What would you name her?

Post » Mon Sep 19, 2011 10:02 pm

Si, ive got one character sorted, my main character... but i thought i might aswell start writing more characters with the time i have left before Skyrim's release... so... i plan on doing a young Breton girl, who is forced to the College of Winterhold by her parents to practive her magic skills more... even though she's a bit of a rebel and couldnt care less about her magic skills, infact she even skips College classes and just goes of exploring Skyrim most of the time, wanting to go out and explore, after all she's been getting told what to do in the past years by her parentsall the time... shes a long haired, pale skinned, eyeliner wearing teen (in retrospect, shes a Skyrim version of todays emos/scene kids, whatever you wanna' call them).... but i can't think of a name for her? :0 I havn't wrote out any real backstory for her yet... i want to hear what you guys think and if youve done anything like this for your characters?

There was a random TES name generator here somewhere...

Well here's one used in the tamriel-rebuilt project (apparently?)

Sound's like a bit cliché if you ask me, but anyway the character is yours, I wish goodluck in your search

Yeah my main character is the exact type you would find in Skyrim, hes the defenition of Skyrim, with his own hardcoe backstorie and what not.. so i decided to go the opposite way with this one, just an innocent character where i can do what i want really without many restrictions of character personality and whatnot... more of a fun character :D

shes a long haired, pale skinned, eyeliner wearing teen (in retrospect, shes a Skyrim version of todays emos/scene kids, whatever you wanna' call them)....

Some of my fr?ends are Emo and Scene... and I used to dress Emo ( I still do a little bit ) But all seriousness aside..

Something Japanese

Bretons are supposed to be french-based right? then I think a french name would work best

Adele
Audrey
Aurore
Celine
Gabrielle
Jeanne
Renee
Sabine
Sylvie

maybe take those names and spell them a bit differently for uniqueness, lol

My male Breton is Varus Mehrvan

i found 'Varus' in a book and Roman campaign in Germania and along the ( he was a general )

'Mehrvan' is some Hindi word i came across

....despite the fact that neither of these follow the Breton french style naming, together they work very well.

Just look in some History book and combine names

EDIT: i like what "Eps" said above me

I like the background but I am kinda curious about how she got in prison.

Also it's too bad that in Skyrim she will start out just like very Breton Girl in the world since all that time practicing magic means nothing when you are force to start with a blank slate.

(I wonder if that came out the way I might for it to?)

Rikkou (short for Rikkoutuneiden) Sielu. It roughly means "Broken Soul" in finnish.
Alternatively, Eeva Nousi, roughly meaning "Eve Rose" in finnish.
Other languages can be a gold mine for names. If you can come up with something that relates to your character at it sounds nice in another language, then go for it.

Tanakka Mies. It's closer to "Stocky Man" but it can also mean chunky.
Sounds good too, don't you think?
