Do this if you aren't attached to having Xiner.

Yes that is a nice Idea.

However, if you want Xiner in it. I suggest using Sensei or Shodan Xiner.

My sin is named Sensei Aeon, and I call dibs on that name for GW2 if I ever buy / play it. The presumption being that it is released someday.......

For character names, I tend to go with something that is appropriate to said character's origin. Prophecies characters have European names, Factions characters have Chinese/Japanese/Korean names, Nightfall characters have African or Middle-Eastern names.

behindthename.com has a fun random generator that I use a lot when thinking of names

expugnare · Aug 04, 2009, 10:09 PM // 22:09

It might be random, but sometimes with my characters I go with Latin phrases.

Examples:

my monk Expugnare Deorum (purged by the gods)

one of my warriors Deum Manum Invictus (the invincible hand of god)

one of my eles Dies Exitium (day of ruin, a homonym for Deus Exitium, which is God of Ruin)

Another cool naming trend I use is _______ of the five.

My dervish is Servant of the Five.
One of my rits is Augur of the Five.
A Mesmer is Siren or Muse of the Five.

Try one out for a sin.... Zealot of the Five (in reference to the original Assassins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashshashin)

In the end just try to make something unique.

Didn't you also ask about Monk names as well?

glacialphoenix · Aug 05, 2009, 12:14 AM // 00:14

I tend to try to dip into mythology, or play around with words that kind of exemplify what I think the character is or should be like. (Example: my ele is named Glacialis Incendia. I know it's probably mangling something, but it was elemental enough for me!)

Alternatively, play word association games. Take every adjective you kind of want to use but feel isn't strong enough and write down words you can think of to associate with it.

I suggest either Dusk Xiner or Eclipse Xiner.

Drat. I've been playing White Wolf's tabletop RPGs too long if the first thing I think when I look at that is Exalted.

drunk n angry · Aug 05, 2009, 12:19 AM // 00:19

however tasteless some of you may think it is go for a real assassins name. john wilkes booth, or go for a ironic twist as to who they assassinated like martin luther king, make it accurate to history

. my vote

ambergris · Aug 05, 2009, 12:20 AM // 00:20

How about D Xiner Blades.

Zai Rhaal · Aug 05, 2009, 12:52 AM // 00:52

Yes, i think it is tasteless.

Shadowstep to Xiner (Dinner, lol!)

Or play with Ritualist holding spells. my PvP always used to be Delicious Was Pie.

Vicious Was Xiner
So on and so forth.

I'd suggest my favourite name, Killah Gorillah, but my tiny female ranger has taken it ^^
And i believe someone has taken the name without the Hs.
