[Mr.Self Destruct]

What do guys think are good names for your characters in Skyrim?

As a guideline, I never have a character without a race specific name, so I don't have an Argonian called Fred, or a Nord named J'arzart etc.

I normally pic names from fiction, my username (Beran) was taken from Beranabus, a character in Darren Shan fiction. This makes it easier in my opinion.

I flog mine from important characters in the WH40K universe. Im a 40K lore addict.

 

[Baldr]

Use a Viking name, or a name from Norse mythology for a nord. The skyrim world is much the same as morse mythology. Look what elves were named

That's where I got Baldr


It's not how we fall which defines us but how we rise after falling

I named my Saxhleel (Argonian), Scar-Face. Because of these cool-looking scratch marks I put on his right cheek.

 

[Mystalvision]

Hindu names are best

Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta

Venkatanarasimha Rajuvaripet

Maruthhur Gopalamenon Ramachandran

Singanlluru Puttaswamayya Mutthuraju

All of my characters have been named after people from A Song of Ice and Fire. Rhaegar, Tyrek, and Renly are my three favorites.

 

[Quanah]

I named my character after Quanah Parker, the most intelligent and savage Indian Comanche Chief of all time. After reading Empire of the Summer Moon then playing Skyrim, I had no other choice.

My Khajiit Archer/Assassin/Thief is named Ja'Guar.

 

[MushroomGenius]

Khajiit = NineLives (cause well... cats have nine lives )
Altmer = Artemia (a play off of Artemis, though it's ironic that she shuns weapon use)

 

[Halkin]

my current is called Nagilum, its a reference to a Star Trek Next Generation character who is to be honest an extremely nasty piece of work.

generally my character dont really have anything to do with the game at hand or any specific influence, just whatever springs to mind at the time

Zenoh

I just made this name last night when starting WoW free to play to 20.

 

[Jaeger]

I got my elf name, Caelro, from here:

I got ny nord name by googling scandivian names. Roman names for imperials. Celtic names for Bretons. At the uesp, there are lists of names for khajit and algonians (and others) that have been in previous elder scrolls games.

 

[cmp007]

There was another thread about names and I think me and a buddy of mine are the only ones that took the funny name route. everyone elses is serious lol

 

[Krilot Sivaas Do Zoor]

My Orc is named Alkier. I don't recall where I got the name. I just remember sitting at the character creation screen trying to think of a name and it just kinda popped into my head.

 

[Professor Skalvar]

I was disappointed that the Skyrim Collector's Guide didn't have a list of name ideas. At least there's Tamriel Rebuilt to get name ideas from.

 

[Kanil Windmaker]

I used to have a half elf bard named Elfvis

 

[benathius]

may not believe this but its true .. i work in entertainment ,mostly circuses and growing up we used to look after tigers and my favorite was called kashmir so thats what iv called my khajiit

 

[Ravenna]

I prefer to stick to race specific names too. When I make an argonian, I usually make "translated names" for them, like alot of the argonians who claim their black marsh name is impossible to pronounce. My breton has a french name like the bretons in oblivion, rather than celtic.

 

[YOMAMA]

I have the lamest name ever. Named my High Elf Mage ''Phoenix''...Because I'm not creative with names
