Started out with my internet handle, and then either chose something creatively or borrowed parts of names from good books I've read.

It can take me hours sometimes to come up with a good name.

Theo Godscythe · Jan 06, 2008, 08:15 PM // 20:15

I go online looking for names that relate to his/her profession:
Theo [my Dervish] means “god’s gift” or something like that.
Kael [my Warrior] means “great warrior”.

Other times I just give them a random name:
Rin [my Monk]
Chris [my Necromancer]
Kylen [my Elementalist]

For their “last names” it’s always related to their professions.

Theo [Godscythe]
Kael [Darkblade]
Rin [Medicalart]
Chris [Soulburn]

and so on...

For PvP I usually name them something random...

I always like the character Scorpion on Mortal Kombat so I just dropped the N and have added prefixs or words after the name.

I Phoenix I · Jan 06, 2008, 08:37 PM // 20:37

It used to be whatever sounded good, but then I moved on to skill names.

**cosyfiep** · Jan 06, 2008, 08:38 PM // 20:38

its been a few months since the last thread of this type, so here goes again.

All of my characters have japanese names, some are not real names they would use (like I dont like they would name there kid winter wind, but you never know), a few of my characters are named after people I knew while I worked in japan and a few are named in a fashion after some anime (not naruto, that is just not my idea of anime).
for example my first character is Mei Ki....Mei is a common girls name, Ki means life.
My monk is Yuki, while a very common boys name (hand plenty of students named that in my junior high classes I taught) also is the word for snow. I have also used the seasons: Haru (spring), and Fuyu (winter) as Haruko is a very popular girls name!.
My first necro has the japanese word for death in her name, while my latest one has their word for poison (which is strange since my first necro uses curses and the last one is the mm, oh well).

My husband uses latin, greek or egyptian words for his characters (except 2 I named which have japanese, well sort of one is more chinese than japanese, names).

MarxF · Jan 06, 2008, 08:43 PM // 20:43

Just random latin jokes. Or for pvp random jokes.

Smile Like Umean It · Jan 06, 2008, 09:13 PM // 21:13

All my names have something to do with me or something I like. Too many to name, but I'll give some.

Smile Like Umean It - When I was really getting into the Killers and the song was stuck in my head.

Ice Queen Chase - Cause I like Buffy and pretty much everyone else in the guild had a character named after one of them from the show.

Soul Not a Soldier - The Killers. Again. Though a guild mate actually had it first. Got her to save it for me when she recreated her war.

ll W A Sd G ll - (We are so gonna die) Mantra for all things pug.

The Animal Bautista - I like Batista and was watching Smackdown when I made him.

Mmm Turkey Sammich - Cause I loves me some turkey sammich

genofreek · Jan 06, 2008, 09:14 PM // 21:14

My GW character names and appearances are inspired by a roleplay group I've been writing for for years. My list of characters are at the bottom; that's my profile. Chris, Eve, Fala, Laura, Gerra, Halcyon (two of those, actually), Marcus, and Rena are all on my account. Plus a couple fringe characters that are only related.

Ditto for my guildies.

Our guild's based on this world.

Zeek Aran · Jan 06, 2008, 09:17 PM // 21:17

I think of a name I really like, or a character from an anime/video game I really like, and add a NIN song with the formula "The ____" to the end. I didn't think of the NIN part until I had made half my characters. >_< Before the NIN, I had the names specifically from a text RP from my earlier years of teh internetz. [Chaos, Fiona, and Zeek are from RPs, Rip, Kagura, and Katie have the NIN names]

Sleeper Service · Jan 06, 2008, 09:49 PM // 21:49

SiFi related names in fantasy.

Fantasy or Lovecraft names in SiFi.

I don't have way of naming my PvE chars, it's all random...
For PvP, It's Go + a word relevant to the profession (with some exceptions) :
-Go Burnnnnnnnn = fire ele
-Go Freezeeeeeeeee = water ele
-Go Dieeeeeeeeee = nec
-Go Warrrrrrrr = mesmer XD
-Go Messssssss = monk

Mac Sidewinder · Jan 06, 2008, 10:08 PM // 22:08

I ususally find a gothic or midevil name generator on the net and fit a first and last name together that I like. At least these sound like real names. I really dislike names like: I Pwnd U, Sexylady, and so forth.

I think real sounding names lead to a greater connection between yourself and your character.

LeoX · Jan 06, 2008, 10:27 PM // 22:27

I like short, sleek names.
I own:
V E
V R
V Z
T N
P Z
My older character names were from what i was inspired on that day.

warpedheat101 · Jan 06, 2008, 10:38 PM // 22:38

i look at something and take the first two letters and make a name out of that
