What is your lead character's name?

Mirk · Post by **Mirk** » Sun Feb 09, 2003 10:04 am

Here are some of mine:

Beowulf (after a son-of-a-diety hero of ancient scandinavian legend, also after a Chris Lambert's character from a *bad* bud *fun* after-apocaliptic movie based on the said legend) for a stalker

Shinobi (the word has pretty much the same meaning as ninja), for a kensai-thief

Hachi-Dan (means black belt, 8th degree) for a monk

Blondie (using the uber-paladinly portrait from BG1) for a couple of paladins and kits

"Bigfella" - for a halfling assassin

Barbie - for a male elf barbarian, tha started as a test char, but turned out to finish the game onse

Grom (just like the sound of the word, although means "thunder" in Russian) for a fighter-druid

Oh, and a couple of not-that-interesting "Nature's Wrath"s, "Silent End"s, "Fist Fury"s, "Singing Winter"s, "Death from Afar"s and the like for the obvious class representatives in various multiplayer parties

At the moment my Druid's called Mat Cauton, but that's just because I needed a name and looked at my bookshelf and History of the Faithfull C.... damn...

I mean The Wheel of Time saga was in my line of sight.

I believe that when I was just a wee little newbie I called my character Matthijs (my own name)
But usualy Bond-Bad guys do pretty well.
My Gnome Illusionist was called Aurich

Playing an elven assasin right now.... Lor'helin is his name

nephtu · Post by **nephtu** » Tue Feb 11, 2003 12:28 pm

Well...

BG series characters I've actually done much with:
Inziladun M Dwarf LE Fighter/Cleric - Numenorean, LoTR, the birth name of Tar-Palantir, and a suspiciously dwarvish sounding name
Deodand F Human LE Kensai/Mage - Archaic legal term meaning "instrument of death" also a monster in Jack Vance's Dying Earth series
Krasnoyarsk M Half-Elf LE Wizard Slayer - name of a city in Siberia, site of a missile base
Mouse F Human LN Swashbuckler - The original nickname of the Grey Mouser, in Fritz Leiber's "Fafhrd & the grey mouser" books

In Everquest, Akallabeth (Erudite Cleric of Cazic-Thule), Badkat (Vah Shir Rogue) Japakazol (Halfling Warlord) and, of course, my main toon Nephtu Morgulduin (Dark Elf Revenant) - with more play time than all the rest of my alter egos put together.

Yea, I started with BG 1 and after a tremendous amount of thought, came up with "Shandar". I felt that I came up with an excellent original name.........then I met Shandalar. I was very dissappointed. My name was not so original. Right now my leader is a Female and her name is Kalia.

Dirk Hightower (halfling fighter/cleric)
***** Baggins (halfling cleric)
Scaaaaab (half-orc thief)
John, Paul, George, and Ringo (4 Bards)

Jyrran · Post by **Jyrran** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 6:02 am

Jyrran -- human fighter
Itarra -- half-elf ranger (I think)

I haven't been playing too long, so I haven't had a chance to sample others.

I checked the Middle Earth Name Generator link, and found that my Orkish name is Buzbog the Devastator. I kinda like that!

MitchMc · Post by **MitchMc** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 11:56 am

My name is always some version of "Dad" currently we are on Dad the 15th, not too original but I can at least figure out which character/saves are mine and which ones belong to my sons

JonIrenicus · Post by **JonIrenicus** » Fri Jul 18, 2003 4:38 pm

The 2 names I use atm are :
Clarence Braveheart - good
Clarence Blackheart - evil
They kinda fit all classes : )

I tend to say stuff backwards to get my names. Even if I have to alter them just a tiny bit for spelling reasons. So far my favorite is a assassin mage who is wearing all red and has Blackblood club. His name origanally was Red Death, but then I switched it around and kept the t and the h in the same places (can't have ht-something in a word) and came up with Der-Thaed.

My other favorite name is The Wanderer 13 to get that thing that follows you around

My best character right now is my Kensai, Aramav. I got it off my fav Playstation game, Syphon Filter 1 and 2

Ned Flanders · Post by **Ned Flanders** » Tue Jul 22, 2003 10:03 am

Johnnie Walker: 1/2 elf Ranger
Groo the Wanderer: Human Kensai/Mage
Conan: Human Barbarian/Thief
Remy Martin: Dwarven Fighter/Cleric
Jet Li: Human Monk
Martina Navratilova: 1/2 orc Barbarian
Yngwie L. Malmsteen: 1/2 elf skald
Tanqueray Sterling: elf thief/mage
Quettel Whunn: Human Swashbuckler/Cleric

ImperialMarshal · Post by **ImperialMarshal** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 7:00 pm

Paladin: "Raymond Luxury Yacht" (but it's pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove)

Illusionist/Thief: "Godfrey Quigley"

I tried to give my next char a name like "Admiral Higglebottom J. Sodraper the Seventeenth", just so I could see everyone call me by my full name since BG2 never abbreviates any names, but there wasn't enough room so I just went with my standard "Lord Schmidt" (my last name).

Ekental · Post by **Ekental** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 7:10 pm

Mine has always been Ekental Evangels, has been for every game I've played since 1998, (Thanks to EQ I guess)
Though if the character is female I use Esper Evangels

howlur · Post by **howlur** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 11:50 pm

Zeul (if you can name the film it's from you get a cookie)

Ghostbusters!?

[QUOTE=Stilgar]Ghostbusters!?[/QUOTE]

Correct, but I think in GB it's spelled "Zool"

I only played the BG saga once, simply named Rob-hin. In BG 1 I was a wizard, then BG 2 came out but I already deleted BG so I became a wizard slayer.

I'll start BG again soon, when I get my new PC.

moltovir · Post by **moltovir** » Sun Jul 11, 2004 5:18 am

Mine is always Moltovir Gunastran or Noork Neffes.
