When playing an MMO, or even say just a few rounds of CS or PS or DoD... nothing IRKS the shnit out of me, then unoriginal names.

Lets see, the top of the list are:

Literary Characters like Gandalf, or Polgara for magic users, Strider is the most annoyng rnager name in any fantasy game, period.

Or video game or movvie characters are also annoying as heck. Max Payne playing CS is a perfect example.

Hammer or any variation is also as lame as one can get. ;)

So please, make fun of people that use lame unoriginal names, they deserve it.

Love the people who just add a random number string after a name that's already taken.
Nothing warms the heart like seeing Diablo63527 in the same room as Diablo63524 and 6

lol ya one of the names I play with online is Halbrad Its a derivative of an elf from the lord of the rings, just a blurb character, noone has ever gotten where it comes from. The origional name is Halbarad. The only problem with that name is that everyone calls me brad. . . . . . . . . .


As for the gandalfs/neos/striders/frodos/legolas/ bull just grow a brain guys.

And, alas, Ive seen at LEAST 4 VS 'MuffinMen' running around. That sucks.

I use Okinuruu for most game names.

Dharkbayne
2004-02-22, 04:14 PM
Another one I see all the time are the names from Anime "Goku" "Vegeta" "Gohan" ect.

And "VashTheStamped" is just retarded. :love: Vash.

I cant wait to see all the variations of "Legolas" in World of Warcraft.

Rayder
2004-02-22, 05:03 PM
I havn't seen any Gimlis or Aragorns. I have seen a couple Breunors though in RPGs, but the idiots that use the name don't even follow what he's suppposed to be. I mean, if you're going to use a name from a book or a movie, you have to make them just like that character as much as you can. Oh, and don't even mention the number of Drizzts I've seen.

Killa is original...right? ;)

I've tried signing up on some places like message boards to find out that my nick has been taken, but it's not that uncommon. In Vietnam, the guy who worked the flak cannon was known as a flak man.

I remeber in everquest on every server there was a drizzit, drizit, drezzit drezit, drezat, drizzizle foshizzle, etc

Mine is original, you will occassionly see a Biohazard but no one with 2 Zs and a 56 :brow:

and i totally agree with you Dhark, about people with the names of anime charaectars

nothing i hate more than people who substitute numbers for letters when their name is taken

2004-02-22, 08:09 PM
Nothing I hate more than people with plain names who just add numbers to the end of them.

The names I most commonly use are Derfud, and Svordjik. Usually Svordjik if I am playing an RPG, because it sounds like a norse name. Plus I created both myself. :D

my name is original, im always on the prowl for thinking up new names

i created a new PS character called Caanan, and i think thats pretty original

I will sometimes base a name off a fantasy name but not very often. My 60 Shaman in EQ went through life as "Galarion" (which is due to piss poor foresight on my part since that naturally translates into "Gal" for short which caused untold amounts of confusion), a bastardized version of "Garion" from the Belgariad and the Mallorean. Not once did anyone know what it was based off of until I they asked and I told them. If you want to use a character from a major literary work, please please please mutilate it.


Oh I also had a Troll Shadowknight named "Shadarlogothin Dorfskamusher" but that was a very seldom played alt and really namiung him that was more for my own personal entertainment since having
"Shadarlogothin Dorfskamusher <Bloodsong>"
amused me and I knew that particular character was never really going to go anywhere.

I did see a "Drizzzt" on Lanys once while running through Shadowhaven. I wasn't really sure if I should yell at him, laugh at him, find him and beat him or possibly all of the above. He logged by the time I finally decided to just yell at him for awhile :(

hey, i tried to be original with this name, but im not that creative, when it comes to names im just like... :doh:

Well, like I said before, if you're going to use a commonly known character name, make sure you play that character to fit the way the actual one would. For instance, if you make Drizzt in an RPG, make sure you're a Drow, wielding dual scimitars (one with electrical damage and one with something else) bracers of speed or something, white hair and pink eye, and own.

When I played EQ I was Veldera Darkheart, or Velderia RabidWolf.

For SWG I have Kralif Karzine and Velderia Wolf

For DAoC I was Billard. and had a Cleric named Billa Bong to be silly.

My name is pwnd cuz it has numbers after it :( .
No seriously they have a meaning. 24- Jeff Gordon's number and 31 is robby gordon's number. Both are my 2 favorite NASCAR drivers, although I'm not into having a favorite intensely like some people, since I bet on the races. Anyways back on topic...

I have no clue how i thought of my KiKiNCHiKiN name. I know i first used it at laserquest as a codename, i think cuz my friends and I were just making random crap up and I saw a chicken commercial.

As for the morpheus and neo names. I have one of each in my PS outfit. Neo5 and Morpheius.

Sentrosi
2004-02-22, 10:48 PM
Yeah, I love my name. Suits me to a T. And I am not about to bastardize this name because of what the name means. It means Fire Demon.

I know there's another Sentrosi though. He's on Markov.

I hate it when I get random /tell's from people asking me if I am on Midgaard or Ragnorock. While I know what these places mean in a literary sense, I have no idea where they're from in a MMORPG world.

My other characters are MordSithCara, Vasi and BuddyKristos. Not original in the least. I don't care either.

AztecWarrior
2004-02-22, 10:56 PM
"AztecWarrior" is an uncommon name. I've Yahoo!'d it and found some guy's web page. "AztecWarrior" on AIM is taken- and it's the only service where it was taken. In B.net, PlanetSide, and others this name is unique- and mine.

There are but three phonies:
1: I do not have a web page. Some "Aztec Warrior" does.
2: My AIM handle is "AztecWarrior045". "AztecWarrior" is someone with a pink profile.
3: I do not collect lightbulbs. :D

In flight sims I go by "KrazyIvan" and in racing games (I don't play any anymore) I go by SilverBullitt. That's all, folks.

My name's about as original as you get, pulled from the fiery depths of a random name generator in a MUD I played for years. It works for pretty much everything too.

Kuraltai
2004-02-23, 04:04 AM
My name is somewhat unique .. even thought I had created a word. I needed a name for my evil character in an online game I played several years ago. I came up with this as a sound-alike for cruelty .. only to find out it's actually a Mongol word for the assembly of Mongol leaders. Who'd of thunk it. :p

/edit: Egads Kuraltai is old .. been around for 'bout 13 years! :eek:

Drizzt does not have pink eye. Pink eye is a medical condition. Drizzt also does not have pink colored eyes. Drizzt has lavendar eyes known more commonly as the color purple.

And no, that's almost worse than naming a gnome necro "Drizzt". Don't try to be the character from the book, just don't :p

LIES! We all saw you! ;)


I'm not sure weather my name is original or not. I based it on Ein from cowboy bebop, added a "bebop" at the end, and put in an extra "e" because I cant fsking spell. I guess if you look at it mechanicaly, it isn't very original. But Im so freaking l33t that nobody cares.
