Character Names

my latest theme toward char-naming was making them char-related. I had Laggsteress (people liked that one), Lagbag, and Wirts_Lag who have then had not yet ventured outside the rogue camp... before I gave the account to somebody right before joining the army. Now that I'm discharged, and found out I was able to keep my other accounts active, it's back to d2 :uhhuh:
 
Ok.. some of my latest chars..

Vipermage (!?) - Blizz sorc..Kinda boring. But I was surprised to find the name available.
Ash-Williams - Charging Sanctuary+synergy dude. Fun name. He's wielding an upgraded Vile Husk with an ed% jewel and is supposed to do something like 2000% ed to undead. Very disappointing build.
Madman-Jones - Frenzybarb.
Capt-Planet - Avenger. Captain-Planet was taken but I thought that the name suited the char so what the hell.
Gee-Wiz - Enchantress. level 6 atm..
Whirlin-Wirt - Ww-barb with swords.
Burnin-Bob - Holy fire pala. (I found that stupid pala shield with hydra etc, leved to 23 and got tired of him. I also have a 4 socket phase blade in case I ever get the runes for Hand of Justice (not likely))
Maniac-Mac - IK barb with max Berserk

There.. I've seen worse. :uhhuh:
 
My favorite name I have so for is my Barb...
HorkChop
PoisonOak <--my poison necro
LittleLamb <--my dclone killer frost zealot
LrdFarquat <--my hammerdin
 
Er, uhm.. Cantos, what's examplary mean?
I'd look it up, but the dictionary is after my soul atm...
[/end lame excuse]

i try to give my chars elven names...

Alyanamba (means blessed hammer)
Anaistan (sunrise.....a enchantress)
LomeaNeuma (shadowy traps.....trap assa (duh!)

only three so far, and if there are any Quenya experts out there, please do not kick me because of my crappy elvish grammar.....i'll get better!

i also had: Mf-Magik on the first ladder (and i joined pretty late)

i have MfMagik-II now (couldn't bear to delete the old one :hanky: )

all my mules so far are named Mulister with a I, II or III after..

also have a pure summoner named skellister (my acc is mr.sinister, so i used the -ister to identify them.....realised that it wouldnt work out though)

:evil:
 
The vast majority of my character names and accounts are Egyptian deities, or Egytian words placed together to form a name, but most of them are mules. The bonus with that is that I have never been rejected because there are so few people that know Egyptian gods except in their Greek form, and when I already have one character with a name there are acceptable variations (Sekhmet instead of Sekhet) based on different translations. Actually, come to think of it there is one member of the pantheon that I couldn't get - Nut, but I wouldn't want that name anyway. I also use mythological and historical names and fantasy names all of which are appropriate to the build. Some examples are:

Egyptian deities:
Djehuti (better known as Thoth) - my main account name
Meriselk (Beloved of Selk - the scorpion god) - lvl 6 asn
Selket (female counterpart to Selk) - asn mule
Serqpeta (Scorion-Bow) - lvl 81 Venom ranger asn
Sekhmet/Sekhet (both variant spellings of the goddess that burnt the earth to ashes) - both abandoned fire sorcs
Horemakhet (Horus in the Horizon) - account name...also my email address for about 4 years before I realized what people that didn't know Egyptian thought it meant...
Sokar - account name
Sokar_Rostau (Lord of the 5th division of the Underworld) - lvl 85 pure skelliemancer
Upuat (jackal-headed god, twin to Anubis, name means "Opener of the Ways") - lvl 81 Fury wolf made to rush people before I ceased rushing.
Anpu (better known, in Greek, as Anubis)
Ausar (Osiris)
Auset (Isis)
Khaibit (means shadow) several asn's with variations on this name, all mules lol
Tiye (a common female name) - sorc mule
Aiye (common male name) - barb mule
Hor_Aha (fighting falcon) - paladin mule
Narmer (the real Scorpion King) - necro mule
Kheprey (an alternate spelling for Khepera, the dung beetle that rolled the sun across the sky)
Nehebka (a god of the underworld, one literal trans. being Soul of the Snake) - poison nec
Nebt_Heqet (Lady Heqet, a frog headed goddess sometimes identified with the greek Hecate)
Herua - (Horus) - pala mule
Anherua - (a different aspect of Horus) - mule
Heru_Nub (the Golden (Nub) Horus) - rune mule/upgrader
Neb_Apep (Lord Apep, a foreign god imposed on Egypt (he's a bad guy))
Neb_Saba (Lord of Wolves) - 73 Fury Dru
many, many more in this category

Historical/Mythological names include:

Cathbad (IIRC the last druid to crown an Irish king) - druid mule
Amairgen (maybe he was the last druid to crown an Irish king, whatever, they were both historical Druids) - Druid of some description, been so long since I played him I forget the build
Charles_Mardel (Charlemagne's father...Charles the Hammer) - lvl 42 Hammerdin
Shemyaza (also known as Azazel...later known, wrongly, as Satan to some) - necro mule
Simon_Magus (biblical figure...look it up) - necro
Uther_Pendragon (King Arthur's father) - 37 Frenzy barb
Khai_Khusrau (a semi-mythological Iranian king) - lvl 19 summon dru I think
Berenice (Can't remember but I think she was the wife of Greek General Ptolomy) - undetermined sorc

Fantasy names:

Serakwen - (bastardized Quenya or Sindarin meaning Bloodmaid (Sereg-wen iirc) season 1 lvl 96 Palazon
Tyla_Frostburn - 89 MF Meteorb sorc

Sera_Swiftmark - 92 bowazon
Ruinwen_Rana - abandoned fire sorc, the name is Sinadrin (one of Tolkein's lingos) and means Wandering Flamemaid iirc
Terwyn_Ragefist - abandoned barb
Keira_Swiftmark - my very first bnet char, lvl 93 "hybrid" (don't ask, I just said she was my first bnet character) zon, Sera's older sister.

Kasyra_Ashfist - lvl 6 Enchantress

These next few are tongue in...erm...cheek fantasy names:

Finn_Gaquim - Barbarian

Masterfully done, hero!
 
I like to try to make up my own names that match who they are and what have and do, like a brave and noble paladin known as Sir Alcheron [prenounced AL-SHRON], or a swift and silent amazon known as Hadriel.in fact for dungeons and dragons they have a book just for names.
 
I used to try and make serious names, but then I realized that I find it much more enjoyable to see a silly name as my character. That or I try to base them off of animé characters. :P A few of my old ones are deleted, and all of them are expired, that remain. But I keep what I can for memory. I got (In alphabetical order):

USWest Realm

BearMyChildren (Paladin; Miroku-based joke)
Fremacker (Amazon)
imagurl_lol (Amazon)
Kazaana (Paladin; Miroku again)
plzkthx (Necromancer)
SecsyBabyGurlol (Sorceress)
SexyBabyGurl (Druid)
Tremacker (First character; Paladin)

USEast

Bear-kun (Barbarian)
IluvKaibasVoice (Sorceress; true name)
Ima_gurlol (Amazon)
IwishIwas_Sora (Assassin; Sora-based)
RoofleTwoShoes (Amazon)
Syaoran-kun (Paladin)
The_Hurricane (Druid; Stand back! There's a hurricane coming through!)
ZergRush_kekeke (Amazon)

Though my all-time favourite name that I made was back in 2001 out of my silly anger towards some less-than-honest players. :P

HackerzRFags (Sorceress) Sadly expired a long time ago. :P
 
I try to have names that fit.

Arrow_Wench the bowazon
Iridium the mf sorc
Preacher_Man the zealot
De_Funct the summoner


Chars I've had in the past included...

Prints_Charming the weredruid
YummyDeadThings the necro
BigMadMeanie the leap barb
Ghost_Woman the trapsassin
Perdita_X the sorc
Mr_Smitey the zealadin (I changed my mind after he was built)

I've had lots with bad names as well, I'e been known to delete chars cause I hated the name I gave them.
 
I like to stay with a theme... I was *Pine-sol on west and had Febreze, and CascadeComplete and stuff.

Now on east I am Killer.Queen. and my char's are all Queen songs... Like One-Vision, AKind_OfMagic, FlickOfTheWrist, WeWill_RockYou and such.
 
i dont have any common names reserved...but my friend has a eu nl sorc named "Magic" :)
and he made her like 1-2 months ago...amazing it wasnt taken :p
