101 Video Game and RPG Names That You Could Give A Real Child

[Kaodi]

I was just reading an article in the Globe & Mail on crazy baby names, and it got me thinking of a name that I had seen in a video game that I thought could really be a nice name in real life: Presea.

I was thinking, then, that it might be an interesting exercise to think of names of characters from various video and computer games, and rpgs, that could actually be serviceable in the real world. Maybe not perfect, or stellar, but respectable enough.

The source of a name is important.

1) Presea - Tales of Symphonia (~Pres-ay-ah)
2) Allustriel - Forgotten Realms

 

[Dioltach]

3) The Nameless One - Planescape: Torment

 

[SnowleopardVK]

4) Medli - Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

 

[Ulrick]

5) Zelda - from well, The Legend of Zelda.
6) Tenser - from Greyhawk
7) Leomund - from Greyhawk
8) Rary - from Greyhawk
9) Robilar - from Greyhawk
10) Obmi - from Greyhawk if you want your kid to grow up running around and hitting people with hammers.


but never Beek Gwenders of Croodle, "Ogre", or any of those "people" from the Keep on the Borderlands...

My son made a character named Trey Icefalcon...

In the last few days I've run into 3 real life Treys.
