[QUOTE="AFGNCAAP, post: 1855180, member: 871"] Well, One player named his svirneblin character Hobblesnot Dribblespit the Sixth. As he would kill/defeat a single monster during the game, he'd add to the character's name (stuff like "Slayer of Illithids" & whatnot). It became a lengthy process whenever anyone asked him his name. However, it was often shortened to "Hobble." The same player, with another gnome, named that PC Gobblehop SitnSpin. Another player named a halfling cleric PC (of the sea god) Hassel Davidhoff. Liked red shorts. He had a black pony with red eyes. He also played a mongrelman cleric called Baaaaaaaaaah (yes, as in te animal sound). My g/f played a halfling rogue named Tapioca (she adventured w/ Gobblehop SitnSpin). An ice mage character of hers is named Tundra von Winter. A female ogre fighter character she made up for fun was named Buttons. One player pretty much stuck with an Asian-themed character, usually some sort of warrior or the like, armed with a bow, named Subotai (of [I]Conan the Barbarian[/I] fame). Could be a scout, a samurai, a mercenary, whatever--the character always had those traits. And generally, the same personality. A current player in our group has a ranger called Indigo Montoya (remove the "d" from the first name, & you'll get the jist). An NPC in a friend's game was an elf mage named Akarsalin, often shortened to "Akar" (pronounced "a-Car"). Of course, when anyone would say "Akar?", it was often followed by "No, a van," or "No, a bus." I have a fair number of NPCs with defining/definition-based names like: [list] [*]Shiv, the dagger-wielding warrior [*]Drumond the dwarf druid (the name Drumond meaning "druid mountain") [*]Harbin the gnome paladin (Harbin meaning "little warrior") [*]Ivar the Bowman (Ivar meaning "yew" or "archer") [*]Jussom Guy, a man on the street [*]Chuckles the Jester (thank Ultima for this one) [*]Bayne the elf assassin [*]Raorr the half-orc druid [*]Axel the axe-wielding barbarian [*]Thorin, the hammer-wielding dwarf [*]Riordan the Bard (Riordan meaning "bard") [*]Clark the cleric [*]Whisper the rogue [*]Oskar Ironhelm, the gruff, grouchy dwarf [/list] That's what I can recall, so far.
