/On topic:
My current playthrough of Pokemon has me named Badassery and my male rival named Sally.
Usually I just stick with different variations of my alter ego but Kuras and T.K. are by far my favorites.
I swear I've seen that exact name on our CoD2 1.0 server...Threx said:
Ziadaine I came up with on my own while I was writing novels.
Zero (My Steam DN) Is my Clan name I use
Miles is my Admin name on a CoD2 server which sadly Was given to me, but all the other admins still refer to me as Tim.
and Dark Aura was something I thought up... until it was pointed out its used in KH2.

We have, and it's arranged so that pretty much everything is at 90 degree angles.cblrtopas said:
Excuse me for sharing something personal though, this thread was talking about what names we choose for game characters and the reasons behind that, I thought I would post my usual choice and then elaborate on the reasons behind it to help contribute to this thread, I guess I was wrong.
I pretty much just think what names might fit the context, maybe wiki here and there to see the name styles of the game world, and derive something from there.
Or when I'm out of ideas, I do something simple, like get the name from the class + race.
My Tauren Death Knight for example was called Deren. I doubt that anyone would guess where it was derived from.

I dislike dumb people. Especially dumb people who ruin perfectly innocuous, lighthearted threads.w@rew0lf said:
I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but judging from the recent threads, there's a competition between developers? Anyway, too bad the OP can't remove posts.
But seriously? That's a horribly ill-conceived, not-at-all-subtle tactic. They're only hurting Valve's chances.
On a side note, I'm having difficulty keeping myself from exploding into a tirade calling for violence against this guy. It is difficult.
The Valve supporters got desperate so they called for help from /v/ and /b/. Again. Last time the trolls didn't leave that thread though. But that still doesn't change the stupidity of doing it.J. Reed said:

Tai is also a name I like using for the characters.
Usually just make things up, with gamertags, though I usually just add numbers onto existing things.
That or something really juvenile, though thats usually on 2nd playthrough of a game or some small game that wont take too long

You're not wrong for elaborating. I encourage verbosity wherever possible. Thank you for sharing your reasoning behind the names.Pandora92 said:We have, and it's arranged so that pretty much everything is at 90 degree angles.cblrtopas said:

If it makes you feel any better, I count the edges of things. Like, a rectangular window for example. With my eyes, I trace the left edge up, then right, then down, then left. One, two, three, four. If that makes any sense. I do it ALL THE TIME.
It's not as serious as yours, but it's still an annoying compulsion.
My dog in DA:O is named Wrex after the awesomest character in Mass Effect.IdealistCommi said:
Dog-Fable-Lyle: sounds cool for a british evil dog
Main Char Fallout: Pyro
Everyother char: named after me.
I name all my characters Toran, just a habit I've gotten into. Unless they were designed for a specific purpose, for example I had an oblivion character who just ran fast, jumped high and punched people. His name was Artemis Physt.
Pets in any game are named 'puddles', mostly because it's hillarious to see a pet with such a harmless name ripping things to shreads. Unless the pet IS harmless, in which case they are 'the Destructor'.
