Generate a Cool Name for your MMO Character

February 12, 2008 · Filed Under General, MMOments, Musings, Online

How many times have you met either a noob, or a nuisance character named ^^{{jam345}}^^ or something to that extent? Isn’t it annoying?

For some people, especially the “purist” gamers who are into “role-playing”, they’re bothered by common and lame names devoid of creativity.

If you’re stuck without a name for your MMORPG character, don’t worry, help is here. I’m going to show you several online tools which you can use to create a name worthy of a Bard’s poem.

After the jump…

Online Name Generators

Seventh Sanctum - create names for dwarves, dark elves or even (my favorite) Evil Names if you want to play the part.
Philip Riley also has a collection of name generators for such things as Asian, Fantasy, North American or even middle east
If you want a cool name for standard (or even non-standard) fantasy racial types (such as Drow), you can use this one from Dire Press.
Can’t decide on what to name your guild? This tool can help. Here are some samples
You can also do a Google for Baby Names and see what you can find. There are interesting backgrounds and origins of each name.
Sometimes, I also try and select a nice Bible-based name if I’m in the mood for it.

So now, you know “what’s in a name”. Next time you meet that dude with random special characters for a name, do him a favor and share these tools with him (or her).

Hope this helps.

those names with special characters are not just annoying but also hard to PM (give a private message) especially if you want to trade with them. -.-

One way to use a name you like but is already taken, you can add an epithet, example Eric-the-Red.

na-try ko na at ok lang

I used to have characters with special character only names (when allowed). Keeps those pesky beggers away from PM-ing you. Just remember to add people to your friends list so they can PM you or at least teach them how to type your name right.

sorry to say, I didn’t like the names being generated by Evil Name Generator. So common and so, well, common

Once you have a name you like, stay with it - especially if it’s not very common. I have kept some of my names for decades.
