Default /rant GIVE YOUR CHARACTERS DECENT NAMES!

Nothing gets me more in this game than people who dont use original/good names. Im tired of running around and seeing horribly spelled "Sefirot teh daeth" or the fifteen hundred assassins with names that revolve around anime.

Its my opinion that this is a person going through a quest in life. (I know its a game) But if you were going on a life changing quest your name wouldnt be "Daeth fleame."

I undertand that everyone may not have the best grammar ( I have deplorable grammar) but cmon please think of another name before cutting off characters to make it fit. Just because "Conan the destroyer" is taken please dont use "cnan teh destroya"

So you are saying we should give our characters names that we would hear everyday? Like have on named Billy Bob? Sorry but that would get old real fast. If everyone had names that were spelled correctly and grammatically correct i think everyone would get tired of them. Ya some of the names are stupid and annoying but they add a bit of flavor to the game.

I want the name Conan the Destroyer, but it's taken, so I can't have anything similar to it?

conan the destroyer is kinda bad to begin with.

now, my pve names are all very clever. All related to French music. Way better than having my name as legggallosss of aragorrrn or something.

People should be able to have whatever name they want (as long as it's not offensive or against the rules)

BUT I could never understand why you would want a name like "Daeth Slayerr" just because "Death Slayer" was taken. Why would you want to be a clone of that character...or even worse, a misspelled clone.

As for someone saying that it would get boring seeing "ordinary" names like Jim Bob or something...Uhhh original names don't mean boring. In fact, they can be really creative. It's when there are 50 different versions of "Aragorn" or "Legalos" that it gets boring.

I've been given grief about one of my names. Bet you can guess which one. And I DON'T CARE!

What may be a bad name to you may have perfectly good & personal reasons behind choosing it. It's only a trival inconvenience when I have to spell it out correctly! (I never deal with people with names like "Qzzerteqy Omhetrigz" )

well, the desript of a "good name" can fall into any catagory, like anime,war,medievle anything It was plesing to the owner and what they want there char name to be go for it but, I do agree seeing the same name over and over and over spelld even more anyiong every time, if its taken think of something new, and orginal donst have to be Bob matt sue peggy, it can be

Amlia the *what ever*
or
Berlene of *what ever*
or
fisrt and last name
or
what ever the hell u want I just please BEG you dont take somthing els and twist it around thats just kinda bad, i got a great idea for those that cant think of orginal names

use a thesorus type in a word and it gives you other words of the same meaning, and the words of the oppiste meaning

witch is good for amlia the *what ever* types of names

or like my rangers called neverwinter archer
simple classy i liked it no one had it i took it...

:P

My names are origional ftw.

I usualy go with the same last name for them "Haras". Some are named after freinds of mine, so real names with the last name "Haras".

So your trying to say that names that have improper spelling are wrong? Whats wrong with them? If the person wants to spell it wrong, theres no law against it.

Do I pass? All names I thought of while reading a book. And listening to music. And because my first char was named Goat, and I made a Ranger. Shuttup.
