I like Edmonde Dantes myself. OR Erik Earthcleaver. or Quincy Quickfingers. or Barton Butterworth. or Seth Spellweaver. Also look at some of the names of people in any of teh threads in teh RP forum. there should be some good names there for you.

drewal 06-18-2002 07:45 PM

Played a CN Swashbuckler with my real name.
Played a CE Priest of Talos named Iberius Ixtasatol
Currently playing a mage from BG1 through to BGII with an all mage party - the mage's name is Lysander of Gordium.

Sazerac 06-18-2002 07:51 PM

I tend to go with the simplistic...my Beserker (dualled Thief) was named Dalen (I finished ToB with him). Currently I have a Paladin (Cavalier) named Valoran and a CN Wild Mage named Whacko (and he IS one!!)

-Sazerac

masteraleph 06-18-2002 09:22 PM

well, I just finished off a ranger --> cleric dual named Templar
I had a Paladin named Alexander (as in Alexander the Great)
I had an Elven Sorceress named Sylvanestra (which would basically mean woman of the woods)

Still trying to decide what to play next...getting a bit bored so i think i'm gonna take a break and wait for the TDD/TOB patch before i come up with a new fellow (I'm thinking Lord here- it's a TDD paladin class, you get some -s to stats cause he's older, but you can also get 5 *s in 2 handed swords and i think something else...)

I dont think Ive ever played properly without being an elf... no, tried a half elf once in Bg1, but didnt like it as much as a 'pure' elf...

Thelonious Sphere 06-19-2002 08:06 AM

I had a Monk called Thelonious Sphere, a Kensai called ianseK and I'm thinking about playing a Bard called Ian Anderson.

daan 06-19-2002 08:40 AM

Try a latin dictionary ...
f.e. There's a certain dragon in ToB, called "Draconis" , in latin .. -Draconi Genuu- means "Descendent of a dragon" ... Draconis was probably derived from that.

Caelus means sky or heaven... you can make some nice names with that, twisting it around and adding some.. Aes'Culus , cealus etc.

Just type in a word in some English-latin online dictionary and see where you end up [img]smile.gif[/img]

Vlad Tepes 06-19-2002 10:08 AM

Shadowpup 06-19-2002 02:38 PM

I cannot tell you how glad I am to see that people don't use lame character names like in Diablo II. Talk about a barn load of crap...

The Ozzman 06-20-2002 05:44 AM

I have 2, my main character was a ranger named Nathaniel, and i also have a Paladin named Uncas.

Jaegan 06-20-2002 05:59 AM

I like, Barox, Asmodeus, Balthasar.... until he came out in Tob, I like Mecrutio, and what was the bad guys name in Julius Caesar? was it Cassius? Of course my personal favorite would be Jaegan and Omega.

Thaziax 06-20-2002 09:46 AM

Thaziax (look familiar)
Razier
Armien
Ulrik

Avalon 06-20-2002 03:44 PM

Use Avalon if playing as a paladin, or Gilthanas (out of the dragonlance books) if playing as a ranger.

Ummm, dont play as anything else, not my style!

The One 06-20-2002 04:42 PM

Why dont you look in the dictionary, there you can get name that give your charactor a name to bild on a name that means some thing E,G Zendic, means black magic.

Zidane 06-20-2002 06:43 PM

Uhhmm

Zidane if I am playing a Male character, I am usually an Elven Ranger

Lady Zidane if I am playing a Female character, again an elf, sometimes a fighter/thief, usually a ranger/archer.

If I am playing a thief his name is Filch Pickapockit
If I am playing a mage her name is Xavia Spelcasta
If I am playing a fighter her name is Shakira Sordblaid
If I am playing a druid his name is Dreyfus Forestminda
If I am playing a paladin his name is Pedrix Palandrin

All these are my Icewind Dale characters, but I always have the same names in other games for whatever class I choose.

By the way, just started to read The Drizzt trilogy

Lady Zidane

Sorcerer Alex 06-20-2002 08:47 PM

I generally use Alexander (my real name) or Aurican, or Narlen.

Chaos Engine 06-21-2002 12:34 AM

One of my favourite things to do with names is to name your charcter as a sort of Medievil or dramticised version of your own names. IE:

Aaron= Arrynos
Robert= Reboute
Ricky= Rickane
Lucas= Lorkas

just as an example.
