I find that stealing the names of UNsenet or web board posters usually works very nicely in a pinch.

The last session I DMed featured 1st level warriors named Simon, Kengar, Destil, Kyramus and Whyrph, and a high-level druid named Voneth. My 13th level archer in another game is Talath.

Although there was one terrible disaster when I had a 15th level death knight named Piratecat....

My one roommate used the name "dread pirate pepe Rodriguez" He wore an eye patch and was a land locked Pirate in a Ravenloft campaign. He was a great character the funniest thing he did at the game table was asked if he could get a +2 bonus to spot checks if he lifted the eye patch a took a good look at it.

The DM was laughing so hard he gave him the bonus.

Hope this helps

I think I'll create an NPC named Hong. Now, anyone remember what page in BoVD had those fetishes and perversions?

You b*st*rd, you. Just for that, I'm going to create a kobold named Meepo.

Hmm.

I had an old thief swashbuckler in 2E days named Ramiro the Red or something like that... and, I'm currently trying to play a flashy swashbuckler wannabe in Kalamar named Liamar. We have another similar type in game named Brogan, who hates to be called Brogan the Brigand...

Pick a name that's dashing and fun to say. Pay attention to sylables, cadence, and alliteration. Definitely take a first and last name, or a first name and a place name, or a name and a descripto. For instance:

"Ramiro the Red" is good, because it goes "da-da-da-da-DA." The sylables and double r make it roll of the tongue. Same goes for "the Dread Pirate Roberts".

"Marius Delphius" is bad, bacause there's a full stop after Marius. Well, maybe this one can be good for a villain. "Marius" can be said with a sneer.

Be that as it may, I know a fencer named Marius, which may influence the above opinion (Marius is not a swashbuckler; he's a fierce, very serious student and practitioner of the rapier.)

I, however, am a fencer. My SCA name is Michelle du'Port Royale (It's French, thus the masculine Michelle). Say it, the name rolls of the tongue: da-DA-da-DA-da-DA. Fun. Good name for a fencer.

So, pick a fun name. No one will notice a swashbuckler named Burt. But "Barnaby Brineswallow" will attract attention.

-zaruthustran, which is a terrible name for a fencer--but a decent name for a drow mage created in middle school circa 1989.
