When naming your main character do you have a name that you always use?
Or do you have different names for different classes?

Myself if my character is a thief or bard they are named Shadow,
Warriors and all mainly combat orientated classes - Gromon,
Archer - Legolas.

I always try to come up with new names that sounds suitable for the race and class. An example would be (my IWDII party)

Deep Gnome / fighter: Haldur Crimsbottom
Human / Barbarian: Dalf Longbane
Asimar / priestess: Lie'l Dormbringer
Thiefling / Thief: Fikk'e Fundelbinder
Human / Sorcerer: Ka'eena Dullblossom
Human(german) / Wizard: Ardan Krielweizer

And sometimes I go for the more obvious:

Fighter: Aewill Smak'urskullin
Thief: Pikjuer Pokets

I now it's stupid. But it's kinda fun. At least for the few seconds it takes to come up with them [img]smile.gif[/img]

Dwarven Fighter/Barbarian: Stumpy Hilltrotter
Mage : Saureth
Ranger: Calerian Pathfinder
other than that i dont have set names!!

<font color="lightblue">I`ve been know to use:
Malinan
Iffnosi
Quitzin (current game)
Quenya
Killiop
And alot, lot, lot, lot, lot more. :D </font>

Currenty I'm playing a half-elf female mage/cleric called Panthera. And I've also played a half-elf male fighter thief called Psylan. (Yeah, I like half-elves.) I have a thing for interesting names, so I'm gonna try to come up with a new one every time I play.

I like it [img]smile.gif[/img]

You have the same problem as I do, I always choose half-elves :D

<- :D

I generally play different characters, most culled from past roleplays.

A few notables:

Salis -- your standard sorceror

Timothy -- failed attempt at a swashbuckler, got his ass handed to him by the ascension mod's final fight.

Nex -- Kensai, currently playing.

Anubis <--- Druid...
Playing him in NWN and BG2

Naming your character is one of the coolest parts of the game. You want a name you are proud of. You don't want to go halfway through and say "This name really sucks." Most of the time I use names from my favorite fiction and sometimes from history.

Right now I have -
Human Inquisiter - Thrasson - from a Planescape novel
Human dual classed Beserker/Cleric - Barahir - The Silmarillion, Tolkien
Human Necromancer - Sauron - Tolkien
Elf Sorcerer - Artus of the Planes - Blood Wars Trilogy - Planescape novel
Elf Archer - Beleg Strongbow - Silmarillion
Elf Swashbuckler - Jandau - Blood Wars Trilogy

Others - Durin the Deathless, dwarf - Galgamesh - Dain Ironfoot, dwarf - Ecthelion, usually Paladin - Elric - Alatar the Blue, mage - Celebrimbor - Corum Jhaelen - Turin Turambar - Idril Celebrindal, female - Celebrian, female - Calimehtar - and many more.
