Good names for characters

[123]

Go to the UESP wiki, search "Argonian Names" and then make some alternation on one of the 40-50 or so names.

 

[thatwudbryan]

Once had a Khajiit pure thief named I'jaucu, thought it was a purdy clever name

 

[Punz]

I named my characters after the ones in my favorite books, Bram Stoker's Dracula and The Historian.

Vlad Dracula - The name of the character Bram Stoker based his vampire on. Vlad III patronym name was Dracula, meaning son of Dracul (his father's sir name) or Son of the Dragon/Devil.

Mina Tepes - A play on Mina and Dracula's Movie romance, which never happen in the book. Tepes is the Romain for Impaler. Ex: Vlad The Impaler.

Harker - The sir name of Johnathan and Mina in Bram Stoker's Dracula.

 

[FlecheofSkyrim]

I named my Archer-Nord Fleche (pronounced as "flesh"), because that is the French word meaning "Arrow".

 

[Mighty Pecan Pie]

I named my female nord Reiki, I dunno what I was thinking at the moment. it's a bit unusual for a nord..

 

[Twiffle]

Hindu names are best

Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta

Venkatanarasimha Rajuvaripet

Maruthhur Gopalamenon Ramachandran

Singanlluru Puttaswamayya Mutthuraju

my wife is Tamil,, you want to try those names,, go on i dare you, ,

 

[Twiffle]

i have an orc warrior names Bam Bam (flintstones)

a kajhiit thief names four-fingers-kitkat

my current is a Nord names Gatticus Ferrum, , i had a serious moment, it wont happen again,

 

[Valin Oakthorn]

My Characters have always been Latin for something, or just random. Filius Lupus is Latin for son of the wolf, which i used since i roleplay as hircine's son. I also had a kajiit who was called Alri'x the beast, that kajiit took me 3 hours in character creation and looked like a wolf, it was amazing

 

[Wulfharth Dragon-Hearth]

i named my most favorite nord character with Wulfharth Dragon-Hearth,Wulfharth is the name of the Legendary God-Damn Powerfull undead who had died twice/or three times maybe,and Dragon-Hearth well i don't know i think it's just cool to be heard of......

 

[annelid]

I don't really think too much about it.

My male Wood Elf is called 'Annelid' (latin for Worm) and my female Nord is 'Morel' , which is a kind of mushroom, for no apparent reason.

 

[DrunkenMage]

Currently have three characters going.

Old Nord warrior, Kolvir Troll-Slayer.

Imperial Legate, Marcus Atilius Corvinus.

Dunmer Mage, Dralas.

 

[AS88]

Mine are mostly in my sig, although I've had many others over the time I've played Skyrim. I had a Khajiit named Ja'Kaasha, which was one of my favourite names for a character.

I've also just come up with a few more characters. An Imperial named Garrus Platorius, a Dunmer named Llevan Remeth, and a Nord named Iver the Lean.

 

[Thodas]

I generally go to the UESP wiki and use the name guides. It's important to me for my character to have a lore friendly name.

 

[copesauce]

I made my name Buliwif because its norse

 

[Two Bears]

Of my many characters, some greatest hits were a Nord named Tordiir Black-Bane, a Reachman named Morys, a High Rock Breton named Revel Gareau, an Orc named Kelbah gra-Shorma, a Dunmer named Felas Hlaalu and an Imperial named Thracius Mocius. So, yes, I always go for lore-friendly names.

 

[ShadowHunter]

A few of my names are: Stealth/Assassin Khajiit- S'thaar, Orc- Varok Saurfang, Nord- Perseus, and Redguard- Cyrus

 

[Finnsson]

My current four characters are:

Do-good Nord Warrior - Hallgeir Desert-Strider

Immoral Imperial Vampire - Sextus Petronius Casca

Sneaky Khajiit Thief/Assassin - Jo'Basha

Erratic Altmer Battlemage - Trish

Other than Trish, I try my best to follow lore.

 

[M@t]

This is completely random but it sounds good for characters. Not going to specify any race, but it'd work well for a name.
Kaivoti
This name popped up in a dream, it's all I remember. Nothing on the internet matches it as of now. It's pronounced "K-AY-vote-y.

 

[Perkless in Skyrim]

I swear I think naming a character is the hardest part. Every once in awhile inspiration hits me but usually I have to sit and think. Once I get a cool sounding name I tend to reuse it so I've had several warriors named Kor or other manly sounding names. I think Orcs and Khajiit are the only ones I make a serious effort at being lore friendly. And because I have one of THOSE senses of humor my Orcs nearly always have gro-Apair as their last name.

Raven Dark is my go-to for a female thief/assassin/vampire.

I must admit I'm rather proud of my latest, which not only sounds fitting as a fantasy name but has a double meaning. Say it fast.

Sirri Elk Killer.

 

[Nephor The Shadow Stalker]

I make mine up. Probably similar names or names that might already exist. Either way I don't look at sources nor do I just pull something out of my arse. I ponder what type of characters they are and then visualize a name for them. Lucien, Nephor, Zarak, Trista and Shevarah are just a few I've come up with that I'm writing about.
