8/10 You can't really go wrong with a name like Ashren Snow. The only thing I think you'll run into is people thinking that name is GoT/Asoiaf based because of the name "Snow" being used as the last name, even if it's more of a nickname.

My Highlander is, Yaein Mayweather. And my Garlean spy is, Sasha Vas Godspeed.

Yaein Mayweather - 9/10.

I usually like names that flow really well and your's does. Yaein is stronger sounding and totally fits the highlander style, and the Mayweather adds a cute touch so in the end it results in a really womanly sounding name. I like it.

Sasha Vas Godspeed - 8/10

I like the name Sasha, and the Vas is the Garlean touch, but personally I try to avoid the two-words-put-together last names because they are so commonly used in MMORPGs when it comes to roleplay.. Which I suppose isn't a bad thing. In the end, it is a good name regardless of my personal preference.

My Hyur Bard's name is Felix Sideris(Sider-is).

Dude. Felix? That is an awesome name. Big Grin

I'm not sure how well any of it follows Hyur naming conventions, but both names seem plenty Hyurish to me! 10/10

A'eyshn Demiir, my Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te. She was originally just "Aysun," but about a month after launch I began to notice all the Seekers had apostrophes in their names, so I made up a Seekerish name for her, and made it hard to pronounce correctly, thus she goes by Aysun. This seems to be a common thing for Miqo'te these days, but back then no one else did it at least.. ^^

Aysun is actually a Turkish name, as is Demir, if you're wondering where I yoinked that from.

XD Thanks! Hyur midlander names, maybe it's hyur in general. Usually germanic I'm pretty sure.. or something around that. And yeah, I've always loved your charater's name. Looking forward to running into you in RP!

Highlanders often take on a last name that has some meaning to them. So you'll see Hyur with a "made-up" name, or two word name, and that absolutely holds to within the naming conventions as written Big Grin

Sure you know that though Thumbsup

Felix Sideris has a Latin feel to me...you sure you're not a Garlean spy as well, hmmmm Laugh

? If you're a Midlander, not a bad bard name; 8/10. If you were a Highlander, maybe Felix Slidebar would fit well for a music-making minstrel (again with the two-word names Wink

)

My Duskwight's name is Isobeau Mauvaix

*note: Aysun jumped me, but then Tarath jumped back in...I feel justified to retaining my original post Tongue

I think your first name fits a Seeker, would I be correct in thinking it was Eh-shun in pronunciation? Demiir seems a bit odd for the catfolk (or is the dual ii drawn out Deh-mi-ir? as in "mi" from mirror but more drawn?) so over all 7~? it was my understanding that they largely used "raspier" sounds.

I use the full name Quaraunt Imarin Baenund (Ku-waar-aun EE-maar-inn BAY-nn.OOn-duh The full stop in his last name being a short pause) Pulled from a mixture of French folklore and Ilythiiri.

Nope!

That's why she goes by Aysun, because that's how it's supposed to be pronounced! Aye-soon (with the lil miqo'te hiss h thing of course). Surname is just Deh-meer. Seeker females take their surname from their father's forename, which are usually short, one or two syllables, so I got lucky that it could be fenangled into a forename if needed. Thanks for the rating~

AH thanks for the clarification,
just as a note, I think (due to dialect difference) my Eh (mentally) sounds like you Aye, unless your place more emphasis on the e. The "soon" is still more fitting.

so the "meer" is more the "mer" from "merit"?

I greatly enjoy linguistics, so thanks for the time to break it down.

Easiest way for me to describe it? Go to google translate, and make the Turkish guy say it. :3 He says it perfect~ http://translate.google.com/#en/tr/Aysun%20Demir

Now that I've thoroughly derailed this... Some one rate his name! xD

WAHAHA my mental was almost right. didn't know google translate could speak, its pronunciation of my own in French is pretty accurate except for the last name.

Admittedly, French isn't my subject/language but I'd say it sounds/reads fairly french enough for me without being too over the top, though with some of the pronunciation sounds, I'm guessing that comes from the Ilythiiri and folklore roots? I'd give it a 7.5/10. Well done!

Sidenote: It was a good derail you guys! Big Grin

My character's name is Zarek Windsoul (Za-rek Wind-sohl). Given his mixed heritage I smashed together a name that took a little from both Highlander and Midlander naming conventions.

Dromwald · **08-02-2013, 12:46 PM**

7/10 I'm not sure about the surname but Zarek has a good strong, honest ring to it.

My Lalafell is Vespino Pino

Well, THAT certainly sounds familiar Big Grin

. You get a 9/10 from the French judge Tongue

My Duskwight is named Isobeau Mauvaix

plutosams · **08-02-2013, 01:19 PM**

Isobeau Mauvaix sounds really french and keeps generally to the naming conventions. Â I also like how it sounds very similar to a Hyur name Isabelle with a french sound to it. Â 9/10

My Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te is named Khior'a Laanakoh

I really love the first name! Â Say it aloud... "Khior'a..." it's quite lovely and fits perfectly into the naming convention. Â The repeated hard -K- in the 2nd name is a nice way to bring cohesiveness into it. Â 9/10.

My character's name isÂ Kayle Vaughn Delwyn.
