Help with Idea..Sounds initially geeky, but when revealed, will be fun..

[MacroGuru]

Alright,

I am needing some help for an idea I have come up with that I will release here soon that I think almost everyone will enjoy....

So for this, still scratch your heads, wonder how crazy or idiotic I am, but please, be somewhat serious in your answers.

Some of us were/are geeks, play(ed) some fantasty based role-playing game. One of my favorite parts of role playing was character creation and naming my characters.

What I am looking or help in is the following: Naming some specific character types....


Dwarven War Priest
Human Ranger
Human Thief
Human Wizard
Human Priest
Halfling Cook
Elf Noble
Ork Warrior

I am going to take the names I feel are the best, and I might create a poll if there are a few different ones, but the take away from this, should be interesting...

Thanks all!

I just need help coming up with names for the specific character types I have listed, thats it...

It's for a project I am working on.

[Fidatelo]

I still don't get it. Am I naming different archetypes that aren't currently listed, like Elf Druid?

Or am I giving Dwarven War Priest some kind of 'term', like ork warrior being called "Uruk'Hai"?

Or am I literally supplying names for characters that might be of that mold, so like "my Dwarven War Priest is named Steve."?

Ah ok....

Sorry if I wasn't clear....

literally supplying names for characters...

ie. Dwarven War Priest is Thargin Battlehammer

[Fidatelo]

I like Steve better than Thargin, but I guess this is your game.

I always enjoyed character creation, but hated the naming part. Most of my group was the same way. We tended to have fighters named "Fighter 1" and "Fighter 2".

I like "Steve" too, but think he should be the cook.

+1

I once created a cleric named "Church Giver". I am still mocked about that one.

Other names that friends have used for characters include Manny Pulator
and E. Normis Johnson.

Ah good, got my chuckle for the day in.

[gstelmack]

See, back when I had this problem (although it was naming planets for Traveller), I just wrote a name generation routine. It basically went something like:

Do vowel or consonant?
Do one or two?
Pick random vowel / consonants as appropriate
Do again?

I'd do it something like 2-8 times, with an emphasis on 3-6, and end up with some really cool completely random pronouncable names.

But then I'm actually a geek, not the pretenders that you guys are actually coming up with them in your head...

I think I've mentioned it before, but screen name here is actually created in a similar fashion. It went:

1) Mash keyboard
2) Add vowels in between consonants that are side-by-side

You need a character in there named Rath, as well.

I can't be the only person that grinds their teeth when people don't name their characters or use stupid names - (Like naming a Female Barbarian Tig Bitties)

Stupid geeky pet peeve... I know.
