I thought that is how all of us Roegadyn characters came up with our names lol. The lore guys said their names were German influenced so it could be why it looks insane. You can go Sea Wolf with a Hellsguard name if you wanted to, but I think your name is perfectly fine. The Hellsguard still basically name themselves the same way as the Sea Wolves, but just say it in a different tongue because they are usually mercenaries and such and have to deal with different races more often.Â
You can have a nickname as some people have said or you can just have people call you Steel or whatever. I thought about having people call my character, Dennthota Ahtahrmwyn, just Thunder, but then realized Denn was not that bad.Â
And Asyria, Agata's last name is insane xD lmao. I love it. I don't even know how to begin going about to pronounce that one.
It's easy! Bliss Tall Win! (ironically that fits her, too).
Though when I ran around with her in phase 3, I was asked if I facerolled her name on the keyboard... T_T
Blyss is blossom, stahl is steel is wyn is daughter... meaning her mom's name was Steel Blossom, and Agata is Amber.
So yes, you're absolutely right about Hellsguard names being exactly like Sea Wolf names except in "English" If agata was Hellsguard, she'd be called Amber Steelblossom, I guess.
But yeah I guess you could just keep the name as it is and let people give you the nicknames they want.
