OT: What're the best D2 names you've ever seen?
I don't really go for something that necessarily means anything but rather something that I either feel sounds like my character or describes something that would be similar to how I imagine their outlook on life would be. I've had characters as follow:

SeleniaSkybreak - Bowazon - I just like this name since she was a lightning fury Amazon and yet the name flows off of your tongue. I hate names that *sound* bad. :)

Zhakaro - Werebear - I think that this name just sounds very primal and would be something that someone that can turn into a bear might just call himself.

Zharka - Werewolf - Similar to Zhakaro in that it sounds very feralistic to me. I guess I just like the whole "Zh-" sound for wild characters. :)

CelesStarlight - Charged Boltress - I felt this name sounded pretty as the visual effect for charged bolt is when you start spamming it at slvl 30+. I also thought the "Starlight" part sounded like a good description for what a bolt of lightning might look like as it came toward you.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. :lol:

Loyal_Servant

A Paladin which switched between Meditation and Salvation (made my Oak Sage quintipple immune!). Was the reason I started a Cleric.


Sapphireena

I'm not sure I spelled that right, and it's from another game. She was a green candy coloured pixie, and had a shop that sold jewelries (and it was amazingly decorated).





That's all. You don't really look at names in this kind of game. :unsure:

I've named a character Nugis_Armatus.

I don't actually know Latin but took this from a phrase dictionary. It listed it as meaning: armed with trifles.

Next I looked up nugae in a regular Latin dictionary. I've assumed this is the root word of nugis. Nugae is listed as meaning: jokes, jests, idle speaches, trifles, trumpery, nonsense.

As a name, would Nugis_Armatus be appropriate for a character who uses only Wirt's leg as a weapon?

Aww, see what you made me do?

Back ON topic, for once, ( ;) ) most of my current characters are named using the "variation of Brimstone" rule, such as Brimstormy, my newest HC druid. I do have a Miss_Gatling_Too, a remake of Miss_Gatling, my first cookie-cutter strafeazon. And since I'm going into the way-back machine, my first barb in D2C was named PoppaPump, after the more chemically-enhanced Steiner brother from the now-defunct WCW.


EDIT: Oh, how could I forget my 1st HC char EVER, my assa named DedGrlWalkin? She'd slap me, if she wasn't so busy turning in her grave(s)...

Another one here that's overly proud of his own names :)

Joan_ofSpark, my HC charged boltress

Dan_Quixote, the paladin

Genghis_dan, a barbarian

Party_ghoul, a necro, obviously.

GoodnessGracious, who carried a personalized great maul of fire.

Pluck_yew, a bowazon, was my favorite name, though I never had the gumption to bring her to basin games, where I normally play

Some others I managed to snag after the last round of acct deletions:
Shania_twang
MeAndMyShadow
Sancho_Panzer (crying to be made into a defiant)
Shock_AndAwe
Yogi_daBear
ScoobyDoobyDoo
La_FemmeNikita (really suprised I got this one)
Calamity_Jane

Killer-K, a PKK Warrior character of mine from D1 at first but then when I moved to D2 I tried to use the same name, but it was taken.

Shivana-Rudra, a SinglePlayer Sorceress that I made, and finally Harbringer, a good name for a Barbarian.

This thread is worth it for "I CE Dead People" alone 8^)

I confess to being fairly proud of "Professor Pilum", my spear-chucker. I also like my friend's cookie-cutter Sorceress, "Ionia Ras".

I made a classic char called Of_MonteCristo. I want to get him to Count. :)

I have one more that I was reminded of in reading the names taken from mythology. My first ever character (single player) was a barbarian known as Achilles. Ironically, he had a 'heel' as it were: OK's and their damn Iron Maiden curse. I must've died 4 times before I figured out that it was the curse that was killing me.

I just registered a new char after playing the game "Balderdash" (fun game) named "Spraints". 5 points to anyone who can tell me what it means. :)

Funny you should mention one of the Graves boys. I managed his nephews Digger and Robber on Europe for a while until I grew bored with Necromancers.

Others are Beowulf_Baerzun the werewolf son of a bear, Cole_Steel the sword using barbarian hoping for a Coldsteel Eye and Nita_FrostSpear, the FA/LF using amazon she-wolf.
