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.
