Names for RPG Characters

[temp100]

I think most of you know the situation when you're trying to create a party or even one character in a game and you're sitting there trying to think of some good names for them. You often end up giving them boring names because you can't think of any?

This problem is particularly prevalent in RPG games, so let this be a thread for the sharing of character names...

Here's (http://www.angelfire.com/tx/afira/fantasymfull.html) a page of fantasy names for characters.

And here are some of my more liked names.

Shiva & Tanthalas (good for an archer / ranger)
Scintilla (great for a female thief, particularly an assassin)
Siblyx (another good thief name)
Phineas (good for a druid/cleric)
Atolocus & Lothar (good for knights)
Barl (good for an evil fighter)
Conan & Bartok (good for fighters in general)
Grishnak (orc warrior)
Lucien (a mage... or a vampire - guess where that came from :D )
Dorilietes
Dranzin


Like I said before, just post some names that you think are good for RPG characters - better still if you can fit them to a class/alignment (and hopefully sex too. :D)

You're probably a crude powergamer who doesn't care for the actual atmosphere or roleplaying aspects of an RPG. Hence, names are irrelevant to you. ;)

Anyway, thanks for the links/names so far - they're good.

We should sticky this, because I'm awful at coming up with names. I hate it especially when you're trying to think of one for an MMO, because you sit there for five minutes until you think of a name - only, of course, to find that someone else has already taken it (because by the time you get there, ALL good names are taken)

[Daucus Karota]

Balbo Boffin(Halfing/Hobbit):D

[xeoset]

I suck at naming stuff, so I just use names from other RPGs I play.

Hell, this handle is from Xeoset of Summoner 2, a really underrated RPG for the PS2. Turns out other people use it aswell though, there's a Xeo and Xeoset on GameFAQ and neither are me. Cunts.

Thanks for the link Entropy - I'm finding some good mage names. It's a shame they're all Anglo-Saxon though.

I used to play FFXI online and I must've ran into virtually every permutation of the name 'Sephiroth'. Be original, damnit!

[Fungus Amungus]

I have this huge medical book of tropical diseases and some of them have kick ass names. For example, Typhus, Kuru, Naxos, Kyphosis etc.
