In reply to Gunner:
Most dwarves think nothing of making use of their headin battle but I think you are refering to Thibbledorf Pwent, the battlerager. Other dwarf names you might not know are; of course Bruenor Battlehammer, Gandalug patron of the Battlehammer Clan and General Dagna. The latter from Citadel Adbar, his clan name is not given. |

MANTIS i think would be a good name for a monk, becuase the praying mantis style of kung fu is the most furious and aggressive. so its quite fitting.
other names i like to use are: Qualen (it means to torment... apparently) Talion (sounds elven to me) Sagaath Azeroth (ever played warcraft? u should) |

I just found this very interesting thread and I wonder if anyone knows..... I have played a Paladin named Magnus since the mid '70s. I have since found NPCs referred to in the Might and Magic series and Daggerfall named Magnus. I made the name up as a combination of Magnificent and Glorious and liked the tough sound.
My question: Is it a real name? Where does it come from? |

Littlemage,
Thanks. I was wondering if one of my old friends had started writing games! Now that I know it's a real name, one more question; What is Mastermind? |

Littlemage,
Excellent. We have a show in the U.S. that follows that very same subject line. No...wait a minute...I think it's cat-juggling to electro-shock therapy. |

Hi everyone!! I get a Dancing Dragons catalog and there is where I got the names for my characters. My male thief is named Vladdigor and my female thief/mage is named Shannara. I really love dragons and so I decided to use these names. So it is going to be hard for me to fight dragons in BG2 but if I have to, I have to.

Here are some name suggestions from Arabia:
Female: Bilqis - the actual name of the Queen of Sheba Alia Samira Ibtisam Male: Ahmed Mustafa Mujahid (it means 'holy warrior') Rashad Khalid (I know, it was the name of Jaheira's husband... but he's dead now ;o) There are many many more of course, but this is a start. I'm glad this thread was started because it can be an issue when I'm creating a new character. Thanks! |

Melusine, if u read this, this was a really good thread to start! You can try to mix and match names from Greek mythology and elvenize them with an elvish sounding surname. EG Ares Stormglade, Apollo Cloudhair, Athena Starwoman...(wait, NO!! I didn't mean to type that!!!!) AAAAHHHH!!!!
(All the Aussies reading this will know and berate me for my error........) |
