Cool character names : V - Skyrim

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 6:56 pm

Okay then, I have decided. My centuries old Dunmer mercenary will be named *drumroll*...

...Frank.

That's truly inspired I like it.

However once i'm finished with Big Dave the alcoholic Nord.

I think I'm going to create an Argonian called Arnold,
Arnold the pogomophobic Argonian .

When it comes to Nord names, there are none better than Icelandic names.

Hrafnin -- The Raven
Eirikur Raudi -- Erik the Red
Snorri

to name a few

Since Skyrim will be Nord based i'm obviously going to play as a nord. Not that i've ever played as anything else though.

I was wondering if anyone knows any cool viking/nord names to accompany my character. Doesn't have to be a nordish name though, anything from a breton to an argonian is welcome

.

Tyr is quite an awesome name.

A truly exceptional name! Imagine the Role playing possibilities of a character who must only travel down hill.

Trogdor the Burninator...

No it's Mah-So-Fa-Bish.

If you want a werewolf female go with Freyja or Loki if you play a thief or trickster.

With respect to a previous post regarding the name "http://www.behindthename.com/name/ursula."

See source above. The following information is from a search performed on the "Behind the Name" site, using their categories of "Swedish" and "female."

"URSULA
Gender: Feminine

Usage: English, Scandinavian, German, Dutch, Spanish, Finnish, Late Roman

Pronounced: UR-s?-l? (English), oor-SOO-lah (Spanish) [key]

Means "little bear", derived from a diminutive form of the Latin word ursa "she-bear". Saint Ursula was a legendary virgin princess of the 4th century who was martyred by the Huns while returning from a pilgrimage. In England the saint was popular during the Middle Ages, and the name came into general use."

My first exposure to that name came from the film actress, Ursula Andress. She was born in Ostermundigen, Bern, Switzerland

Ariake. Pronnounced "Uh-rye-ek".

Means 'green' in my language. Alternatively, it could mean 'mean', as in 'mean bastard'.

Really? It's the name of a simple-minded giant from 'A Game of Thrones', the real meaning doesn't suit his personality at all.

Since I will play as a Nord, I will name my character Balforn, its means ancient flame in norse

Names and titles are something I, as a writer, always struggle with.

I hate the completely made up and stupid sounding "fantasy" names. Of course, I only really focus on naming characters in games when that name is actually used. In Oblivion, I eventually started naming all my characters numbers based on how many I had going at once, since the name is never used at all in the game world.

Groo the wanderer. Probably need to be a custom race with penalties for intelligence and personality (if Skyrim has attributes), and a bezerker perk. Dual wield two Katanas, light armor only and won't bother with blocking.

I'll probably have to mod in a dog companion and call him Rufferto.

Ha a frey,now Groo does what Groo does best!!!!!!!!

Malivio Von Draxis
Pronounced (Mal-iv-e-o Von Drax-sys) pretty straight forward

A regal yet insidious name, great for a noble, mage, assassin, or rogue. Taken from a villain's surname and a play on the word "malevolent"

Probably going to be a breton mage and will go with a Byzantine style name like:

John Skylitzes
Michael Psellus
Nikephorus Phokas
Leo Diaconus
John Tzimiskes
Romanos Argyros
Heraclius
Justinian
Belisarius
Anastasius
Constantine
