So originally I had settled on the name Xanthe Morganach for my Roegadyn Sea Wolf Female, but as we've slowly edged closer to launch I am starting to have second thoughts. I've done a lot of (painful) lore research into Roegadyn names (of which there are even more rules for female sea wolves) and finally came to one I think is 100% lore friendly and that I like.

So, the original name was Xanthe Morganach, could be made lore friendly as it's Highlanderish. And the new name would be Guldthota Syhrdoenwyn - Golden Daughter, daughter of Fearless Thunder.

If you're interested in the character's background, a very basic history is up on my character's wiki. I really can't decide, so please feel free to post your opinions, suggestions or even a brand new name! Thanks! (also if i've made a mistake or something in the lore isn't quite right, feel free to point that out)

You know, Sea Wolf names are going to be inherently somewhat clumsy, so I think that it's important to have a "translation" that holds meaning to you, or are happy with at the very least Smile

I think its a fine name Thumbsup .

I think in the end, what is most important is you. You are the one playing this character not others. So as long as you are enjoying yourself I think that is what means the most. If this means keeping the original name or going for a new one; use what you like the most. Smile

Ahh I feel your pain. I too am changing up my name to be more lore friendly.
I think your new name is beautiful. :3
It's got a daddy's little big-strong-sea-girl vibe to it. ;P

The only mistake I can see is that her father's name would've thus been Syhrdoen, although you probably just haven't changed that part of her wiki just yet. Figured I'd point it out just in case!

I like that you've given thought to the reason for her first name in your backstory. I also feel like the last name has good flow, which is hard to do considering how long they generally have to be.

In the end I decided to change the name, and updated my character's history/background accordingly. Little has changed, in fact, but sometimes change is necessary. Thanks guys!
