Funny character names

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.morrowind (More info?)

The part of character creation the tortures me the most is the NAMING.
My earliest characters didn't have interesting names. My most
successful early character was my female Argonian reformer Fhuri.

I worked a Nord assassin named Bogus for a while, and I also had a
Redguard swordsman named Yomama, but I abandoned them, and several
others because I kept wanting to start over.

I right now I'm playing a kick-ass Imperial Telvanni named Howdy Podner,
and a Female Nord avenger named Helza Poppin. I also just started a new
Argonian troublemaker named Here-Comes-Trouble. I realize these are
rather lame, and I am curious to know what kinds of names some of you
truly creative people came up with.

Naming has been a problem for me lately, I seem to be running out of names that
I like. In the past I've used Senate, Sabathius (from space hulk), Ahndorr, and
Zzeddmoirr. I've a longer list of forgotten names that I used when I was
testing my own custom plugins for the game. Of course, since I've forgotten
them I can't list them here.

Hehe, reminds of the name Edd Theman (I always read it as The Man) aka
Fast Eddie.
Not one of my characters, he's one of the original NPCs.

LOL I never noticed that before.

I also like Rad Hard-heart who's at the fort near Balmora. He's
well-named, as you'll find out if you ever get kicked out of the
Imperial Legion and ask him to be allowed back in.

I named my Imperial Fitz Chivalry after my favorite character in Robin
Hobb's Assassin series

Good one, thanks. Fitz is a great name that can go with all kinds
of amusing last names.

I know how you feel. It is *tough* to make good
fantasy-type names that don't feel silly to use.
Some time ago on the bethesda forums, someone
posted that they name thair characters something like
"oh, I just farted", so that all the NPCs say things
like "oh, I just farted, do you need more duties?". lol.
My first character, who played the entire game
all the way through, was named Bob. It totally does
not fit the Morrowind/fantasy universe but I just like
that name. I know it pisses off the Dunmer to know
that not only is their precious Nerevarine an
*Imperial*, but he is also named BOB! Ha!
My second char is a Khajiit so I named him
Karl.
For my latest character, I put more time into
picking the name. I wanted a name that was more
fantasy-sounding, yet not dorky. Since this character
is a Breton, and since Breton males make the most
*annoying* sounds when in combat, I made this
character a female. I ended up making up a new name
that sort of sounded like an existing name: "Rashelle"
(sounds like Michele). To me that sounds classy yet
exotic at the same time.
Imagine my horror when I later found out that
Rashelle is a real name.

Actually it is six books. The Tawny Man series continues the abuse 14
or so years later.

I preferred the The Tawny Man trilogy. Everything the Assassin
Trilogy had, with the angst turned down a few notches.

I thought the first book in the series was far harsher than anything in
the first trilogy.

It would be worse if you found out it meant "vomit" in French, or
something.

I usually stick to something that lets me get into the story well. Unless I
am ripping off a novel or game, like my current character, Kil'Jaeden - a
demon from Warcraft.
Past characters have been Thorm Skyrage, Mhoram, Kam, Silver Willy, Zant,
and Stompthemodtester.

a couple of old d&d names I have also used in MW :

Waylan Swift - for good natured sneaky character

Goodwin Lance - a near immortal caster character

Khiida - current char (would be better for khajiit, but used on an argonian)

Kristof de Montarion - a young nobleman, maybe breton or imperial
