The discussion of names got me thinking about which names I've liked most on the server.

What appealed to me about these names is that they not only sound cool, but somehow seem like -the- fitting name for the character; almost as if any other name just wouldn't have been right. However, I had very limited IG experience with most of the characters on the list.

In no particular order:

Contego Ferrington Barrister Fawkes (btw would you say it like rhymes with "hawks" or like "fawk-eez") Julian Fryar

I"m sure that I'm forgetting a bunch. I also left off the names of some characters that are still alive. I encourage others to post names that they have liked.

Squeagle.

Two-Tooth Zaracov.

Orison Hallafat.

Oh! And-

Gideon Sloane

-H'rafn

-Terio Menthur

-T'ssirithra Zau Mournrahel

-Imnan Chaimledel

-Jarai Dhaan

-Kahryi Il-Pasher

Alexander Archibald.

Class to match the character. It's like a Cadillac in my mouth.

Guilty pleasures: Siolas Moonshadow, Auvreacal, Earas Nightstar.

Edit: PHILIP MEET

I was going to put Wiggy's elf, but couldn't remember the name!

- Auvreacal

KODAX.

For the boys: Laramie Lathae.

For the girls: Vibernum Blackhaw.

And sorry, but no, no names can match the awesome that is Laramie Lathae-or L.L., as he is fondly remembered.

Mmgh.

-Zerelde -Majre Nogueyra, or, rather, "Queequeg" -Squeagle -Mordur Onyxadze

And more to come!

Gruff!

Edit - And who could forget Benito Delgado. Even the name feels strange and menacing...

Zau's last name was pretty pwn, kudos prestonhunt/Mag.

Mournrahel, just say it. S'very nice!

I'd say Delgado for the side of the law. It just sounds like a badass guy who will reach down your throat and pull out your intestines.

For the lawless, I'd say Winston.

For a guy who is a hardcore badass *spoiler*, he has a name that depicts tea-sipping. Very cool. Very "Boy named sue". I'm sure if someone made fun of his name, Winston would own them.

Varlam Nikitovich, just screams hermit scholar

Bungo Taddle

I remember a name from my early days here at EfU and remember the character to have made a quite the impression on myself. Never interacted with him, but from the first sight he intimidated and intrigued me.

- Nsi N'Kalau

(Please correct me, because I can't be sure to remember the correct spelling)

That's correct, it was Nsi! (an excellent name.) His surname was N'Kalou. This thread kind of worries me... but I guess I won't lock it.

I'd have to say that Lance Lathain the Gunslinger is probably the best name I've ever seen in all my time here playing EfU.

<Halfbrood|AmRickJamesBitch> Someone put Lance Lathain, the Gunslinger for BEST NAME EVER.

SNOG'ROG GRU'TIILE

-Aleister Bleith

-Mormont Baelister

-Vondreaval

-Isarna

-Kara

One among the living that doesnt necessarily needs any more ego boosts but oh well: -Ferius Worn

Spanish or portuguese sounding names dont work for me, for obvious reasons.

Gnarled Bat. I always wished he'd have called himself this, instead of Thom. :( :( :(

EDIT:

BOCHO.

wcsherry Gnarled Bat. I always wished he'd have called himself this, instead of Thom. :( :( :(

Grandpa! How could I forget Gnarled Bat Knickerson. That last name was a perfect fit.

- Bug

- Nipiix Ratcarver

- Mxarob Darkscale

Again, Gnarled Bat Knickerson. I can't look at that porait with the dirty, grumpy old bald guy without giggling a little.

erglion

Barrister Fawkes (btw would you say it like rhymes with "hawks" or like "fawk-eez")

Rhymes with hawks. The original incarnation of Fawkes was as a servant for a mysterious master and he created a cadre of adventurers called Fawkes Hawks.

Fawkes Hawks - ASSEMBLE!

Mbizi!

Dicho!

It conjures fond memories of the most annoying mage ever to grace EfU.

When I first joined the server one of the first folks I met was a half-orc named KROOP.

It was just one of those non-sensical names that was easy to remember and stuck in your head.

Tarnis, totaly :)

He was one of the more remembered characters, always liked him :)

Mind you - this is about the names, not characters themselves.

Where's the love for Tommy Ten-irons?

Humphrey the goblin. Seriously. Humphrey! Who couldn't approve of that? And another vote for Gnarled Bat Knickerson too <_<

Tommy Feckin' Ten-Irons

Aleister Bleith

I'm probably leaving a few out. I'll include them when I think of them.

I always liked the way that Baracuul's name sounded. Baracuul Barracus (sp?) Mmmm.

Gur

or

Treebones

I kind of like

Steal Anyting

Mandarin Dreagle has a sinister air to it, I always thought.

Again, the greatest tradgedy of the server was Gnarled Bat Knickerson calling himself Thom. Good night, Sweet Prince.

Tommy Ten-Irons rocked.

-DD

Anybody with the last name 'Ilphukiir'.

Kotenku just laughs and goes "Illphuckher" <_<

lol, I'd never considered that particular phonetical pronunciation of his name. It came from the NWN random name generator!

Michael de la Rey Francesca Den Waerkeyt Krushen Yellowfang Gaerkerf Rubyson

That's right. Coldburn spent hours coming up with names like those. In fact, he's used the same name in three different RP servers!

Valentino Agustine.

I liked the name Maeturorant Gorthaurca. I actually spent time to remember his name, as should be for elven heh.

Ganden Mekros (sp?)

Every named NPC quest 'boss'.

I am obligated by character marriage to say "Jenner"

:P

However-- I have always been a fan of nice simple names that sound like the attitude of the character-

Bo Clover Bern (yes-- I know- Vibernum - but who can spell that correctly when its 3am in the morning-- and the quest just won't end-- and everyones red eyed, tired, grouchy, and just wants to get it over with-- so we can all get to bed?)

Tommy Ten-Iron's== good name-- nice, simple, and fits the hulking brute persona.

Not a big fan of long names that are almost impossible to spell. You get nicknames--

Amywieng-- always trying to spell it "Amyweing"-- so you get shortened to Amy. :P

Heck-- even Tagnar got nicknamed "Stoney" cause I kept switching the G and the N.

And yes-- the orriginal name for Ferdinand was Fen Fen, and it wasn't until someone pointed out that Fen Fen was the nickname of a weightloss drug that killed a bunch of people that I changed it to Ferdinand. (I was also told that Fen Fen is a "just for fun" name best not used -- destroys the suspension of disbelief)

I like the really ingenious names- but there again-- too many apostrophe's, and I am sure to figure out some other way to name you.

And I will just keep calling him Elym. Cause Asclepius keeps getting spelled "Asleepus". Only did that once. Sorry, mate.

^_^

Actually, Fedinand was pretty good. It was that good, that I wanted to RP just by the first meeting :)

My Vote has to go to Valerius. You could'nt move in lower without hearing that name getting thrown about.
