Character Naming

[Rice]

Personally, I have a horrible time coming up with names for my characters. I usually try to name my character after a word in a different language, or after some mythological god or creature, but I end up not liking the name afterward.

You all seem to have these awesome names for your characters, and i'm kind of wondering how you do it. Any special techniques (i.e. mashing buttons until it looks right) or tips or anything? I'm desperate here. :17:

Well, so far, I'm just taking normal Names like "Bo" or "Bruce"...But "Aarma Madet" is my own creation.


Just take the first 3 letters of your 1st name and combine them with the first 2 letters of your last to make the first name.

Take the first 2 letters of your last name again and combine them with the first 3 letters of your home town to get the last name.

I have no idea how I got Katroti. Or Mariija. Or Shaobe. What I really just do is take a constanant. Then I pick a vowel and I say it out loud, alternating with different vowels till it sounds right then I pick some random letters for an ending. lol

Another good thing to do is do what Kit did and use KOTOR's Name Generator and pick a few names you like.

haha, yes... the random name generators in kotor 1&2 are definitely great places to find relatively unique names.

Best Jedi Master ever, we swear.

But I never really thought about using KOTOR's name generator. Thanks. :D

Glad we could be of help.

Whoa, nice idea madet, this is kinda nifty seeing everything you can come up with just by taking parts of your name and mixing them together. :9:

Cimmerii Adlevater, is a mix of latin words, it roughly translates to something like Light Dark Warrior.
