Naming?

[Acky]

Do you name your characters? What about your creations? Do they have any meaning? etc etc

 

All my warriors are named Ackrovan, because thats my favorite class and, well, the next parts obvious. I always have my first fyora named toothpick.

[pitchblack]

My name, usually something that sounds appropriately fantasy-like to me.

 

However, I usually name all my creations and stick with the names throughout the game. My original Fyora is Fyona, and by the time I get to drayks, I'm usually at Fyona IV or V. Same for battle (Usually Thug) and Magic (No set name here).

[Feo Takahari]

My fyora is always "Scales." My character keeps whatever the default name is for the class I'm playing. I've never made any creations other than a fyora, so I've never had to consider, say, calling an artila "Wormy."

[Alorael at Large]

Naming creations is the first step towards treating them like valuable individuals instead of resources.

 

—Alorael, who rarely names his creations unless they do something to stand out. If they do, they'll either get a descriptive name or a ridiculous name. He's had many scaly fire creations named "fluffy," vlishes and gazers named things like "Cutie-Pie" and rots and tralls with names that he finds particularly incongruous, like Reginald, Geoffrey, and Herbert.

Do you say that if name creations you are on the road to becoming a rebel?

 

Usually finds that people who name creations tend to obsess over them and their other personal preferences and not pay much attention to the intricacies of the game.

That is all.

[Uberdhizon]

I used to name my main guy 'Lief' and then I'd have two rots named 'Barda' and 'Jasmine.' Then I figured out that this was pointless and cheesy, and I haven't named a creation since.

[The Mystic]

I just use the default names for my characters. My creations live and die namelessly. The meaning behind this is that I'm too lazy to change the name.

sums up my relationship with my imaginary friend, which is named cabbageface.
Dange, I put too many book references into my daily speech.

[Dikiyoba]

I've had several different naming themes. The last (stalled) runthrough of G4 had a pair of cryoas named Avalanche and Blizzard, a pair of vlish named Delicious and Nutritious, and a pair of wingbolts named Wingnut and Wingding.

 

Everyone in my current run just have generic (American) boy names, starting with a Shaper named Fred and going alphabetically: George, Harry, Ike, and so on.

 

Dikiyoba isn't really sure what will happen when Dikiyoba reaches letters like Q and X, though.

[pitchblack]

Q and X, of course.

 

(Or at least Q)

[Mea Tulpa]

Quentin and Xerxes.

 

That was Gorey's solution anyhow.

[Xelgion]

I stick to slight variations of commonly used fantasy names.

[Rentual]

i always name my character but im to lazy to name creations

[Altair]

I name all my characters Adrian (my real name). I rarely name creations. Last named creations were: Xenon(Cryoa); Alpha(Battle Alpha).

Altair thinks this will help Dikiyoba:
