What will you name your character?

Post » Wed Sep 29, 2010 3:58 pm

I will name my character Dovahkiin, or my real name which is Robin.
But my first character will probably be Dovahkiin


Maximus, Lord Maximus in fact. All my adventure characters when I play for the first time are named Lord Maximus.

lmao that's true. You should see in WOW how many call their characters "humanrogue", "paladindwarf" and alike. Very original.

Yeah, tell me about it. Especially on the alliance side I saw a lot of desperation for generic names. When they are all taken, they struggle to improvise something like or . it's quite funny, but I try to avoid them :D

Why would you name your character Dovahkiin? Might as well name him/her "Protagonist" or "Hero" or something.

My character will be a female Nord named Vannora Shale-Fist.

I totally agree! It's almost like you read my mind... ;)

I'm never lost for a cool name, so I don't need to set one up ahead of time. When the "What is your name?" comes up, I'll name my character then. And it will be better than anyone else's. :P

Haven't decided yet, I'll come up with a name when I'm in the character creation menu. Browsing the face options for my Argonian will give me inspiration. I did the same in Oblivion.

Hmm... Maybe I won't call my character Dovahkiin...
I am really bad at comming up with names so I usually just pick what the game says your name is or my real name, but for once I wan't to name him something "cool"

It depends on what race and appearence I'll choose, if I decide to make a Nord, and I can remove one of his eyes then I might name him Odin.

I'll browse through the index of The Silmarillion like I usually do and pick something that sounds cool, so a fantasy name.


Back in 6th grade i was really into JRR Tolkein, i picked up that book, read the first sentense and returned it because just the first sentense blew my mind.

But as of my first character, it will be a Dunmer Assassin, with some magic knowledge and a master at Alchemy.

As of a name, probably my real name, or one of my Oblivion names Xaij, the Dark Assassin.

No background story, no origin. (Except dovakiin)

just the mastery of shadows and Assassination

Pick an ancient civilization that interests you then do a search for names from that culture, you'll find a huge list of new name options in no time.

OT: Krymzon will be my first character's name.

First PC will be a canon type, Male Nord Barbarian. I usually use a MW name generator or go through named Nords in MW and OB on the Wiki to find something I like.

From my MW Journal:

The MW Heroes

Sorjin

Nord Barbarian (pre-built). MW - MQ & BM. 02/2008

No thrills fighter from the start. He didn’t think much of the land of Morrowind or its people but agreed to do the MQ for the glory of the battles. Afterward he traveled to Solstheim and loved the land. He wanted to help the people there and did every quest he could. During these missions he contracted lycanthropy and became a werewolf. To remove the curse he enlisted the aid of three witches. It was only during the final phase of their cure that he realized he was required to kill an innocent Nord girl. He did what he had to but afterward became so angry that he slaughtered the witches. He spent the rest of his life trying to compensate for his actions. After the threat of Hircine was over he finally retired to the Thirsk mead hall where he spent the rest of his days’ retelling the stories of his adventures.

No problem! I used to have the same problem and that's how I fixed it. If I ever have a daughter her name will be Greek in origin. :)

Pick an NPC from Morrowind or Oblivion, use their name, and pretend you're a descendent.
