Fun names, RP names, or Trolly names?

[Temp name]

I prefer RP names, I don't RP personally, but I just like the idea of having a name I would call my child instead of silly things.

[Kharli]

I try to use a back story and mind set behind my characters, so RP names, happens that i might make a funny-name character, but never a trollname character NEVER. I dislike even the thought of:bloodboilerz as a DK name.. or Coxingaround or something like that.
--Rp names---
Draenei Paladin:Lysandian
Orc Hunter:Nershala
Orc warrior:Nargrash
Worgen warrior:Varthimar
Worgen priest: Gilvar

---Fun names----
Dwarf Warlock - Stroodle

[Simulacrum]

Troll names are usually super overdone cliches and usually not funny, so they are not really appealing to me on any level.

They're my favourite kind of name; so bad that they become good. It's very hipster irony.

[Samaramon]

RP names.
I don't know about you, but I see this game as it is, an MMORPG. Anything that sounds silly or trollish is just stupid to me.

"Hey my wife had a baby, I think we'll name it xxDKARTHUSxx!"

I don't even get what goes through people's heads when they create a char and decide to name it that (or similar crap)

[coldbear]

Just keep your idea of hilarious or trolling names off the RP servers and we can all get along.

Add to that excessive high-ASCII names like Yÿùúéæñäêæåç - one or two, fine. A bunch is just a pain for anyone that wants to talk to you or invite you.

[Balazaar]

I like fun names, like my undead warrior, Rotbones

[Felarion]

Roleplay names of course. I can't stand if i see paladin which got a name like Bubblezomg, sweetelf etc..also i don't like name's with that strange letter's, for example Yÿùúéæñäêæåç . Most of my chars got rp name (at least i hope this names are fit to their race ), but got also one normal name, which is my dk, that i called Narcy. However im think about create Tauren Monk, and called him Bullee

Tauren: Ragehoof
Orcs: Agrisha, Narisha,Rhaznul,Gangar
Elves: Feltharion (But here my friend called me Fail-Tharion ), Norgarion

[Pony Soldier]

Well if video game characters count as fun names then I like fun names. I like to name my guys after my favorite video game characters and sometimes I'll make up some of it so it's looks more like a Warcraft name (example: Link from Legend of Zelda. I made a Blood Elf Paladin named Bloodlink Blood for the Blood Elf and Link for Legend of Zelda) I like RP names too but I'm not that good at making up names I'd be there for hours just trying to figure out a name.

Wow 52 voted for "RP" names. I presonally dislike those that name their chars "Arthas" or "Deathwing" or whatever RP name cos it lacks originality. I like Trolly names cos they make me laugh.

[Winterstrife]

RP/Fun names for me.
Fun names for me would often be puns about the class eg. Oprahwindfury

[Nobleshield]

With very few exceptions I always name characters something appropriate, not true lolrp names but not stupid either. Personally I hate seeing people with dumb names like "stabbyoazz" or "xxsaiyanxx", and I immediately consider these people to be immature children (even if they're adults). I have my share of names that I use which are puns or plays on words (hell my main is named Hackbar, so 1) He's a bloodthirsty Orc, 2) he's a bloodthirsty Warrior, and 3) a reference to Admiral Ackbar, especially since I run with the Bloodsail Admiral title) but in good taste.

I think the trolliest name I've used is going to be for my future monk, ironically a Troll named "Fumonchu". Otherwise I always pick names at least sound like they could be a real name. My rule of thumb is if it's not a name I could use in a "beer and pretzels" style D&D game, it doesn't belong in WoW (or any other fantasy MMORPG).

[Liara]

I hate trolly names.
Real names all the way (by real, I mean RP, not human names).
And Liara was around before ME, so it doesn't count as a fun name

That's not an "RP" name.

An RP name is a name, like my own name, that would fit in a fantasy story.

[Deleted]

That's not an "RP" name.

Was gonna say the same thing >_>

But RP names all the way, the other two just... ugh.. I also have a serious problem with people using letters with weird symbols on them, can't use the /who or a /w for "Västanfjärd" if I can only type the first letter >_<

[Samaramon]

For some reason I really dislike pun-names. Unless it's really clever...but still.

[Zaelsino]

I prefer RPish names. Or at least something mildly creative.

[judgementofantonidas]

Although I do not support roll play there should be no room in this game for names such as meiballzitch etc.

[Aviney]

Well, my main is Aviney, but I have a dwarf shaman named Funyun, a night elf rogue named Safeword, and a gnome priest named Pepperoncini and I'll have a panda monk named Bambooty.

Most of my characters have serious sounding names, like Aviney, Iradmi, Yeniva, Zeenik, and Laelm, but I wanted something not so serious for some of my characters.

[Fenixdown]

I'll use fun names on occasion, but my preference is RP names.

[Lylyth]

In WoW I use a mish-mash of fun name and RP names. Such as:

Fun:
Warlock - Impanada (Imp + Empanada)
Shaman - Shaleshocked (Shale is rock/earthy for dwarf, and shocked for Shaman shock spells)

RP:
Paladin - Fellheart
DK - Lillith (name of Adam's original wife in ancient mythology, who was banished from Eden)

I also has a few names after characters from books:
Priest - Coraline
Druid - Allanone (Allanon with an E. Yeah...creative, I know)
Mage - Delyrium (Delirium from The Sandman)

In GW2, though, I use strictly RP names because silly names don't fit in that world. On top of that, character creation is so in depth in GW2 that it feels silly to give a character named Bangbangbaby a back story (which you do in GW2).
