Ranger: Aerina Rox, my first and main character. Her name came from a bastardization of "Aeryn Rox" as in Farscape's Aeryn Sun kicks A$$! I wanted to be a tad original though so I changed the first name by a few letters.

Mesmer: Inthast Rox, because it's a really cool name.

Warrior: Brygid Rox, because I wanted something which reflects my Celtic background, and I like to use "y" instead of "i" (it's all Farscape's fault).

Assassin: Deythe Rox - speaks for itself.

PvP character (usually male Ranger): Caedynce Rox - the "y" thing again, plus I wanted his name to reflect the way I perceive him operating in the context of team play. He is in perfect Caedynce with the rest of the team - whether spiking a target or interrupting on cue. This is actually my favorite name.

PvP character (usually female Monk): Harmony Rox - not as creative. I had similar thoughts about Harmony as I had with Caedynce. Harmony plays in harmony or synch with the rest of her team. Plus "harmony" conjures soothing and healing mental images.

I think it's been pretty much over a year since I proposed a solution to aNet which included the use of a white-list parallel to a black-list of words.

That way you could have "jew" on the black list (for whatever sordid reasons) and at the same time use "jewel" as a name.

But the much bigger problem with aNet filter is, that it's somehow inside the game client and not on the server.
I would have to re-read the GGrey's explanation again, but as I recall she mentioned that a change of the black-list would not only affect ALL languages, but that every client would have to download aprox. 10MB if the list would be changed.

So, assuming that this explanation is not a big fat lie to bug me off, all banned words should be somewhere on my computer, and "simply" changing the list on the hard drive could be a workaround, but that's just a theory I have.

Can any of you hacker freaks out there confirm that?

Naming my characters is quite important to me, I like to come up with original names.. here are some of the names I have so far:

Skylar Black Rose (Nec) (Skylar is probably one of my most favourite names

)
Xerladine Fernwelle (Mo) (something different)
Sophie Stormtrooper (Couldnt resist this for my War, probably my most un-original name

)
Thaylea Blackthawne (R)
Lucinder Grey (Me)

Demesis · Jun 13, 2006, 01:11 PM // 13:11

Punky Monkey (Mo) I somehow have a father-daughter relationship with that character :P

The Zosomo · Jun 13, 2006, 03:18 PM // 15:18

Mines 'The Zosomo' ,the zoso is a led zeppelin symbol and i added the 'Mo' just to make it sound better

Rose Thornz is my beloved first character an elementalist, at the time Rose Thorn was not available but I later got it and made a monk. Crown of Roses is my ranger with the flowery hairdo. Enchanting Rose is my primary monk. Cursed Rose is my cute and scary necro. Barbed Rose is my warrior used it because I kept calling her a barb, short for Barbarian. Rose Ring is my ritualist named her that cause she always turns in a cricle when casting spells. Rose Daggerdance is my squishy assassin. Red Rose Petals and Priceless Rose I keep remaking. They are not really complex names but I like them.

Red Rose Petals turned out to be a necromancer
Priceless will be an ele once I get another character slot just a pvp slot atm

I now have:
Chocolate Rose a chocolate colored dervish; makes me crave chocolate each time i play her

Twelfth Rose has to do with 12 dozen roses if you reallly want to know pm me and I'll tell you

and a few other Roses but there names aren't particularly unique in my mind.

korcan · Nov 22, 2006, 06:09 AM // 06:09

using my real name or a mix of my name, close friends names, and family names, i use a simple cipher method in creating new names.

reimi hunt
rud rumthin
etc etc

it takes a while to come up with a name that satisfies me but i like the method i use

Thank goodness, another chocolate female dervish.

Trakata · Nov 22, 2006, 06:49 AM // 06:49

Nice necro of this thread.

Calon Centaru
Omnisius Centaru
Trakata Yemeth
Forsaken Ka
Forsaken Khef
Maera Izdahl
Navarial Kirinas
Xuri Phelan
Rautenc Ab Aeterno

My first character, Calon Centaru, I came up with a long time ago while playing Mechwarrior 2. Then, later, I decided I liked the last name so I thought up Omnisius as a second name. The rest I take, at least somewhat, references from important things in my life. Two of my characters, Forsaken Ka and Forsaken Khef, come from my guild (Song of the Forsaken) and the Dark Tower series, by Stephen King (khef and ka). Trakata is a form of lightsaber combat, and Yemeth is a reference to Planescape:Torment (my avatar too). Maera was a friend from another game I played, same with Xuri, Navarial I just kind of invented, and Rautenc is an anagram of Centaru, suffixed with the Latin phrase for, "from the eternal".

Yep.

Xenex Xclame · Nov 22, 2006, 07:13 AM // 07:13

I only have one character which the name has a meaning behind it.
Thats is Durga Dido, it means Unatainable Virgin and she is a monk

My current pvp necro her name is Miss Use Urbody, which of course is a cool way of saying Misuse Your Body,this name obviously because of the death magic that she has

Tide to Go · Nov 22, 2006, 07:22 AM // 07:22

I thought you got banned for racist stuff??? or stuff close to it

Gun Pierson · Nov 22, 2006, 07:41 AM // 07:41

My first name is Gunther, so I took the 'Gun' part from there. I'm playing a monk only so it had to be something with an asian sound. In the movie Karate kid, mr Miyagi says Daniel San. So I went for Gunah San.

star firefly · Nov 22, 2006, 08:54 AM // 08:54

Pale Valsharess (necro) - Valsharess is an evil character in NWN1 third expansion (Hordes of Underdark). She is actually a drow - but I prefer pale palette, so I named her Pale

Pale also carries a message that this char is more neutral then evil.

Zoe Stormcaller (ele) - Zoe is my real name, stormcaller for Xmen character Storm. When I created this char I wanted to be an air ele, but for now it's fire

And finally Keit Shifter (warrior). Keit for Hecate (took a name from Dan Simmons "Hyperion") and Shifter because this char is also act according to circumstances and not some hard written morals. This is the default name I use in all RPG games.

Saphrium · Nov 22, 2006, 08:57 AM // 08:57

Mori Rivers(Assassin): Memento Mori, Latin meaning "remember that you are mortal", "a reminder of your death".

Saphrium Minkiz(Necromancer): Similarly spelled with "Saraphim Monk", indicating the fallen angel of misguidance.

daky · Nov 22, 2006, 09:32 AM // 09:32

I'm all for ironic names. Even tho I have Several more chars, these two just happen to be my favorite.

Unwanted Friend
Unfaithful Servant

Nexus Icon · Nov 22, 2006, 09:38 AM // 09:38

I'm fond of names based on songs by obscure bands, and one band in particular has influenced 3 of my character's names: The Wildhearts.
"Nexus Icon", as well as meaning "The Sacred Centre", rather an egocentric name, is a song about a flambouyant rock star and his behaviour; quite fitting for a mesmer

I have a female mesmer on a second account named "Miles Away Girl", another fantastic Wildhearts song, and quite suitable for a dreamy mesmer lady.
"Wildheart Everlone", my ranger, obviously takes the band's name as her first name and one of my favourite songs of their's as her surname. It just seems ideal for a ranger

Other names are a mix of names from other sources, whether contemporary or historical, such as Spring Heeled Jack (sin) and Beowulf Wyrmslayer (warrior).

Then there's the ones that started out as silly made-up names but ended up being quite cool, such as Vincenzo Northstar (monk) and Cherloth Krieger (pronounced Share-loth; necro).

There's loads more, but they're not as memorable

garethporlest18 · Nov 22, 2006, 09:47 AM // 09:47

Wow what a read...anyways.

Gareth Porlest is my first character that I still have. He's a warrior and the name, or so I thought, is totally made up. Till I found out there were other Gareth's lurking around.

Abaddon Walker my necro, came from Abaddon's Mouth the mission and since I figured I'd tie Abaddon in with Abyss, that seemed to fit a necro. The Walker part was just that he walked the Abyss.

Tas Releo, who is now my deleted first ele, his first name is a shortened Tasselhoff from Dragonlance series, one of my favorite characters but I wanted to be subtle. Releo is just made up.

Lenny Kegger was my first monk and while he ended up being deleted, Lenny was what i thought at the time, the name of Motorheads vocalist. Turns out it as Lemmy :S. Anyways Kegger came from a beer keg, just with ger added on I needed something as a last name that's what popped.

Vienni Porlest my deleted mesmer male. Well his name was made up and used the same surname Porlest just cause I wanted to start having the same last name. Made him during Halloween 05.

Lenny Porlest who came shortly after Halloween is my monk I still have and what a lot of people know me by (Lenny) in such places as the Grotto. Lenny comes from my first Lenny monk for the same reason and the surname for the reason I stated above, I just wanted to follow the Porlest line.

Hello Im Bunny One was a female ele, now deleted that I created female for my girl who wanted me too. I needed something random, since I couldn't think of a name and that's what my ele reminded me of a bunny. The rest of the words Hello and Im are obvious and One well she was the first.

Mountain Snow Fall was a now deleted ranger that well I like mountains and snow so went with that since I couldn't figure out a name at the time.

Factions came and with it...new characters

Hello Im Bunny Two was my ressurected ele, name still holds same meaning as Bunny One, except Two as she's the second.

Hug Me Im Cute Girl is my mesmer, the name..well since in Pre-Ascalon I was being harassed by guys on Bunny One..I figured I'd see what would happen if I used this name. Nothing really happened at all, except a few rude remarks and quite a few hugs.

Isolation Years was my now deleted assassin, the name is a song by Opeth.

I Strawberry Flavor is my ranger I have now. I like strawberries a lot and usually have that flavor in ice cream, milkshakes and whatnot. So I went with that, bad grammar because I Am doesn't fit with the rest.

Im Bedtime Bear was my now deleted Rit. My girl likes carebears and that was her favorite one and since she likes the male Rit dance I figured I'd make him for her.

Now for NF characters...

Dr. Benson Porlest, is my paragon. I'm not sure where that name came from, I looked at him and said to myself..that looks like a Dr. Benson. I just wanted to keep the last name I've always had.

Emilee Porlest is my Dervish. I think the name Emilee is very beautiful so I used it.

Put Things In Me was my old storage character cause I needed one so badly and that name fit

Call Me Wishmaster is my now storage character, the name just came to mind. My girl likes Wishmaster the album and movie series..so yeah.

Nevermore Owns Us is my new assassin. The name clearly states it, Nevemore is a kick ass band who owns us all with their great music.

Whew..

Cebe · Nov 22, 2006, 09:55 AM // 09:55

I have always wanted to be able to call a character "Celestial Beaver"...unfortunately, ANet seem to not like the word "Beaver" probably because the word is related to various parts of the female anatamy. Slightly unfair when you consider a few days later I was in the Great Northern Wall mission and met someone with a name that, if I entered it into this forum, I would no doubt get banned! How is this fair? I did take a screenshot and do keep meaning to send it to ANet to complain...

Their system really does just defy belief sometimes.

Anyways...My characters are:
Elementalist: Hitomi Kyoko
Mesmer: Crispy Strips
Ritualist: Blood Chemist
Necromancer: Soul Chemist (yes, I was feeling a little uninspired)
Ranger: Extra Fries [Pet: The Colonel

]
Monk: Errogenous Zone
Paragon: Amy the Vengeful
Dervish: Cheesy Doughballs (currently only a storage character)
