[Benomatic]

Meurrig for my dwarf paladin and theoronin for my belf paladin

Can't remember the inspiration but just sounded right.

[Rad1um]

Blood Elf Paladin. Oldest living(still active) Paladin on my server. Name is SANSTUS.

So its wow generated -_- it was my first toon (still my main) and I umm. I didn't know we could type our own name. So I hit generate 1 time and POOF!

[ringpriest]

My Tauren paladin was named Holystein. Because pun.

[Sixnalia]

Acumenia

Because
Acumen
Noun
the ability to make good judgments and quick decisions, typically in a particular domain.

[MonsieuRoberts]

Tsumaki, Celph, Rhystia. All names of my own creation.

[Reica]

My female Spacegoat is called Reica, for no particular reason other than me really liking the name. I'm so original..

[DarthMonk79]

Human Paladin.... Madmartegan. Obvious Willow reference, one of my favorite movies growing up.

[Deleted]

'Zelotes', just like the term zealot, is one who is zealous in behalf of god, a religious fanatic if you will. Simon Zelotes is said to be one of the followers of jesus aswell, so there's that.

So my name basically screams retribution paladin which is exactly what I was aiming for

[Dyra]

Crivens - Taken from the Nac Mac Feegle battle cry from Terry Pratchett's books. The original intention was to PvP, so I had hoped seeing the name would instil fear on those of the opposing faction if they saw me coming. But that didn't pan out so well..... ^_^ In all honesty, the name itself is also better suited to a male Dwarf/Gnome/Goblin Fury Warrior. But then I really wanted the name, it to be Horde and a Paladin, so female Blood Elf it was.

[Garkanh]

in-game name dékaie

Orginally Deekay (duno why i though that was nice when i was a kid), but that was taken on the server i made my first character on.

later ofcourse, when deathknights were introduced, a lot of people named their character Deekay, so i'm glad i went with the other one.



Also, my draenei paladin, whom i made in BC, is named Maraat, because i misspelled Maraad xD

Then you happened to stumble upon some real history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Marat Was a radical during the French Revolution. Immortalized in painting for being assassinated in the bathtub. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Marat

My original Human Paladin name was "True". I found the RP behind the word appropriate. When I transferred, the name was taken. So my now-BE Paladin became Dictum; which directly translated means "word" but has the implication of "word of law" or "prophecy". Again obvious RP reference.

My newly rerolled Human Paladin has blond hair and will likely have golden armor. So I named him Auric.

[Jackielope]

My original name was "Ohholycrap" so I could chuckle at it now and then. I was a bit inspired by Jeff Dunham's Achmed singing "Oh holy crap, I think I blew my foot off."

Then it got reported because I was on an RP sever and I had to change it. I was thinking of Domo-kun at the time, so I just went with "Domokingu" and thus became "Domo" forever ever. It was annoying in Firelands talking about Majordomo Staghelm since his name was shortened to "Domo" as well.

[Angeliq]

Kharma named after a beloved family dog that has since passed.

[KhazzahK]

Sanctusar is latin for Holy One or something along those lines.

[Lethora]

Originally my paladin was human female. And she had a few names. First it was Supremacy, then I ran around with stupid "Ihealforcash", then there were couple others in between, and I ended up with the one I have now after I transferred to Stormscale to play with some of my friends.
I was (and still am) obsessed with Dragon/Titan lore, so I was thinking along those lines when I created a name. I liked Lethon, one of corrupted Emerald Dream portal guardians. Since my char gender was different from the dragon's, I added "-a" in the end. Lethona didn't sound well. I experimented a bit with second-to-last letter and ended up with Lethora.

[BobAwesome]

Voltyrius,

Tyr, from Tyrael and Tyr the Titan Watcher. ius from Imperius. Put Vol at the beginning so people could just say Volt or Volty.

[Aeryana]

Kerrigan.

Used to play StarCraft with my boyfriend. Would always backstab him at the end -- I look to her as my patron saint after what she did to Duke and Fenix.

[strikes91]

[Matt0193]

Fabularis, Latin for Fabulous or Legendary depending on the context.

[Kanael]
