Foad the Elementalist?

LotharOvsothian · Nov 10, 2005, 02:03 AM // 02:03

=/ just come up with your own, bro. take a cool word you like, mix up the letters, replace some here and there until you get one that you like.

Compound names always work when finding names. My Elementalist is Tegan EarthBender. Something with relevance to his class, you never can go wrong IMHO. Plus..Earthbender...just sounds cool.

Well theres my 2 cents

Just barely fits and you're like a walking hate crime.

If you play PvP, I would suggest avoiding a name that tells your enemy just what skills (based on your primary attribute) you will be using against him or her. So I wouldn't name my elementalist something that suggested any particular element (Air, Earth, Fire, or Water). Besides, you may start off as a fire elementalist, then switch to air or some other element later, and wouldn't want to be stuck with a 'flaming' name. Plus, even though this is just a video game, it just seems rather 'unrealistic' for a person to have such a name.

My personal preference is to treat all of my characters as members of the same family. Pick a last name that you like, then for each of your four characters choose an appropriate first name to go along with it. I often grab a dictionary for another language, such as Latin, and skim through it looking for foreign sounding words that have interesting meanings.

As a silly example, here's a good non-element-specific name for a male elementalist:
Orbis Lacteus (It means 'Milky Way' in Latin, as in the galaxy.)
Then maybe later if you decide to make another character, say a female necromancer:
Cocoa Lacteus (Roughly translates as 'Chocolate Milk')

Hope that helps!

I'm very unoriginal...I choose names of historical and literary characters I admire and (sometimes) adapt them.

bobmcclune · Nov 10, 2005, 04:00 PM // 16:00

Ima Idiot

you could use that to your advantage.... Use fire skills and name yourself WaterWoky or AirEle..... Suprise

Argentus · Nov 10, 2005, 04:34 PM // 16:34

My elementalist likes to try them all. So if I chose a name that suggested a particular element, 1/4 of the time it would probably be correct.

Chillin-N-Killin · Nov 10, 2005, 07:46 PM // 19:46
