[QUOTE="Bloodsparrow, post: 1128936, member: 12554"] With a name like "Bloodsparrow" what do you think? ;) As long as the name of the character is pronounceable with a human mouth, isn't YOUR name, doesn't involve the use of a word I don't say, I don't really mind what you call your character. There was one time where an NPC was named "Galahad", except he was bookish and weak. The group rather rebelled against it and, since he was a follower to the (then) only female character in the group, they all called him "Galead". (KotDT reference) I didn't play with them at that time...But I heard a lot about it. I recently totally embarrassed myself when I corrected the guy who had been running that game that Abby's (Short for "Abyssinia") follower had been named "Galead"... and then I was like... "Oh, wait... That was YOUR NPC, he WAS Galahad..." I suppose THAT might be a problem... Don't go and name your character "Galahad", or "Frodo", or "Elric", or "Khal Drogo", or something obvious like that... Unless you want me to make fun of you. Names of characters I've played recently... - Fie (An excplative... Like "Damn". Old English) - Shawe (Mohekan (sp?) for "Racoon", roughly translates to "Touches things".) - Timkin (Sort of broke my own rule, named after a character in a book I read in Jr. High. But nobody else seems to have read that book... So it's not obvious!) - Jael (From the bible... Drove a tent spike through a Cainite genneral's head after giving him drugged milk.) - Robynne (Normal, except for the spelling.) [/QUOTE]
