny)

"This Ring and no other was made by the Elves/Who'd sell their own mother to have it themselves..." [img]smile.gif[/img]

I use Tolkeinesque names for elves and dwarves because my pnp campaign is based (very) loosly on JRR's history. Anyway, Pirengle, you said you liked unpronouncable names. [img]smile.gif[/img]

-- Mal

I kinda like the name

Aerk for a fighter...the name originates from the movie Willow
(MadMartigans friend)

Zantras for a sorcererer...have a portrait from WC3 I think...it rocks
(She is elven of course!!)

Sir Gareth is a Cavalier...usin a modified portrait from BG2

Juraz...Cleric

Chariss...elven thief (portrait from NWN)

...and the last slot is either open or used by one of Salvatores people...i.e.
Drizzt, Bruenor, Wulfgar, Regis or Catti-Brie...I don´t use Regis since he is bad luck...usually I get kille by a mistake or sumthin weird!
