Jandris

My name is easy Jan - dris (as in is).
A random name select & the first one that came up that I could actually pronounce  ;D
I put very little thought into this name as I started wow on a dare from my son & who cares what I was called as I would be deleting the character in a week at most. Oh well - live & learn.

Miriel

Miriel  - Mir/ee/elle  Yes, I am a geek...sigh...Miriel was the name of my favorite Dungeons and Dragons character, lol.  Miriel was also the name of my Inquisitor in EQ2, where I met this other geek named Krieg.  :snowman_smiley:

Morwen was the name of a much beloved cat I had had for 15 years.   :'(

Depressing-Ven-ge-ance

Caedryne

Caedyrne = Celtic for warrior  - Kay - drin

Kothnok

Kothnok: just as it sounds.
I'm in the same boat as Jandris with him as I was creating characters on several servers, playing a few hours and making another.  Alex was up a whole 5 minutes when I logged in, made a character and played a bit.  Never expected he'd go the distance. :)

Navar: Na-var
one of the characters from Lady Hawk.  Cool guy.

Thogryn: Tho-grin
I used a "y" because the "i" version was already taken.  Back in my role playing days, whenever I had a dwarven character around, he was named this.  No references, just sounds dwarven.

Marnok: Mar-nok
I wanted a nod to Kothnok and yet sounded like a powerful wizard.

*laughs* I guess I don't pick names that are hard to pronounce.
No matter how often you refill the gene pool, there's always a shallow end.

Luise

Well I am in the same boat as Jandris- thought I'd just check out the game the kids were playing. And as I have such a bad memory I thought I'd just give the character my real first name- Louise.  That was taken- so I went for the Dutch version- Luise - pronounced "Loosh" (with a Dutch accent) in rl- It means "brave warrior"- so it sort of suits my character anyway.

Well you all are so clever - this is a great thread. I knew about Shadow's names which I love, and Lyte and Darq's were straight forward, but some of the others- well it's been great.

And Koth- I loved that movie Lady Hawk.

And Uso- I've been saying your name incorrectly.

Got yours right Muri- must be the Aussie connection :)

And TB- there's more to your name isn't there?  ;) P.S. I love your alt name: "Checkmate" - perfect rogue name.





Darkling

There is more to Thingiebob, but it is of an adult nature I can't explain here.

Darkling came from this cheesy horror movie where this guy had to kill a demon baby named 'The Darkling.' Actually, I think that was the name of the movie too. I don't know cause I caught it on Sci-Fi around 2 a.m.

Chekmate, well, think chess and strategy.

Hiyas, should be self explanatory on that one.

Should be creating a new alt soon. Dranei shadow priest is what I am going to looking at. 'Slapindaface' is the name I'm thinking of for her.

I saw an UD lock on Spirestone named "Soulboner" once. Heheh.  ]:D

Odjia

Odjia    some of you might think its that stupid board to talk to spirits, but sorry its not. It's "Ohd-ja"

Caedryne

Ima kinda confused Ima, about how you pronounce your names. For example is it "Ima" as in "Ima in the Dharq about this". Or perhaps the "i" is pronounced "ee" as in 
"eee  Ma not asparagus for dinner again".  Or maybe it's a silent "i" as in "Ma, I'm a not cleaning my room".

Then there's Christine. Is that the Christine from Stephen King's movie, or maybe it's pronounced "Chris tyne"  as in the word tine which means fork and Ima shuddering to think what you did with to Chris with a fork. Shades of Hannibal Lector.

And finally Lyte - Ima thinking maybe it's "lite" as in "lite beer" or the "e" is silent as it could be "Lit" as I lit up Dharq's life.

Ima, Ima wondering if you could shed some Lyte on this as Ima finding it exasperating.
