Logan Anatha is my monk; Xan Furdean is my barbarian. Not tremendously earth-shattering, but I dig them. Just go with whatever you want. Of course, the real fun is getting a Scrabble board together and playing with letters until you come up with some really twisted, yet strangely cool, names.

Kel de'Orion (half-elf fighter/mage/thief).
Also, Gregor the Red (human thief/fighter dual).

Just make them up as I go......

Being from Scandinavia (namely Denmark) I can say with some certainty, that Yomn an Yveir sounds as alien in our tounge as names from the middle east or other far away places. Good old Scandinavian names would be (at least from a danish point of view) Erik, Jens, Leif, Bjorn, Torsten. Their surnames often described them or some deed they had done. Thus Leif den lykkelige(the happy) was named so, because he saved some people. My personal favorit is Daarligfjaert which translates into bad fart

Personally I steal my names from Tolkien (If you have to steal, why not do it from the Master himself). Thus my haflings (hobbits) are often called Merry, Pippin, Frodo or Bilbo. Dwarves varies from Gimli to Thorin Oakenshield.

Edit: We hates this nasty language, doesn't we my prescious... Impossible to spell it is.

Cho Shwi Li is my monk. I just liked the sound of it. I also use Ben N'Bith-bodah (a duergar fighter-thief), Agavarden (dw. ftr), and GenRenail N'fithairn (1/2 elf female bard). All the rest are named after characters I had in PNP games a long time ago.

BTW, speaking Swedish, I agree that the above mentioned names don't sound too scandanavian. They're pretty cool, though, nonetheless.

My apologies I made a typo, it should have read tongue - as in language. Do you perchance comprehend now, or is there anything else you wish to nitpick?

Nowadays I just use my real first name or Christina/Chrissy/Chris. But before I started writing my story with Chris leading I used Celes Silver. Which is a combination of a character from Final Fantasy 3 on the SNES and my favorite metal. (You have to agree that it doesn't sound bad tough)

Moonmaid · Post by **Moonmaid** » Thu Jan 04, 2001 7:25 am

My mage (human/female/invoker) is Wilannyth. I have no idea how I came up with that, but since I played her in BGI too, I´ve become quite fond of that name.

Maurice · Post by **Maurice** » Thu Jan 04, 2001 7:59 am

My Cleric is named Kaysa (or in EQ it's Kaysha since Kaysa is not allowed there for some reason). My Rogue is named Taysir. Both these names come from Magic: The Gathering. Kaysa is an Elder Druid for the Elves there, and Taysir is a Minotaur. I liked these names, so I picked those two. By now, they mean so much more than they used to do on the cards. Basically, I see those names as being 'mine'.
