Congrats my man!! I named my Devilsaur (King Krush) Bahamut…now I have Bahamut and Fenrir, maybe I should get a lava corehound and name him Ifrit (I just thought of that, and am totally doing it)….anyone besides Indo get that?
Darrwyn do you go funny names, or do you want some other kind of name?
Unfortunately I take my naming way too seriously. Every name has a reason, a reference, a "meaningful" gist, if you like. Like Darrwyn… Darwin was unavailable and I thought hunting is all about survival of the fittest…
Other names in my stable: Frostbite (Hakkari windserpent), Icepick (polar bear), Wildtalon (tiger), Mistwing (bird of prey: owl), Deadmeat (carrion fowl). My earlier names included marvels like Snaarl and Growl, but I haven't gone down that road for ages. I had a raptor named Bluefang at one time. He was, wait for it, blue!
I've been real disappointed at various times when I've tried to name characters. Would you believe the following have been unavailable: Steve, Bill, Trevor, Mike… I thought when I started I'd have a troll named Bill, like in "The Hobbit", but just couldn't. I was devastated for seconds!
My son does what I consider "juvenile" names : Failatron, Failwhale, Nooby, Tinytaren (he spelt Tauren wrong!) I couldn't stand seeing a name like that in front of me forever. Then there's the Loltroll or Orclol type of naming I also consider juvenile. I usually select names with a meaning, or a referrece, albeit with a slight spelling twist… Impaqt, Turpin. Of course, all this goes out the window when I roll a Tauren. Then I just HAVE to go all "Native American": Mohiqan or my first character, Tallshadow.
Umm, err… what was the question…?
