Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

greetings Baerth, unliek yourself, I pull names out of my invisible hat on a whim, I walk around planeshift today and still see names I've given out, the owners now being avid roleplayers.

so tell me a little about yourself, and perhaps I can think up a few to suit :]

I enjoy names.

Can't think of a last name? You can always just leave it out.

The two and three name system we have in real life is so you can identify idividuals with the same first name in conversation, records, etc. PS does not allow for more than one player to have the same name, so it is not needed for this. The only reason for a last name is to identify the family you belong to... which is also pointless, as no one is allowed to create the same last name either without a GM change.

When the game allows for out of marrage family ties, then a last name may be needed. So don't stress yourself over a last name, just leave it out.

Hmm... I'm trying to remember how many characters I've seen in-game with second name of Darkwood 4 ? or perhaps 5 ? ... Would a [GM] have been pestered to name-change all the others after the first character with the surname Darkwood was created?

- running PlaneShift Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) Client, on an Apple iMac G5 2GHz PowerPC processor, 2GB DDR SDRAM, an ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card with 128MB VRAM, a 20-inch active-matrix LCD widescreen display, and a 250GB Serial ATA hard drive... so what's your excuse, huh?

Indeed - I've been one of the GMs to make those changes.

I've been one of the GM's who made this change of the Darkwood family too.
Greetings,

 ::| Did nooone thought of the name generator of the game it self??.. just click on Random name, and pling a 1st and a 2nd name... Now if you're creative:
Remember the 2nd name you like (If you don't like the first 2nd name that is given, then clcik again, and again if you don't like the 2nd 2nd name given  :P )
create your char
typ your 1st name and the 2nd name you rememberd (if you did I right that is.. :P )
and Voila!
Péace out!
