Great guide thanks for taking the time to make this !
my Goblin mage has the name: Grînch :P
Male Dwarf Hunter called Vanin.
Female Draenei Paladin called Danatharia.
Male Worgen Rogue called Mithridates.
I'm pretty happy actually, especially as I severely doubted that Mithridates, considering how awesome that name is, would be unused.
I was reading through the whole thing.
Then got to the point where he /bows to TotalBiscuit.
There was literally bile rising in my throat.

I dont see the need for accents over letters; or sentence names.. I have two "pun" names, but they're not overly obvious or obnoxius.
My Worgen Rogue is Malcanis.. Latin for "Bad dog". Mal:bad, canis:dog.
My Human Death Knight is Necromortus (misspelled, should be "is" not "us".), also Latin for "Death of Death". Necro:death, mortisf death.

One day I named a toon Videotape. Random decision, but it stuck.
Now all of my toons are tapes:
Videotape
Audiotape
Mixtape
Tapeworms
Tapes
Scotchtape
Electrictape
Cautiontape
etc.
Everyone just calls me "tape."
Now isn't THAT constructive feedback? Are you happy with this criticism? What exactly makes you think anyone wants to read your jealous reaction on someone who actually made a name for himself on the web? Whether or not you like the podcast, is it warranted for you to literally go puke over him? Do you even know him? Do you realize the guide's creator referred to his NAME, which he liked, not his work? No, probably not, because your view of the world is so clouded you only can see in negatives.
Anyway, nice guide. Considering the amount "dkdenmarkdk" there are, I guess a lot of people can use some imagination. I always know the name right when I'm finished creating my toon, I never really have to think about it.
Yeah I went with a theme too, my first toon on Khaz was Dreadbringer then along came BC and I had planned on rolling a Belf lock as a lock was my first toon on my old server and much to my surprise dreadlock was available (love seeing other locks with different spellings on my server) Had a hunter but didnt want him associated with the others but had his name changed to dreadjäger jäger being German for hunter, then dreadshifter although dreadybear would have been better, fatherdread kinda sounds like father ted, pally just got called dready as thats what my guild called me, DK fallendread, rogue dreadstabber and my goblin shammy is Everdready like the brand of battery
Perhaps you should consider adding a section on pet names?
It seems every hunter who has a wolf uses something like "Fang" and half the bear pets have to have the name of "Grizzly", ditto with "Fluffy" for cats. Then there are the comedians, I wish I had a dollar for every hunter that I've seen with a monkey called spank, spanks, spanky etc. Ok, it kind of got a few chuckles the first time, but after the tenth time you've group with a hunter spamming "Spanks the Monkey" emotes during battle, it gets a little old.
my rogue was originally a Gnome. Im a fan of Bruce Lee. To both go along with a popular Bruce Lee tactic, the fact that hes a ninja, and the fact that gnomes are short and rogues are lethal. I chose...

Hey, glad you liked it. [Oh, and rest assured - for the legit prize - it's sorted: I'm talking backstage with Boubouille about an Aston Martin, but we still disagree on the color, so it looks like I'm going to have to wait for a bit.]
Again, thank you guys for the warm feedback and the names you've added. Keep 'em coming!
Very nice guide, fun to read as well!
I usually have a semi hard time thinking of names that aren't already taken. But I think I've done a rather good job so far!
Paladin - Crimsonsteel (Crimson as in the color of blood, onto steel, and it's actually a weapon ingame)
Huntard - Katswiri (Came arcoss this name while watching a show on TV about Lions, a cub was called Katswiri, ment something like "the brave one")
Druid - Rawrmew (Orignally called Mewmew, but when I changed servers the name was taken, so I toke the next best for a feral druid, and it's an easy name for vent "Hey Rawr")
Warrior - Deflection ( Obviously ment for tanking, I usually like good sounding spell names or abilities / talents, this one stood out for tanking)
Mage - Pyrite (Apart from the newly added Pyrite ore and veins, this one was created before the Cata and the idea came from the first boss in Ulduar, where you need to shoot Pyrite on him, a fire spell. So fire mage equals fire spells)
Got some other random names, but I thought these were enough to mention
