When I made my first char, I had no idea what I would call him, but it used to be examples under the text line you wrote in your name.. One of them was Deathblade, so I made Alx Deathblade.. I hate the name now

Most of my characters have Memoria in their name. It's the final location in Final Fantasy 9.

My gamer's name is Yanman. My first GW character was a warrior. Warriors use shouts. Shouts = yelling. Hence, Yelling Yanman.

My names are all from a science fiction role playing game I ran a number of years ago. Enjoyed the characters and it was the last pencil and paper RPG I ran so had a host of names at the ready when Guild Wars came out. Even if they didnt quite fit the genre, they were all names of my own making and had some sentimentality and was all that mattered to me at the time. I tried to match the character looks to the Guild Wars character models when possible.

I have recreated characters a few times in the levels 1-5 range because I thought a new name was more fitting for the class, but I never did beyond around that level. Just didnt want to do the work again, even though its not all that much until after your level 20. If anything, I now wish for a cosmetics salon to tweak character looks a bit given new options out there that were not available when certain characters were created. That or just to change hairstyle when bored lol.

To be honest, I have no idea how I came up with Wind From The North... Occasionally, I'll wish for a different name for my main character, but most of the time I'm happy with it.

my characters name "Prajna Immovable" came from a term in Bruce Lees Tao of Jeet Kune Do.. i thought it would be a cool name.

Snaaaap! I wanted my first character to be called Draco ('cos Harry just sucks :P) then I relized we had to have a last name, so I tried Deathblade which was an example. That was taken, so I tried 'Deatheater' and it worked! Thus the Deatheater family was created.

About half my characters came from an epic Star Wars d20 campaign I used to run too. The other half are veiled references to the Fullmetal Alchemist series. Naturally.

The first ones I associated with family members.

Then I opened a second account and wanted a necro and wanted a name associated with the characters attribte of dealing in death. Death or Die became worked into it. I came up with DiDie and then Lady DiDie. Then my other characters all became a version of DiDie, with the exception of my Dervish who became DiDoe. I got to level 10 before I noticed my typo, and didn't want to reroll. I keep DiDie in all of my characters names because I noticed other people doing it so they would know who it was when they were online playing with multiple chars.
