    Any have name themes

    I wonder does any one here name all their characters based on a single theme, like me i use Red vs Blue as my theme Blarglord, Cáboose, Gríf, Dòc... and so on and so on. I haven't used Tex mainly cause i live there and its way to stereotypical.

    Usually my names are related to the class. Barrels for my monk, Thrust for my rogue, Santorum for my warlock.

    My mains name is Noorri, and all my alts are variations on that. Naarri, Nuurri, Moorri etc.

    Though I named my rogue Eazye, I found a good idea to name other classes, their names will be from astronomy, like:
    Antares, Aldebaran, Vega, Sagittarius, Castor, Pollux etc.

    Don't really have a theme, but I like all my characters to have names that sound like they could be a proper name for that race.

    Three of my characters are named after Game of Thrones characters (Velaryon, Santagar, Melisandre), my old main is named the same as my MMO-C name, my warrior has a unisex name. I tend to fit the character/class to the name or use unisex names. I try to use names that are easily pronounceable to make it less of a hassle for guildies but most of the time they just call me Mes anyways lol.

    Quick edit: If I ever have troubles trying to pick a name I consult 20000-names and pick something from there (like my monks name :3)

    I named my druid night elf druid, Aeonidus, my human rogue, Swearengen, goblin rogue Paibok, dwarf paladin and priest Merruig and Ordrig, Troll priest Swejin, undead warlock Yirosk, human mage Emberius, human hunter Gudovan and blood elf mage Latheosin. Each sounding as close to a "real" name in a fantasy setting and sound authentic when pronounced

    I used Zodiac Signs for my characters in SWTOR.

    Yes. I got interested in WoW from playing 'Warhammer: Dawn of War'. They have somewhat similar artwork, and When I started playing, friends were playing Horde, so I played around with the character creation screen, and liked the Orcs the most of the classic races. I made an Orc male named Waargh, from the WH: DoW Ork "WAAAGH!" banners in that game. I think he was a warrior, or hunter. I played around with him for a bit, and decided to make a family of Orcs, one of each class. Next I started making female Orcs: Waaghra, Waaghrena, Waraaghara, Waaragha and Waaraghra, and deleted the male. When they added DK's, I made Waaghrella, and then Waaghranna, my mage. Finally, I rounded out the clan with Waagharia, the monk. To complete the classes in BC, I had a BE paladin named Quelthalana and Troll priest named Morgeena, and a mage Moreganna that became Waaghranna. I had a Tauren druid named Oxana, and wanted to simplify all the classes to 2 races, so I changed the paladin and priest to Tauren and renamed them Oxara and Oxonya, and got a second account and added Moximo, Moxen, Moxwell and Oxandra to the mix. The Tauren names being a cross between Man and Ox(en).

    All of my characters that I play regularly are either Japanese or a reference to something Japanese.

    Warrior Ephriam, Main character of Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
    Paladin Kalcifur, Fire Demon from Studio Ghibli movie "Howl's Moving Castle"
    Rogue Tsunayoshi, Main character from Anime Series "Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn"
    Naftc, "Hunters are the cheapest class in game and when played right are more deadly than a train plowing through a field of bunnies covered in napalm"

    When I first started gaming I joined a friends wc3 clan named "Hunting" so I ended up using "Hunting-Bear" as a gamer tag, that was 13-14 years ago or something. Now it's mainly "Bear" but I still have alt(s) with the Hunting-Bear tag, it's nostalgic reminds me of how bad I was when I started out.
    I remember my very first lan with my parents computers when I was 10, CS 1.6 with 4000ms and roughly 0.4 fps, ended up borrowing a friends dads computer for the weekend. Still one of the best "early gamer" memories I have, damn you thread... didn't want to go on the nostalgia trip today. *tears up*

    In Rift I first started using a theme, with all my toons using the prefix Vay: Vaydron, Vaydrax, Vaydros, Vaydram, etc.

    In WoW I used to give each character a unique name but now I've started a simpler approach: My old main was named Arothand, as is my handle, so when I faction changed my paladin to switch mains I used an anagram of that and came up with Tharando. I have a list with a few more anagrams but I don't tend to make many alts so having a handful should serve me well. I haven't renamed my Warlock (I chose Marbas because it was the name of a demon associated with diseases; seemed quite Warlock-y) because I don't really play him anymore so it would be a waste of money.

    For most of my characters, it's a sort-of theme, depending on server.

    On my main Horde server, all of my characters have names based on or modified from the auto-generator names: Warashne, Rexig, Valexanie, Aralistra, Tergra, Grudur. My two trolls are a sort of chain-reference; I started on Dalaran originally and made a shaman named Ouga. Then he got remade on Steamwheedle, and I made his sister and named her Chakkah. Blue trolls, soft fur that I've heard as compared to suede, which is close enough to pun off of Swede. My warrior, Schtor, was originally named Zomgwut because that was, more or less, what he said to the old Starting NPC for Forsaken pre-Cata - "Zom...guh...what?!?" was his response to the 'Blah blah walking corpse blah blah self-determination blah blah go kill stuff' spiel. Zom G. Wat was what was on his name tag, and that's what he stuck with until someone got their knickers in a twist and reported the name: evidently, RP is only allowed to be serious. Pokmi is an exception due to a theme that was decided on the moment I saw the specs for monks - while everyone went with the typical Chinese or Japanese sounding names, I took the more faux-Korean approach, which is why her proper name is Nao Pok Mi. This also led to making her family - older rogue sister Nao Pok Yuu, older warrior brother Nao Kil Yu, younger shaman brother Nao Hae Chu, baby sister priestess Nao Hael Yu, family patriarch who took his wife's family name, formerly Wa Chu'an, now Nao Wa Chu'a, and the matriarch is just Lady Nao, also known as Nao Nao because why not.

    Alliance side, puns are more prevalent, unless they're obscure video game references. Coeam is from a code from Dungeon Explorer for TG-16, Spanner is my rogue I don't care much for 'cause he's always wrong for my mood. Alpaca was my bank alt that gained inexplicable affection because I made him and deemed him too small to be a 'mule'. Fnord, you aren't cleared for that. Eiskolbyr is a Rule 63 of another character from another game I played, named for 'what every man wants'. Zarre was an auto-gen, while Kazae is a name I carry from game to game. Eikrad was made in response to all the controversy over 'zOMG WORGEN SPELLED BACKWARDS' that happened. Eazak is more than just my fave character name backwards - he's the antithesis of the other character, and it works rather well for a Worgen, even with Sdrawkcab naming. And given my fondness of characters with familial ties, I made two Night elf sisters; Venusta and Sineisis, whom I misspelled from Sinensis.

    Other characters not mentioned in my sig - a gnomish monk named Twoinchpunch, a pair of draenei siblings named Debde and Debda (another Dungen Explorer reference), tauren brothers named Muzen and Zenmu (monk and hunter), a gnomish warrior named Ayepeecee who is too small to be a tank but bad enough to CARRY YOUR HINDQUARTERS (ahem), and a slew of other who I can't think of right now, save for the roommate and I making a pair of human monks with mullets named Billylee and Jimmylee.
