Post by **Doron** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 12:53 am

at least I have a original name which most people can pronounce..
Icealya. is that so hard to understand?
I also have a Kaolla (love Hina)
and some Juroshiahs, Iceacyclya's, IceAngels and others hanging around... but more then that.. neh...
my Pig is called Mourita and my Wolf Yue(chinese for moon, like in Card Captor Sakura). where I got Mourita from is a riddle even to me, I just thought of it and liked it..

While that can be admirable, why spend only half a second thinking up the stupid names that flood the environment? Yesterday I spotted at least three different spellings of Arwen in town at the same time!

Other very un-original names ive spotted include.
Lord of the Rings characters (Gandalf being particularly popular)
Popular Comic characters (Not for minor characters like Ice Man or the such, but Spiderman and Superman are pretty popular).

Its bad enough stealing the name, but when you are desperate enough to get the name so that you have to spell it out as S_P_I_D_E_R_MAN that really makes me cry.

I usually give my char original names but I have a char named Hecates which is named after the Greek goddess of magic and darkness

As an Alfista till death (and even longer) I had no other choice than Quadrifoglio but there's always a but. But I chose a female character, so I translated it. My wolf is called Quadrifoglio anyway

Agreed.

Compared to that, most other names are an improvement.

Commercial product names, like "Xbox360".

Build names that don't fit your build, like "SuperBlader" on a S/S nuker.
Build names that do fit your build, like "SuperNuker" on a S/S nuker.
Names that aren't names; "SuperBlader", "Thief", or "Xbox360".
Names in alternate caps, like "SuPeRbLaDeR".
Names in all caps, like "SUPERBLADER".
Names in all caps, with underscores in between, like "S_U_P_E_R_B_L_A_D_E_R".
Names that aren't capitalized, like "superblader".
Names with numbers after them, like "SuperBlader94".
Names with that straight-edge crap, like "xSuperBladerx".
Names with even more stupid straight-edge crap, like "xXSuperBladerXx".
And of course, names like "dghaslkgs".

Pretty much, the only names that I do like are ones that are capitalized, relatively short, unique names that aren't distracting.

For a gaming name you want something in the middle. Not to fantasy like

KNIGHTWARRIOR21343

Or

Jeffrey835

I like things in the middle.

Started with HeartbreaK

Now Ive made a female str bow called 'LadySorrow'

(Greece)Ukrais · Post by **(Greece)Ukrais** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 5:59 am

Bah! dont even get me started on names!

My names are all original, and dont use any numbers whatsoever!

Names i used:

Ukrais - my favorite and most original name i know of.

BloodArtist - probably used somewhere, but not in greece!

Daniroth - Danijel (my real name) + sephiroth = Daniroth

The guild im in is called DivineRage, so the guildmaster gave me a great Alias, DivineMage

There are many names out there, some arent creative, but some are just funny enough to let it slide.

for one example, AnalSurprise, that makes me giggle!

I hate names with numbers because that usually means that you are not originall. EX: Bob43 - because there are a bilion bobs out there.

the A_B_V_D_C_E type make me sick, they are too big and fugly!

and of course, i hate ANY names with random letters/numbers.

EX: asdfljksd, lkejjfd, DDEdkdhE, AbCdE, 123kkl2, and so on and so forth.

Yay to me for getting an original name then I guess? Just dont like it when people like shortening it to Chrom or Chromi >.<

*Hate people who have loads of underscores in their names. 1 max people!*

fight4Love ftw!my friend uses this name when we play dota, it annoys me so much that know i made a char using this name.lol

this name has a number but i think it's somewhat cool. lol but that's just me..

SatanHimself-stall char. i made this char last dec. then deleted it on jan. when i decided to create it again last april, the name was taken so i made it by replacing the small L with I. i still feel bad, i shouldn't hav deleted it in the first place. i used the chinese male char model whose face looks like this-> :twisted:

If number is in middle of name and it actually means something like in your case 4(for), then it's ok. It's not like Angel123354

My IGN name also contains number - Refuse2Die, I think it's great name for s/s tanker

And I guess you are with name like people dislike here?

Seriously, If someone with name like xXDgl__XxxD asks me something I even don't like to answer, cause what kind of idiot would use names like that?
And i got feeling like I am talking to 10 years old kiddies.

An to people who want to use name at any cost and puts like G_O_D_, that's just pathetic and sad, that person can't think of something original

Some people really lack imagination, but I can't be bothered really.

Perhaps because I'm guilty for breaking one of the name rules myself:

Cruor wrote:Build names that don't fit your build, like "SuperBlader" on a S/S nuker.

My characters name, Yumiya, means literally 'bow and arrow', while it's a STR Blader.

But barely anyone knows. HAHAHA.

Some anime fans like to take names of animes..

i had that red skinned blonde called Kaolla, from love hina,
and you can call pets after Fruits Basket characters.
like the pig - Kagura, the girl who is the pig.
the monkey - Ritsu, the unlucky insecure she male
or the bunny, my favourite of Fruits Basket, - Momiji, that boy that looks like a 10 year old girl that is a 14 year old buy who likes to wear girls clothes in a boy way with strange hats...
and your wolf - fcorse, Shigure.
or Inu/yasha)

but those anime names, if they are unused yet, they look great! at east with no _'s in it or a number..

I'm not sure you understand the purpose of this forum. People come here and discuss relatively meaningless crap about SRO and often use hyperbole. People comment, joke and feign irritation at various elements of the game. Rarely are people actually "mad." When they say that, what they're usually doing is just making a simple judgment about something they really aren't all that worked up about. Not really a big deal.

This forum is more productive and enjoyable when people who "couldn't give two shits about" the topic of a certain thread just ignore it instead of making a patronizing comment about everyone who posted in that particular thread. If you wanted to stay on topic, without being patronizing, you could have said "I'm not really bothered by anyone's ign" and left it at that.

Then maybe you could have started a new thread about how everyone here "gets mad at the stupidest stuff" and see how that goes.
