How do you name alt's?

Just toss some words into the translator and see if they sound good in japanese.

“Kasai” = Fire. Kori is just a name :smiley:

On my most serious mains i like a serious name. But the more alts i get the sillier name they get. Here are a few examples.

Tallandbald for a hairy dwarf
Tulkiran for a kultiran
Voidermort for a void elf
Trolldalari for a zandalar troll
Sneakyfart on a rogue
Woofingbark on a worgen hunter with a pet named Barkingheck
Sniffetysnuff on a vulpera

Not exactly what u asked for but those just popped into my head

Most of my chars have dumb/edgy/provocative/funny names.
Many of them are food related.

= can’t help you with suggestions.

I nearly always use proper fantasy names. Only very rarely I have chosen some edgy name or a joke name.

All of these names have gotten banned cause they aren’t rp friendly :slight_smile:

My suggestion is try to avoid naming your characters similarly, especially using special letters, 'cause I personally find it annoying to have all your characters named the same, but that said - it’s up to the person.
What I usually suggest is to try and name your characters with a proper fantasy name and bonus points if you keep up with the style of the race.
Good example:

Likewise, nicknames are fine too, but nothing too edgy or immature.

You might have tried those for a paladin but they might help if not!

Back in the day I was called Littlebugga on priest, then I made Bugga(warrior) Buggar(rogue) Buggah(hunter) Dirtybugga (druid) Bugguh (dk) Lilbugga (mage). But then I changed some of my names by contacting blizzard and the names weren’t in use. So now I have, Orange, Banana, Melon, Strawberry, Cow. There some of the better ones. I really wanted Panda but couldn’t get it. More recently some of my alliance names are part of my last name irl, Gled, Gleds, Gledeth, Gleddy, Gledoc. Haha I dunno, sometimes I just make random names up on new characters too and when they all get declined I end up with Poostick. Somehow…

Oh, guys you helped a lot, thank you very much! :grinning: I thought people wont be interested in this topic. Good day for everyone, and again thanks for the lot of help I have many ideas now! :slight_smile:

I just take the name of my first pet and the street I grew up on…

Wait, that might be for something else.

Better way is to fill a gnome with alphabetispaghetti then hang it up like a piñata, and hit on it until 6-10 letters fall to the ground!

I used to do very different and very immersive names for my characters in MMOs. Now I just add vowels, x, something like ‘‘é’’ or whatever to my usual name and call it a day.

Normally the first thing I see around me

just use wow name generator page like wow rpers use …

You can blend words, like my name: Serluma = Serenity+Luminosity
Or you can use google translation: my alt’s name is coryza (frost mage)= cold, flu in Latin
You can also use them together, blending words from other languages as long as it sounds fine.

I hate it when guildies use the same name with different accents - it’s a huge pain if I need to mail them something and can’t remember which type of i is used in their main’s name…

So that my name is recognizable to my guildies and friends, my alts are mostly Cera-somethings. I have a bunch of alts who were named before I created my first Ceran, they are mostly named after my cats (like Haggarouse for my cat Haggis and Brucelette for my cat Bruce. Poor Mr Tiggs doesn’t have a character named after him, yet…)

Give your characters a background story; this is an RPG after all - think about who they are, what they do… and look up names that fit with that in another language or even only on a webpage that explains the meaning of normal names. :slight_smile:

Some of them are themed… like, Alewín, Lilwin, Aruwin, Eruwan… but then there’s Xenli, Bríghtmoon and Fighty and I have no idea any more.

Depends on my mood.
Either:
1 - Pick a fantasty sounding name like Haldaenor, Kazaer, Tymorah, Kazaer, Amathirya.
2 - Something regular like December, Anonymous, Agonist, Icognito, Girl.
3 - Merging of two things like Nightstorm, Moonbeam, Blackbird, Starwing, Sunspark, Silverfox.
4 - Random like Ef, Plock, Pawdawan, Dohnut, Qo.
5 - Named after “famous” people sometimes with a slight alteration, Pixie, Bree, Kyli, Asha, Sinead, Tanita.
