Double Meanings in Character Names

[Enceladus]

Dick Fitzwell







Sorry.

 

[Silver Moon]

One of my players named his 2E skyrider paladin, Sir Mojo Rising.

We've had a fighter in our campaign for the past 19 years with that name as well. I also once played an assassin named Elaskah in a campaign. He was a gnome, who prided himself in his reputation, his catch phrase being "Everybody's heard of Nome, Alaska".

 

[Lalato]

i play a sorcerer named kuhlun (cullin') and when he got a kangaroo rat familiar my wife suggested i name him dugang, so it became (cool 'n da gang)

(is thta too much wordplay and not enuf double meaning?)

That's exactly what I was going for...

[Breakdaddy]

I was always partial to Hugh Badaxe

 

[Mort]

My friend's longest running Heroes Unlimited character was named Richard Cranium.
Not all the other players put it together right away but they got there eventually.

 

[Dark Eternal]

Heh... these are cool.

Only one that I can recall... I once named a Paladin character Drae Gonshou just to tempt my Dungeon Master at the time. It worked, too... I got eaten by a White Wyrm around 6th level.

 

[Xeriar]

In an L5R campaign I played a kid named (Tsuruchi) Noname.

In OpenRPG I wander around with Noname as my handle, people tell me to get a name

 

[Angcuru]

My brother's alter ego is an Honor Knight named Sir Honorable...which he is not.

My favorite character's name is Angcuru(surprise, surprise)(not the angcuru in our game, blackshirt), which is Quenya(elven) for 'Iron Skill'.

It could mean that his skill is exceedingly overpowering, or that he is skilled with iron, i.e. a blade. Plus the name sounds neat, and is unique. HA!

 

[Bugaboo]

I remember some guy who used to visit these boards who went by the name Lingus the Cunning.

 

[Angcuru]

Nice one on his part.
