My favorite name of all time:

Bxqqc (Unicorn)

yurik (Unicorn) MNK/19 WAR/9 -- Windurst

Harsh man, harsh.

I like bukkake stuff. :( I'm a perv though

Actually it's a character name from the Icewind Dale novels written by R.A. Salvatore which are based on Forgotten Realms (a D&D universe) It's equivilent to naming your character Legolas or Aragorn.


Urine (yes, I actually saw that)

Any DBZ character name

This thread reminded me of a certain Penny Arcade strip.

First off...I died laughing at some of those names in the earlier posts, "EnormousFoliage" for one. Funny names like that would not be a style of my choice, however, to each their own. It's a game. The ones I personally do not approve of are the sexually explicit/plainly immature ones. Even the unoriginal ones shouldn't be a big issue as some of you have pointed out. They pay for the game, let them play as they wish.

On Bahamut server there are a few, such as a Taru in Windy named Coffeeshop. He is usually sitting outside the Mog House selling food (no coffee tho, alas).

There is also a char in and around Windy (race unknown) called Bondsavingsbond. I actually laughed out loud.

I have also seen Wiccanscorned. Tried to /tell that one how cool that name is, but never got an answer.


At least a few people have some creativity lol :)

I was actualy named Spoonsy on EQ for a little while.

I've seen:

Lookatme (Taru)
Meowmix (Mithra)
Ugly (Galka)
Gonnagitcha (Elvaan)
Wow (Taru)
Eek (Taru)
Eatme (Again, Taru)

This thread brings up a great point. A lot of people treat the MMORPG as if the letters R, P and G (that, by the way stand for Role Playing Game) do bnot stand for anything at all and the entire game is nothing more then some extremely turn/click based medieval version of Quake.



It all begins, of course, with the choice of a character name.

When it comes to any sort of MMORPG, I am a big advocate of "You don't have to keep it in-character! Just keep it in-genre" rule. In my opinion when playing a MMORPG one should pick a name fitting the genre/flavor/style of the game.

For example, I am a big fan of Tarutaru characters named after food objects (i.e. Marzipan, Moonpie, Dimsum, Kebab, etc.) and synonyms or antonyms to the word "small" (i.e. "Speck", "Tiny", "Trouncer", etc.) because that simply makes sense. Tarutaru are all about being cute. Their appearance, culture, NPC-delivered dialogue is one nauseating hiccup short of adorable (which is extremely fine with me, as I, myself, am a huge connoisseur of "cute").

In an ideal world we would all be playing in the company of mature, friendly, in-character-acting, genre-upholding, level-headed people. In reality we play with 12-year-olds :D

So here are a few "choice" names I have seen while running around Sylph.

1. "Jimbobsonofgod" ~ He constantly whines that people hardly ever /tell him party invites. I wonder why...

2. "Nestea" ~ After joining our party he was immediately dubbed "Sir Lipton, the Earl of Grey".

3. "Potsmoker" ~ Sad thing is, he was actually taking his name seriously and was out-of-character offended when was told that his name appeared funny to someone.

4. "Clap" ~ This poor and misguided Elvaan player was promptly dubbed "Master Crabs".

5. "Nekedkitty" ~ What a wonderful way to name one's alternative walking bazaar of a character. This aptly named and nearly nude mithra was selling three chunks of Rock salt and 1 (one!!!) Iron Arrow for 800 Gil each. Somehow I think that the time and creativity poured into the name as well as the extra money spent monthly on this character have gone to waste.

6. "Zilart" ~ I was surprised that the system allowed for such a name to be used in the game to begin with. But even still... Maybe I am too cynical but from where I stand this name seems to belong to the realm of supreme in creativity rather then cleverness.

7. "Dathug" and his inbred kissing cousin "Daplaya" ~ If there is a better way to scream out "I'm a prime example of the retarded rejects of teenage society", I am yet to find it.

8. "Rphater" ~ That means Role Player Hater. In other words, this little fellow has a chip on his shoulder the size of a Grand National Debt and it has the dreaded Role Player vermin written all over it! How dare they come into his private resort of prepubescent 'leet pt lvling' and begging random people for gil with their silly character personas and in-genre talk!!! I mean what is this, some weak/gay role playing game?!

-- And, for the Grand Finale, the proverbial Cake Taker --

9. "*****" the Tarutaru ~ Poor Japanese player thought people would read and/or pronounce his chosen name as [fekaes]. Boy was -he- in for a surprise! Jokingly, I named a few other "Good American words" for him to choose a possible alternative character name from. The one that appealed to him the most was "Prostate"...

Tune in next week when we shall discuss --= Top Nine Most Ridiculous Linkshell Guild Names! =--

Yours humbly,
Jorgevorg

I'm genuinly suprised I haven't seen "asdf"!!!

On Bismarck:

Yes, the infamous "Drizzt"

"Titanicwarrior" (galka) followed faithfully by "Insanemage" (tarutaru)

I have also seen something like "Imahomo"

"Lordkefka"
"Snake"
"Liquidsnake"
"Pliskin"
"Brock" (pokemon... was a summoner)
"Notagirl"
"Housemaid"
"Kamasutra"
"Cheapcrystals" (this ******* had a bazaar in jueno, selling crystals for friggin 200 per PLUS the tax!)

"Tehjew"
"Ninjew" (a ninja)

At any given time there are about 5 players on with a name that starts as "Dark" something. (/search all dark)

Likewise, at any given time there are 2-3 people on with a name that starts with "Light." (/search all light)

Furthermore, at any given time there will be at least someone on that has "Dragon" at the beginning of their name. (/search all dragon)

"Lockee"
"Nolocke" (although this may not be intended to be read as "No Locke"....if not, then its a perfectly good name and I rather like it)

"Reallocke"

"Money"
"Virgin"
"Love"
"Thepoweroflove"
"Stoned"
"Fquwgads" (I probably didnt spell it right, but they did. Its from www.homestarrunner.com and while I was grouped with them they were singing "Everybody to the limit")

"Doom"
"Evil"
"Evilprincess"
"Princeofevil"
"Laharal" (Taken from a game, Disgaea (sp?), recent, similiar to FFtactics)

"Bilbo"
"Lordbilbo"



I cant think of anymore at the moment.

In short, Bismarck server is flood with a plethora of retarded names and an equally amount of retarded people. Why oh why did the person who started me on this game, have to end up on this server.

Over and out~

Well, lets not forget about Mrffxi hanging out 24/7 in Bastok Markets near the residental area on Sylph. He's been kneeling there ever since. And oh boy it sure is creepy once he's NOT kneeling there. Feels like something major is about to happen, like when you travel through the marshlands and its NOT raining.

on my way to log at moghouse lastnight a saw a Hume named "Item"

how very inspiring. >:|

Galka named:
Tarueater lol



..another favorite of mine for some reason is a BLM Tarutaru named Kaboom. That's so cute <^_^>



I saw somome before named Mule. nice

The oddest I think so far is my co-workers g/f...

Shadosmilodon...

..her b/f btw is Shadohawk.. and another co-worker is Shadodragon... They wanted me to follow this naming convention..(would have been neat {the Shado-gang}) but I needed to get Kelvyquayo in there.
