SteveCollinz Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have been trying for almost two days to come up with a good name for a Jedi knight lol. I have tried all the names i think sound good or names from stuff i am interested in but to no avail. How do you guys (the SW:ToR community) come up with your names?

Nickious Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Subtle accent marks. I'm not creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joonbeams Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 If you really want a unique name and not something like 'Killer,' 'Killa,' etc. you can use the "random name" selector to start, then tweak according to your liking. Here are two I just did this with: Tythanus, Doram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djiini Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Well, me, personally, I'm creative. My char names are Tsurugi (Male Inquisitor), Faeralyn (Female Warrior), Perridot (Female Agent), Univerba (Female BH), Anjii (Male Knight), Lerato (Male Consular), Asadi (Female Trooper) and Minum (Male Smuggler) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaotikVisions Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I use names I've used in RPGs for awhile now. But if your having trouble, try googling Star Wars name generators. There are a lot out there, you're bound to find something you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyraineAlei Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 "Spacify" names. Ashlynn becomes Aishilynne (Taken on a couple servers, my main sage, and a few more sages on other servers). Sophia became Sophria. I have a Fem!Troop Cathar named Pixil, after Heinlein's Cat Who Walked Through Walls... And my cat is named after the same one. Hyphens. I have a One-Four (long backstory as to why she has that name, and isn't a cyborg/droid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwena Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 You could think of a name you like (which will, of course, be taken), and tweak it. Some examples: Add and/or change vowels: Nadia --> Naidia, Nadie Add an extra consonant: Lana --> Lanna Add mostly silent h's: Jaesa --> Jhaesa, Jaesah Add an apostrophe: Ashara --> A'shara, Ash'ara Add to the end of the name: For female names, try -ia, -a, -na, -ie, and other suffixes with a high sound/vowel end: Kira --> Kiraia, Risha --> Rishana Male names are a bit tougher. Try -th, -anth, -on, and other sounds that don't have a higher pitch: Torian --> Torianth Depending on what you have in mind and what server you are on though, you may have to do more than one of these things. Some people prefer using alt codes though, it is a matter of taste. Best of luck naming your Jedi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahirri Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I used the fantasynamegenerators site. All I did was Google something like Chiss name generator and that site is usually the first one on the list. It gives you a great selection of names to choose from.

ScarletBlaze Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 here is a site for star wars name generator. Might help. http://www.dimfuture.net/starwars/random/generate.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSeventhJedi Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I've had some decent luck tweaking with the random name generator. It actually gave me "Pheldinel" for my IA, which I kept, because it sounded like the alien way to say "Phil." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmdanger Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I either tweak from random, or use something like behindthename to find a real name with a particular sound/meaning I like, then tweak that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoDrake Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hell i called my Jedi Knight Daintybutterfly, made him a giant sith warrior and clad him in pink hotpants and straps... seriously name your character what you feel it should be called heh have fun with it, be serious whatever you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SelinaH Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have a Fem!Troop Cathar named Pixil, after Heinlein's Cat Who Walked Through Walls... And my cat is named after the same one. Blert! here is a site for star wars name generator. Might help. http://www.dimfuture.net/starwars/random/generate.php This is the one I use to generate names for my d20 tabletop NPCs. I've found it doesn't work as well as I'd like for TOR, because the naming "uniqueness" comes largely from the combination of first and last names (although I'm still tempted to make a Bounty Hunter called -- actual RNG name -- "Jett Balls"). I typically end up simply using the RNG in the character creator; if only it didn't keep suggesting names that are already taken. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidelicatessen Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Come up with a good Legacy name. As an example (don't you dare use this!), I use Pants. This makes naming my characters very very easy (I have Capri, Under, Pajama, Biggboy, among others). My wife uses Cake. Lots of options there, too (she has Carrott and Pow'nd, among others). "The Risen" title works quite well with many of her choices. Face, Pie and many others will work well as Legacy names, too, and make it much easier to come up with names for your character.

Nefla Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Special characters are definitely your friend because you can have any name you want with an accent mark that is hardly noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyaniteD Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I use the fantasy name generator for my secondary account. On my main legacy I have a special theme in combination with my legacy. I'm using words from a foreign language as base and then tweak the names a bit.

LoverNoFighter Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Why don't you name your character something Revan'ish?? I don't think that's ever been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calypsissmexy Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I do use the syllable apostrophe break method. That seems pretty wide open at the moment. Using special/accented characters makes it impossible for people to manually whisper, email, or invite you.

SgtJeremy Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I rip my names off other games, Radec, Pokemon names, Jetfire (Transformers). I have some random names that I tweeked, most of the good random names were taken. I lack some creativity when it comes to names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
