MadDutchman Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) You must not have made a character in a while. It's not hard at all to find names, so long as you don't try to use one the random name generator makes for you I only use it to find one I kinda like, and then go messing around with the letters, apostrophes (especially easy if you are a Twi'lek character and want a universe accurate name) etc. If I'm really desperate, I just add a last name Edited July 23, 2020 by MadDutchman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eabevella Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I just pick an animal I like or reminds me of my character and use it's scientific name (or part of it). Sounds "exotic" enough for Star but not gibberish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I see someone with the name that means something in my native language, I wonder if they speak it or just picked the name for the same reasons as you. Then I look at my toons' names and wonder if I accidentaly picked one that means something hilarious in another language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsillah Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 You must not have made a character in a while. Although it's tricky, it's far from impossible. I can only say that it does take some effort on my part but I've been able to come up with good names for my characters. For context, a couple of years ago I deleted all my characters cause I didn't want to come back to this game. Yeah yeah, I had anger issues. But when I came back last year it meant I had to start all over. I've been successful in getting 14 new characters an appropriate name. So it is possible, just takes a bit of effort. Though it might be true that just that effort might be enough to turn people off to the game. Hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundorff Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Yes everyone with 3 ounces of creativity can make a new name, but having a general name purge in conjunction with the steam launch should have been obvious. Just purge the name of every account that has been inactive for more than a year and does not have an active subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For preference, *unlock* the names rather than actually deleting them from characters. That way, if someone comes back before the name is taken, he gets to keep it.

eabevella Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Every time I see someone with the name that means something in my native language, I wonder if they speak it or just picked the name for the same reasons as you. Then I look at my toons' names and wonder if I accidentaly picked one that means something hilarious in another language. At least most scientific names are Latin lol The most difficult ones are Chiss name. Three parts with a pronounceable core name? Hmmm I need to go back to english class. But yeah, don't end up like the new Venom comic villain whose name literally means the verb f*** in Swedish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when they find out that I'm not Italian they sort of apologise saying it means something in Italian. Then I say I know but it's actually Latin as well. Generally that means the end of the conversation lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 At least most scientific names are Latin lol Or non-Latin things that have been Latinised. The most difficult ones are Chiss name. Three parts with a pronounceable core name? Hmmm I need to go back to english class. I got Yen'reerr'traa (not yet taken at that time) from random generator. I'd pronounce that as "yen rear trah".

Goreshaga Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Made a few new toons recently, had 0 problem naming any of them. Easy way : name + familly name, then unless you go for something really common / unoriginal, it's pretty unlikely someone came up with the exact same name combination for their characters. other easy way : game name generator + changing a few things when you find one you like, like changing / adding some letter, accents or punctuation or using 2 names from the game's name generator to creat a "complete" name. Chiss names are pretty easy too, as there are 3 parts in their names, it's even less likely someone is using the same combination as you. Lazy way, when i'm really out of imagination : slamming my keyboard with my hands and see what comes out, that's completely random and can gives some nice things.

Toraak Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 You must not have made a character in a while. It isn't hard to make a name for a character on this game. I haven't had any issues with that since they added the option for the space to be used in the names. That made it easy to make a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
