[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 1640674, member: 4910"] One guy in my gaming group is bad... and I mean really bad... horribly terribly, month-takingly bad at coming up with character names. He can't come up with a character name to save his life. If aliens invaded the earth, and the fate of all mankind rested on this man's ability to name a character... with any name whatsoever... we'd all be doomed. There just arn't enough words in the english language to describe my friend's lack of faculty with names. So, we've just taken to looking around the surrounding gaming area and rattling off the names of what we see. His first character was a gnome sorcerer by the name of Oberto. His next character was a sneaky-fightery guy with a spiked chain we ended up naming Toshiba. Toshi for short, and to his credit the character's background and history was changed to make it reasonable. He was changed from generic-man into a halfbreed shou expatriot who ended up on the wrong side when his clan's leadership changed hands. He had a dwarven fighter by the name of Ruffles, which was changed to be the dwarf's nickname from his childhood and a story was cooked up explaining it, and so forth. Kinda amusing, really.
