I need help deciding on a 'full' name for an argonian male

Post » Sat Sep 03, 2011 3:19 am

Ok, so I have a male Argonian character in a fanfiction that I am writing.

So far, I've been referring to him by a shortened version of his name, simply "Del".

Now, for the next chapter of the series I am going to post on the websites where this is being posted, I'll need his full "Argonian" name. Not something like "Hides-in-Shadow", but a full, proper, Argonian name.

I've looked at a lot of name generators and stuff online for this, but they're all too generic and tend to fall toward the "imperialistic" version of the Argonian names like the one I mentioned above.

If anyone has any ideas I would be happy to entertain them! It's no critical thing, but I figure it can't hurt to post it here, since the lore buffs here know more of what will sound correct than I do. :D

I only plan to use it occasionally, anyways, since the other protagonist (and narrator) of the story will only ever call him "Del" most likely.

If people want to read the story you'll have to PM me for the links, sadly I can't link to them here due to the content being inappropriate for a 13+ board (six and graphic violence).

Hopefully these excerpts from The Infernal City can help you because this is the extent of my knowledge on the names of indiginous Argonians.


Jel , the ancient Argonian tongue, is “the closest speech to thought.” Humans are not able to pronounce it enough to converse effectively. p.33

The Argonians call themselves the Saxhleel. p.34

Argonians have several names. Meer-Glim is the Imperial version, the Saxhleel is Wuthilul. p.34
