Name suggestions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Miss Muffet]

Yeah. Here are some characters. I came up with a few names for them but I can't decide and I'd like to see ur suggestions first.

U can also post what u think about these characters and their personalities and which ones should be the main characters.

Other comments are welcome.

I'll tell you, try not go go for the name "Victor". Nearly every game uses it, try not to have a boring name, like "Jonathan" or "Michael". Don't just go for a name at random, work at it until it sounds cool. I have a vampire in my game called "Laxe" and his brother is called "Ordis". I prefer weird names.

Alternatively, you could always use a random name generator. They have thousands upon billions of random names.

Random name generators save alot of time. This one program I have, "RMXP Tools '07", has a random name generator (Usable for more than character names), and you can choose from 'Demon', 'English', 'Gaelic', 'Greek', and 'Japanese'. I use japanese the most.

Errrrrr....... hold up. You basically want the boards both to tell you the names and their personalities and who your main character is? .......okay then. Riiiiiight. If you don't have character ideas, even, where's your story? Where's your game? Name suggestions are more apt to be useful if we know who each face is and what they're like, even. If you're just saying "What kind of dood does this dood look like?"...... uhmmm..... then nix this comment I guess. Well not really. I'm glad to help with names. Just tell me who these folks are. Pretty please?

I think what Phayre's saying, and she's absolutely right, is that an RPG's most important aspect is it's characters. If this is gonna be your game, then you're gonna have to think up their personalities for yourself. Personally I think it's the most enjoyable part >.>

[Miss Muffet]

Yeah. I know. Im juz tryin to help my friend wit his game. I have some ideas and I juz wanna see what u guys think. The more ideas the better, I always say. Anyways, where do I get the name generator? Do I just look it up on google or what?

I'll post again later if I can. Needta go to a party. Whopeee!!

Are you allowed to use Solian like that? (He's letter D.) Just asking.

If you need help on names, I'd reccommend looking at a baby name finder, or Seventh Sanctum.com. I do agree with Phayre and Moosetroop11. You should create their personalities on your own.

My advice, try to keep them simple, symbolic, and reasonable. Remember, a parent or soemthing. had to name their child so something like Xisjjfknellnmslnlsnlsanlsmaltajnsnvithdjjvsxia is out of the question. :p

Do what I do, name characters based off of mythology.  I recommend Norse and Celtic mythology myself, but whatever floats your boat.

Seriously, it adds depth to your game.

[Miss Muffet]

I dunno. But we're probly not goin to use him cuz we found this other knight with green hair and he looks better than Solian does.

 Plus those aren't really all our characters. We're probly not goin to use all of 'em cuz we have three charas thats already finished- u know, name personalities and all. And we dont wanna have to many heroes in our game. (Man, I write long posts)

No, you don't.

Experiment with vowels and consonants. Having 2 vowels next to each other can make a name seem more unusual, as though the character is from somewhere far away. Simple names, ie "John", though boring, seem more familar, and the player can relate to them. Experiment.

Also, I only just realised Phayre is female. O_o

[Miss Muffet]

Thanks for the posts. I found a few name generators and they helped a lot. What would u guys (and girls) say is the best name generator and whered I find it?

[Daetyrnis]

As you may see from my name, I'm a particular fan of the 'ae' combination, as well as 'y's.

Grouping things in syllables can work too.

[Grandy]

 I can't come with names for every character, but the old man just yells "Caligula" at me.

.....STAB.

I totally diagree with Norse names. They're rather overused nowadays, and fairly easy to recognize. Maybe just because I've studies it for a while.... dunno. But I'm rather sick of people throwing in Ragnarok, Fenris/Fenrir, Odin, et cetera, and acting like they're the shiznit. Oh look, my thief's name is Loki cuz he's tricky! Wooooooooo!!!!
