RE: Rate the person above you's name - entropyrat - 08-02-2013
I like the use of a middle name and it flows quite nicely, 7/10.
My hyur will be named XCloudX XSephirocksX.

I love the flow of it, though the Vaughn/Von part of it makes it a bit silly-sounding. I'm not as familiar with Hyur lore as I am with, say, miqo'te or elezen, but does roll off the tongue nicely and such. 8/10!
My main character's name is Antimony Jhanhi. The first name is a recent change after fleeing her tribe unable to face the continued reminders of the mate and children she lost in the calamity. Her original name was K'piru Jhanhi.
[edit]@entropyrat: Oh you.

I love it, both the former and current name. You provided an excellent reasoning for the change and it works both ways from a lore perspective. 10/10.
My main character's name is Selsix Viedeces. (Sell-Six Vee-Ehh-Dih-Sees, Duskwight Elezen)

10/10 Â It flows very nicely and has a very Hyur ring to it.
My main character's name is Morelle Noire ( Moh-rehl N-war) literally meaning Nightshade.

10/10!
Very Elezen-sounding!
How does it mean Nightshade though? I know Noir is black in French... (Noire for the female version)... amusingly similar to my own Elezen's name.
Now I have a bunch of alts, but the name I want evaluated is my main Miqo'te girl: Azyria Ziada.
Back in 1.0, all I knew was Miqo'te names were short and often had Z's in them, among other letters. o_O
Bonus names if you feel like it:
- Jeanette Lenoire (Elezen, actual French name, instead of just French-sounding
)- Agata Blysstahlwyn (Roe Sea Wolf, meaning Amber daughter of Steel Blossom, I looked it up)
- Helene Duval (also French, but it's for a Midlander Hyur)

10/10! I really like Azyria just in a general sense. It's quite pretty and definitely (to me) sounds Miqo'te-ish. I could definitely see it being the name of a NPC standing around town, so it fits in my mind!
Jeanette Lenoire - 10/10 - I like it! It definitely fits all the points of an Elezen name.
Agata Blysstahlwyn - 9/10 - Agata is beautiful. Blysstahlwyn is a bit of a mouthful imho, but it still fits the bill in any case.
Helene Duval - 10/10 - Beautiful name and the surname sounds very Midlanderish.
----------------------
The name I'd like to be looked over is Anselm Graybringer, a male Highlander. You can rate Eve Nightingale as well if you like (a female Highlander) but her surname intentionally strays from the lore-friendly naming conventions (Hint: It's not her family name, just one she gave herself to break away from her family!).
RE: Rate the person above you's name - Eckzein - 08-03-2013
Not holding back and expect the same treatment.
Anselm Graybringer - 5/10 I love the name Anselm, it sounds masculine and unique. Graybringer sounds a bit forced and reads as a slant to an evil/selfish alignment.
Eve Nightingale - ??? Can't really give it a score.
With the context that she gave it to herself than it works and can work pretty well. It definitely doesn't read as natural and I think that's in part from using two words that both have an image or a story associated with them.
Aight... Hit me.
Kran Beyhrus - Female Roedagyn

A solid 7/10. From first glance it appears to follow the proper naming scheme, but it's a tad on the masculine side. I also feel it's a bit, dare I say... Bland? For lack of a better word.
Not trying to offend by any means, it just feels a bit generic. Still though, it's a very good, solid name.

I'll give it a solid 9/10.

As for me it's a female sea wolf, name is Elilgeim Rostnswerdwyn for now, though I'm thinking of changing the surname because I'd like it to roll off the tongue easier.

Wow, that name is a mouthful, but that's how Roegadyn roll with their names, so I'll give it an 8.
My guy's full name is Hofello Tornello.

Quote:As for me it's a female sea wolf, name is Elilgeim Rostnswerdwyn for now, though I'm thinking of changing the surname because I'd like it to roll off the tongue easier. 9.9/10 here since it does follow naming the name convention, though as most people would complain, it is a mouthful and hard to pronounce. Overall, great job!
RE: Rate the person above you's name - Kyatai - 08-03-2013
Might as well give this a go...
My SS Miqo'te female: T'kyiah Soren
My DW female: Chiané Naevioux (of the N'Ardenté Clan)
Notes:
* pronounced: she-an-AY Nah-voh (nard-Doh)
* Chiané, I admit, was inspired by Chani from Dune *shrugs*
* Naevioux is a play off of Nouveau, meaning new... which is a surname she gave herself to protect her clan
* N'Ardenté is a smoosh of Nuée Ardente- which is a geological phenomenon. Literally means 'glowing cloud' but is specific to the destructive cloud of superheated ash, debris and so on produced by a volcano

T'kyiah Soren - 7.5. The first name is awesome and fits the lore, but the last name sounds very bland to me.
Chiané Naevioux - no points for making me use a special character! D: Nah just kidding, I'd say it's a 6. It's a good name, but it doesn't look like it's pronounced the way you explained it, at least to me. It looks like the last name would be pronounced "NAH-eh-Vioh" or "NAY-vioh" and the other last name would be "nar-dahn-TAY."
But then, I'm not French.
I expect all of you to tear my names a new one, so if I get any pansy reviews I'm going to be sad.
Mali Boodscythe - is a Seawolf Roegadyn using a pseudonym. Her real name is Skaenwyda Ganzsaldwyn. Roegadyn names sure are a mouthful.
Tivahlt Grimmgeist - is a Moonkeeper Miqo'te from a far off land, with a name that is so lore-breaking it hurts. But I love him all the same~
Kadezan Kanazan - is a Dunesfolk Lalafell and THE MOST ADORABLE CHARACTER I HAVE EVER MADE.
He's so cute and tiny I just want to squeeze the life out of him.
