Naming items you want to enchant

[Touchstone]

Do you play dark elf maybe?

No dice. I'm a Nord, actually. More fun to be unexpected. ^.^

Quite reasonable assumption. My vague backstory sounds a little like Sapphire's, actually, with the same sort of "not my real name" thing. And the character looks like Mila Jojovitch and the lady who played Kara Thrace had an insane child.

LOL.

When I name items, I think about lore, but I balance it with the items strength. For instance, if I have a favorite trainer and make a modest ring or necklace that enhances whatever stat they train in, I may name it after them (Rashonan's Blacksmithing Gloves or Faendal's Apprentice Ring). I save the heftier items to name after a daedric god or goddess.
There are times few and far between when I create an item or spell from a specific reason and name it for that reason. As a thief, I use little magic, but magic is necessary in some cases, especially in of ghosts. A strong fire spell tuned to my own abilities simply gets named 'Ghostbuster'. It goes with lore, but also has a pop culture spin on it. It is funny to see the white mages shoes in Oblivion, the icon for them looks a lot like Chucks (Converse), occasionally I'll break the mold and have a little fun. Less is more when it happens less often and is suitable.
Sticking with the lore is really a good way to go, it fits the role playing genre well.
