There has been some discussion on this forum about naming conventions and how immersive they can be.


Personally I think they're a great tool/template to use and I'll definitely be drawn to players that have used them (not that I'll avoid those of you who don't! Tongue)

Just as a means for reference, the published naming conventions can be found in the stickies here

So, rate the person above you's name. [1-10] Tell us what you like about it, or don't like about it. What sort of image does it put across to you, what type of person do you think it belongs to?

To be specific we're talking about CHARACTER NAME, not their username


Also; be nice. My mama learned me not to be mean to others.

My character's name is Khusrael Keimerlwyn - next poster, don't be too brutal!

I'd give it about a 6. I really like the first name, but the surname is a bit of a mouthful, almost on purpose (from what I can tell anyway). And something about using "wyn" in names always irks me.

My character's name is Beatric Reid. Come at me, yo.

Beatric Reid, huh? I'd say...a 7. I like the name, but it doesn't really fit a Roegadyn. Especially with how ridiculous Sea Wolves names' can get, I feel like it lack originality.

My character's name is W'shizu Ayana. 

Go easy!

I would give it a five. It feels like a race lore based name, but it isn't(for the first name). While the second name is much easier to say than one built from lore, it does deviate from the lore. Over all I like the sound of the name, but it does lack any real attachment to lore (at least that I could find, feel free to prove me wrong, i would love that, really). (if I missed a link to lore then I would have to rate it more like a 7)


 Edit: I was beaten to the punch so,
Shizu! Your name looks perfectly fit to the lore. though I would have to give it more of an 8 because the W causes the first name to stumble off the tongue rather than flow. Although that could be seen as a good thing, since other races are meant to have a hard time pronouncing Miqo'te words/names. (also the last name may be one sylable too long for a Male miqo name (the name of the one who sired her) but it still sounds good)

My character is: Rogier LeCard (Róg-ï-ér Lè-cärd)

What do you think?

Sounds like a very strong french name to me.  I'd say 7/10


My character's name is Nel Arthura Celestine Turuphant (Turuphant being her married name)

A long name that kind of reminds me of royal names. I say 7. Sounds cool but more befitting of a hyur (I assume you are miqote).

9/10 I love lalafell naming conventions! The name rolls fluidly, particularly the first name. Very good!

Flamel Eldgamel

I spent a few hours searching for magical words in other languages and I ended up finding eldgammel, which is icelandic for ancient. Flamel fit the naming convention almost too perfectly from there! Be gentle.

9/10 Fits the naming conventions, rolls well and it has a certain fantasy/mystic ring to it. Add to it the deeper meaning of Eldgammel and you've got a nifty name.

Montague Morne is my attempt at following the Elezen naming conventions. It doesn't end in 'x' or 't,' but Montague is French in origin (I've handwaved the impropriety of the name by saying he's an orphan --__--; ). Morne comes from an old tradition of naming orphans after either the place or conditions in which they were found. Baby Monty was found in the rain, and so became Morne - French for dreary.

(An aside to anyone having naming trouble, this website provides a Lore-Accurate name generator.)

I like it. I'd go with an.. 8. It rolls real nice.. It's not like mixing the wrong sounds or anything. 

Now, I didn't even know there were 'official' naming conventions - So, up untill this point, my Elezen was Kaln Valstian.

But, after having read the conventions posted earlier, I'm thinking we'll change to something like..

Astidien Marat.

Go ahead and give me a rating on both, if you please. ^.^

Kaln Valstian: 4 - Scored low due to name non-compliancy. Kaln sounds like a good basis for a Miqo'te first name though.

Astidien Marat: 7 - 9 for the last name, 5 for the first name. I'm just not feeling it. It does make me think of Ettienne though, which I like quite a bit!

Bea, I think that it was somewhere in lore that Roegadyn Sea Wolf women names always end in -wyn. Well, if you are are using the traditional naming methods. Or at least I think I read that somewhere >.>. 

I know that we are suppose to speak about the person above us, but I have always really liked Bea's name. It reminds me of that Lil John song! Well if I am pronouncing it right xD.

Don't really care nor want my name rated though. Just wanted to talk about Lil John Cactuar

I'm gonna go ahead and give it a 7. Loooove the name Selwyn. A lot. Stryke, however, I'm only so-so on. Still, its nice to see a Hyur or two amongst the sea of Miqo'te xD


Okay, my Wildwood is name Isielin Danar'i  (Honestly, it's either Ai-suh-lin, or Ee-suh-lin, I can't make up my mind)

Let it rip! Tell me how I did! Kupo!

I really like how it sounds, especially the first name so 8/10 :]

My wildwood is named Mathieu Douanier. Didn't follow the naming convention completely but it is french, with the surname roughly meaning "toll collector".

I'll give it an 8/10, a high score because it looks pretty good, and it can be shortened easily to Matt or something for people who don't want to type it out.

I didn't follow naming conventions at all when I named my character, though I did when I picked his alias.

Actual name is Ashren (no last name, Snow is more of a title or a nickname), his alias is U'suren Tia.
