This will only make sense if you're familiar with The Frogs (music group), but I named one of my mages that I indeded to kit into a wild mage Starsurge, and a bard I was going to kit into a blade, Starblade. Otherwise I use character names from Red Dwarf (English comedy). Or I'll use anime characters: Jubei (Ninja Scroll), Jiro (dagger of Kamui), Takashi (Akira), Tetsou (Akira). The thing is that I'm a chronic restarter so I never actually beat the game with any of these, so I picked up a new strategy and just began playing with a Wild Mage named Michael (after myself, of course).

as for that name generator, how does that work? I tried it, and it looks like I could have gotten the same names if I just rolled them out on a scattergories dice.

I most often use names of gods/goddesses for my characters. Recent ones include:
Epona Morrigan Brigit Minerva Dionysos Athene Apollo etc. etc. (yes, I too am a chronic restarter) ------------------ Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Now let's assume that both lists consist of only three name parts with list one: Gan, Lego, Elro list two: dalf, las, hir Each time you ask the generator to make a name you'll get a random combination. In this case, that could be Gandalf, Ganlas, Ganhir, Legodalf, Legolas, Legohir, Elrodalf, Elrolas or Elrohir. As you can see from the example, most names are very unrealistic and therefor quite useless. Some names are acceptible, while only a few, excluding the original names, are really good combinations. Naturally, the larger the lists, the more possibilities and the more good name combinations (this has quite a lot to do with the position of the vowels in the different parts). BTW, I usually steal my names from Tolkien (like Elrohir, Eowyn and see left/below) ------------------ The last arrow of Legolas kindled in the air as it flew, and plunged burning into the heart of a great wolf-chieftain.

I'm a fighter/cleric in my current game and I've used the name Eric Vanstraaten. He's a warrior that actually joins you later on in BG II. He's awesome and he's up there with Drizzt and Elminster, IMHO

I guess that the names I like best for my characters and which get used the most would be:
Daeomer Fallon: Paladin (usually) Brenner Ronin: Ranger Cynder or Fyre: Female Mages I guess that the lamest name would be Willowflame (Elven Mage) |
