A Naming Convention

[Diamond Cross]

Here is a unique naming convention that I use to name my characters.

To do it, all you have to do is to take the initials of your name, and spell it phonetically.

Here's an example. Let's say your name is Steven Rogers.

The initials are S. R.

So phonetically they can be pronounce es ar.

Put those two together and you get Esar.

I don't know if anybody else has used this convention, but once in a while I do.

It's kind of a tricky way to get around the "don't name your characters after yourself" suggestion.

 

[Fifth Element]

Ayeff could work as a character name. Not bad.

 

[OSEZNO]

I fear for the inevitable bard named Emcee.

 

[The Shaman]

So my character is named Eminem.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Ohess ... I think not. Or Jaycee -- again, no.

I prefer anagrams. Tem Ashlied, human barbarian FTW!

WW. Dubble-yu Dubble-yu? Dubuloo? Man I don't know about this. My character sounds like a friggin' gungan.

Yes. You're only allowed to play Star Wars Saga Edition from now on.

Sorry, but them's the breaks!

 

[DumbPaladin]

It works for a lot of people, but I would be Gigi. I don't want to play a French barmaid.

 

[OSEZNO]

Also, PP.

I like it, but it wouldn't work for me. I'd be Eheh or Aeae or some such. Even adding my middle name's initial wouldn't help much: I'd just be Ehjayeh or Aejayae.
