I have a very simple method for naming my characters that almost never fails. I just use the name of the type of build the character is going to be, usually screwed with a little bit, and attach pal_ at the beginning (my made up, imaginary clan that I use as an excuse to get the name I want :lol. I have characters like:
pal_concy - Concentrate barb
pal_fishface - Summoner necro
pal_hammerman - Hammerdin
Did I put much thought into it? No. Does it work? Yes, even though my friends yell at me for having crappy names.

Never ever understood why people went through so much trouble to have certain words or terminologies as their character names.
Is it really just for the sake of having a 'cool' name?
The only real places I see cool names as useful or really of any use, is in chatrooms.
Don't see the point in having them as character names in a game, TBH.

To me, having a decent name is just as important on my 'D2 list of things' as getting good equipment. I mean, why do people strive to get chains of honor or enigmas when it's more than possible to get through hell difficulty without them.
People want the high end equipment for the same reasons they want a good character name. Either because they think it's 'cool' or because they want a 'perfect' character. I remember back in season one, where there was this one guy wearing the full Tal's set (pretty early on when I started playing, which wasn't at the start of the season). He just kept joining games over and over again, obviously showing off his armor. Same goes to this other guy who I saw in a trade game who was wearing a chains of honor, crown of ages, etc and he was just sitting in town not trading with anyone. Whenever someone said to him 'nice armor' or something of the like, he would just reply with '...', when it was obvious he was sitting there enjoying the fact that he had something better than other people and was proud to flaunt it.
Besides, a good character name could make you memorable :lol: . Names like afbgodbad come and go as they please, but I (personally) remember people who's names stand out.
NOTE: I just remembered that another reason someone might want a good name is for PK'ing. To some, it's better to have that 'player was killed by ?????' statement look wierd or something

The only character I have that I get comments on the name is my lvl 41 necromancer named Hugo_Weaving. I get lots of Agent Smith comments/jokes. And I didn't realize his Hawkmail armor was really fitting until now (making him green, hah).
Most of my characters are named after celebrities or song titles, as I like doing that for some reason. I do have one character that is not named after a celebrity. It's a sword barbarian who's named after my boss. I was short on names that day and I like my bosses first name, so I used it, thought I had to add Mr to the beginning because the name was already taken. And actually, I like the barbarian better, because he doesn't freak me out :lol:

:lol: that is nasty... but great for the build. Good job.Sartok said:
A while ago I was making an iron barb and wanted to call him "Iron_Chef" (possibly using the butcher's cleaver, butcher being the closest in-game thing to a chef I could think of), but that was taken, so I tried "IronChef" and "Iron-Chef", which were also taken. So I went with "IronChef_Barb", which felt a bit like settling. However, on ladder season one I made a new barb and for the heck of it tried "IronChef" and it worked this time.
So, if your names aren't available, try them again every once in a while. People are quitting all the time, and accounts are expiring all the time, so your choice names might just come up.
Only new names I've come up with that are at all original are
HammyHammerster (based on the show I watched as a young'un)
Immortal_Qween - IK Sorc (minus helm of course)... bnet doesn't allow names with "King", "Queen", "Lord", etc... in them, so a touch of settling here as well.
