I'd like to say one of my own...but I can't. He's still alive and modern, and I don't want people to know. :D

I liked the name I had for my character. Or well I liked two of them.

Dapre Tera and Eunectes Boidae. I can only name those because I don't really pay attention to character names :D , but I'm with Jos with liking names with z's, x's, w's, c's et cetera in them. Also names that are derived from something (like Eunectes Boidae: eunectes = latin for anaconda - boidae = "a family of non-venomous snakes found in the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia and some Pacific Islands.").

I did like Faera Naebo also, but somehow that didn't appeal to me as much

I actually named one of my first characters after the Japanese Giant Salamander :wink: .

Some of mine I always liked the name: Arrav Alavar, Nara Sivoz and, don't know why, Danny Shovel.


As for other names, I liked Jacqueline Williams and her boyfriend had an awesome name I forgot. And Ebby Nightengale touched me just for the name.

I usually cheat with creating names by using the Fantasy Name Generator :) (Also used for many location names on newer islands in Cantr.)

Me too. I like http://nine.frenchboys.net, not least because of its URL. :wink:

The detailed character generator is pretty awesome too.
