Title: Cool Names
Post by: DarLord on August 02, 2005, 05:45:43 pm
What\'s a really cool name for the game?

My name is Dar and I would like something to do with Dar.
DarLord is the best I\'ve come up with, unless you think DarMan sounds better.

DarLord? DarMan? I\'m guessing the GMs wont like you putting lord and man behind your name to make it more/less interesting. What I\'ve seen become popular is gods of diffrent religeons (pegan gods. Egyptian gods.) even some  heroes/philosephers from greek history (Phinehas) Also the latin translator would be a fine idea. I\'ve seen people with latin names like Eximiusm, or Validus. If all else fails try turning to your imagination.

head over to the newbie forum and read the naming policy please.

Just try adding random sylables to the end. But don\'t you dare try going with just Dar. That name is still quite well known to us fans of Beast Master.

Hm, here\'s a random name by me Darr Arantis. Who knows maybe you\'ll like it.

Post by: DarLord on August 02, 2005, 06:23:13 pm
How about Dargon or Darko?
Something like that sounds cool.

Any other suggestions?

Dargon sound ok, I guess, I guess the GMs won\'t mind abriviation of Dragon, Darko, well does seem ok as well but who knows. :P

Is it first or second names? And what second name you going to use?

Post by: DarLord on August 02, 2005, 06:43:08 pm
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SECOND NAME???
Damn. Well I need to think of more names then!

My nickname of my surname is Hoss, and my middle name is James.

If you can think of a second name out of James or Hoss, that would be great.

I got another idea for first name: DarHos

Nope, 2 names isn\'t a requirement but it is a custom for people to have 2 names.
Personaly i think Dar is fine.

I would still like to try and make 2 names though.
Suggestions please.

Post by: John_Thazer on August 02, 2005, 06:51:29 pm
True I personally never saw this Beast Master (oh actually I might have but so long ago) so Dar is perfectly ok, unless you bump into GM who is a fan of Beast Master. :D

What sort of things are you interested in?  Maybe make your name out of something connected to one of your hobbies.

I also think that the name that John_Thazer already suggested is OK, personally.  If you want to keep your own name, it\'s got the extra R so you might not annoy anyone who likes BM.

But then, I\'m a noob, so what do I know eh?
Title:
Post by: DarLord on August 02, 2005, 06:59:00 pm
My hobbies are computers, games, movies and being out and about.
But seeing as they dont have computers and movies in this game, I don\'t think it\'s a good idea to have that in my name.

By the way, when will the server be back!
I download it and it won\'t work!
Ah well, it will probably be ready tommorow.
How long has it been down for?

Check the thread here (http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=17974&boardid=13&styleid=3&sid=c0a0435126301741903a97a76a05bf3d)

OK, I was more thinking along the lines of favourite movies, maybe combining a few of them, or mixing together names of favourite characters from movies and games.

Is there a favourite place you like to go to that could form part of your name, for example, if you go fishing, you could have your first name Darfis.

Post by: Hatchnet on August 02, 2005, 07:04:18 pm
sylables my good man sylables.  Gammies good enough for you?


Actualy that sounds kind of good... Darhos Gammies

Hmmmmmmm.
Great idea but I can\'t think of anything.

I like the names used in the Matrix, and my all time favourite game is Half-Life2.
If anyone could come up with something to do with these, that would be great, thanks.
Title:
Post by: John_Thazer on August 02, 2005, 07:21:43 pm
Half-Life eh? Darlar Freman :P
Title:
Post by: DarLord on August 02, 2005, 07:24:24 pm
Lol, why Darlar?

Freman sounds alright but naaaaaaa.

Post by: Drey on August 02, 2005, 07:30:10 pm
the whole topic of this thread \'cool names\'... \'cool\' as in plays on words and the like?

did you even make it over here yet, http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=17682&boardid=1&styleid=4

then back on the name. choose something you like the sound of then put some history or background to it.

I still dont like the idea that you are looking for a \'cool\' name that to me sounds like you want to have a name like... i cant think of anythong right now, but some kind of leetist name.

I\'ve seen once a name like \"Killermachine\" lool

Edit: You have to think at something that fits in the setting (medieval world) that sounds good to you and that isn\'t something like the one mentioned above meanning that should sound \"not RL-ish\"

Let\'s hope our friend here won\'t choose a name like that. :D
Title:
Post by: DarLord on August 02, 2005, 07:36:47 pm
Naaaaaaa.
To me Dargon or Dargo sounds good.
I hadn\'t realised that Dargon is an anagram of \"dragon\".

Can the name be changed later?

I think Dargon makes a good name, but I also want another name with it to do with Hoss.
Title:
Post by: Othila Fedhu on August 02, 2005, 07:38:55 pm
How about Mathoss then?  It\'s the Matrix and your own surname combined.

Dargehn Nenbahk

Dalorath klophesheid

Thats it! We shall call him leetist! (Joke) Heres my freind Latin translator! Damon.-No meaning?? dedecus : shame, dishonor, disgrace, crime, dishonorable act eximius : extraordinary, excellent, fine, superb exuro : burn down, burn, set on fire. They have nothing to do with Dar but thats cause I\'m sure someone will make a comment about teh beast master -_-\'\'


EDIT: \\o/ Nice work Dem. I know who to ask if I wanna make another char :D
Title:
Post by: DarLord on August 02, 2005, 07:46:23 pm
Sorry, but I don\'t like them.

Dargon  ____Hos is what I want.

I need something before the Hos.

OR= Dargon Deus!
Sounds kinda catchy, plus, Deus means God.
Dragon God!
Title:
Post by: John_Thazer on August 02, 2005, 07:48:06 pm
Dargon Hos sounds pretty cool. :)
Title:
Post by: Talamir on August 02, 2005, 07:49:07 pm
Deus...deus..where have I heard that before? :P Well...first..It means god..pfffft. dont get too confident now. Second I wanna see how Sopedu replies to this :P And come on...Dargon..Dragon god..thats not gonna get you much thumbs up. I loved every one of Dems names...


Dargon Hos...not bad :)
Title:
Post by: DarLord on August 02, 2005, 07:51:16 pm
Well I think I\'m gonna stick with Dargon Deus.
Title:
Post by: Talamir on August 02, 2005, 07:53:13 pm
More power to ya! Glad you decided on a name...hope to see you ingame once its up and running. :)
Title:
Post by: DarLord on August 02, 2005, 07:57:13 pm

Darean Carthren?
How about that. It might have been an old english name. Sounds net in a way like a poor farmer trying to struggle for his king by being a good citizen.
Darf Frenkle?
Sounds like a dwarfs name.
Dareth Stormlighter?
Sounds like a kind of knight to me.
Dareen Squibble?
Sounds funny and old. like a puny faced man, bully like.
Darbold Whiplan
sounds like a name for a game. Change it up a bit.

I am trying to think of a name with Sam in it.
Sameal Donner?
might be good for someone.
I am trying to think up an elf-like name a lot like awhat would be in the Lor of the Rings. Befor you post the link or send me to hte manual, I read the whole manual before starting the game. Dar can be turned into a medievil game name with a little bit of thought. The name does not even  have to start with it like:
IngDAR straggletub.
     The manuals are good for starting out but do not help give an idea of  proper medievil names for the less imaginitive. Hope I was a help. You can use any of the names above if you want. I thought of them all from the top of my head.

did not see this last page. Well at least there is extra names for those needing help.
