Paladins! Share your name origins

[Sarcon]

When I first started playing, I was still pretty young. Thinking I was clever, I named my character "Gonads." I leveled all the way to 70 and then a few weeks later Wrath came out. I managed to get to 80 and raid with my guild for a few months before I finally got flagged and had to change it. I had no idea why I thought "Bignads" would go unnoticed. A couple days later I logged in to a pally named "Lorithution."

One of the officers in our raid always had another account in vent that would play music for us. Him and I both quite enjoyed Phil Collins, and the song "Sussudio" was one that came on often. So after my paladin had it's name changed to something I couldn't even pronounce, I decided to see if the name Sussudio was available. Low and behold it was, so I dropped $15 dollars for a character re-customization to make my paladin a female named Sussudio.

Unfortunately I recently transferred to a high-pop server and the name wasn't available anymore, so I just made up "Vitira" on the spot. I don't love her the same, anymore.

That was back in TBC and the Paladin still has the same name.

Whenever I create a new character, I look around the room to come up with something. My Paladin's name is Wenneker, my parents had some dutch friends visiting and I got a bottle of this:


It tastes so fucking awful, there is still some left in the bottle. And I am known for being able to drink any alcohol beverages out there.

You are lucky, people get flagged for namechange for much less than "dick".
