Are you a creative namer?

[Bara]

I usually just grab a book of my shelf flip to a random page and find to character names then smash them together in some manner until it sounds decent.

[DraQ]

I like when the setting has established naming conventions (see TES).
I am also fond of unusual, characterfull names and nicknames, but I am not very good at coming up with that.

 

[normie]

Adolf, sometimes Adolf Hitler

León Degrelle if I'm feeling fancy

if I need more, I just open up a list of Knight's Cross recipients and find inspiration from the names of Europe's greatest heroes

 

[DraQ]

Adolf, sometimes Adolf Hitler

normie

False.

 

[octavius]

I like to base names on Codexers whose names I can't pronounce, like Oddleik Womanless the Sweaty and Zojboj Laminate.

 

[Thac0]

Abolutely and effortlessly. I had to do a lot of DMing in three different rulesets and a dozen different settings for my friend group. A lot of my friends are uncreative to the point where they could spend 15 minutes staring at a blank name space. I had to make up a lot of names on the fly.

I mostly just cobble together something from my subconsciousness that either fits the race/class or something that does deliberatly not fit it and make a small backstory in my head about it.

What's with the 'cuck' post rate spamming, smaug?

Your names are not in all caps.

 

[Spectacle]

I like to name my characters after Russian aircraft designers.

 

[octavius]

I also like names that tell me the race and class of the character.

Female Lizardman Warrior: Lizzie Borden (using an Axe of course)
Halfling or Kender Thief: Y U Little (after all, that what all the merchants call him)

Have you considered Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz?

 

[Reinhardt]

I'm chosing main theme for party, like "Rance girls" and then start naming based on roles.

 

[Saerain]

Probably not so much "creative" as "autistic". I care a lot that the character fits the setting, and have to do my homework into the races/cultures to get a feel for them linguistically and in nomenclature. If the NPCs I run into indicate that I'm wrong, I'll reroll or hack to fix it.

[Morpheus Kitami]

I usually use ancient Greek or Welsh names. Because the more proper ones tend to be mythological related, my party composition usually sounds like the apocalypse is about to come crashing down.

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

For testing, names are basically an explicit description. For actual gaming, a proper name. Coining names isn't a problem, being that I am literate.

 

[Ol' Willy]

Adahn for regular use
Flagg for evil warlock

If game is party based, I usually go with Beckham, Zidan, Figo, Ronaldo, R.Carlos and Raul, always a massive win

[Reality]

I still have memories of mashing through JRPGs when I thought it was faster than using the start button so I often had char names of the default and then all capital A to the char limit.

Sometimes I throw in NinaAAA and RobinAAA into one of my modern teams for old time's sake.

My favorite other names are

Lunch the Barbarian

Butterfly the Necromancer

I think my default behavior is to give everyone short common names, but I get bored so the 4th or 5th guy will get a slightly fantayisth one and then the 6th guy will be named after a noun.

As an example, my team for Elminage Gothic was - Bangaa,Myers,Jim,Vandia, De-Vries, and Bennett

 

[Ol' Willy]

Bennett

 

[Filthy Sauce]

I usually made a team called 'the breakfast club' and named everyone after cereal.

Captain Crunch
Lucky Charms
Cocoa Puffs
Fruity Pebbles
Applejacks
Cookie Crisp

They where the traditional team, but occasionally I would switch them out for a different surgary death.

 

[DraQ]

if memory serves me right, Zboj Lamignat got best names

but then i consider list in here apex of potential names
https://pl.wiktionary.org/wiki/Indeks:Polski_-_Gwara_policyjna#Osoby

He's Laminat now.

 

[lefthandblack]

Male:

Lefthand The Black
Vergen Raep
Dexter St. Jock

Female:

Karessa Blade
Morgan Quicktongue
Kuntessa

After that if I still need more I just play around with things until I find something that feels like it fits the characters.

Morgan Quicktongue

Malena Morgan?
