Naming a new character - Guild Wars Forums

Holly Herro · Nov 22, 2007, 08:04 AM // 08:04

Ok all, I need help once again naming a new character. This time it's a Tyrian male Ele, and I don't want any names that are one specific kind of magic 'school' if you know what I mean.

I don't want something which implies I'm a fire mage, since I might change and stuff.

So nothing like Flaming Foster or Icy Ian or something.

Thanks in advance =]

Suggestion 1.) Flaming Foster
Suggestion 2.) Icy Ian
xD

Usually you want to think of names by yourself. For example I made a sin named Sinfully Delicious (suggestion from friend) but ended up hating the name 3 days later. Named my current one B E R T I E and still like the name

Mike the Magical?
Carn the caster?

They sound like magician names :\

I like to borrow names from other sources and adapt them for my purposes.

Aule Illuvatar - Elementalist: Both borrowed from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarrilion. Aule is the high-angel of the elements and Illuvatar is the God-figure.

Jin Hwoarang - Assassin: I needed a name that fit a quintessentially oriental character (think ninja), so I turned to Tekken.

Shaar Shekhinah - Monk: Hebrew for "Gate of Divine Presence."

Dove Magor Missabib - Dervish: Dove, my preferred internet call-sign, and Magor Missabib, stated in Jeremiah of the Old Testament of the Bible, which means "fear/terror all around you." Very apt for a Dervish.

================================================== =======

My suggestion for you: turn to other sources. Other games that you play, literature that you've read, even silly online translators into Elvish =P. That makes you more proud of your names too... and more personal if ya ask me.

I was thinking something like Vyrn The Vile, but it sounds more like anecro.

Or something like Idian The Insane, but it sounds like WoW..
