On Valcyn I've seen Filet O'Fish (Mon Calamari, of course) and Satchmo, short wookiee entertainer.
Let's see what anyone thinks of my name.
Othala Moore
My character is a black female and I came up with the name by making up a play on the Shakespearan character Othello who by the way happens to be a Moor.
CM / Pistoleer
Ahazi
My father flew f94 in the Korean War. The codename for F94s is Starfire. I needed a name that went with starfire. I was thinking along the lines of just calling myself Jet Starfire but then it hit me. I remembered Jecht from FFX. You got to admit the name is extremely Star Wars-y. Yet it has personel meaning to it.
One thing that made me mad probably a month into playing the game I met a newbe (cdef, original marksman clothing, same hairstyle with color, and same glasses with color). Looked like I was looking into a mirror. Guess what his name was Six'guns Starfire. I told him hay you stold my name or we must be related (putting a little rping to the game). He comes back with "Nay tis my name." Oh my god, go back to Everquest where you belong.
I would love to hear Princess Leah say "Oh my heart thus swayith to thine couragous Rebellion." I bet a mil that Star Wars wouldn't be as popular as it is now. Oh sorry had to vent!
Jecht Starfire
This may be tootin' my own horn, but I think I chose a good Star Wars Galaxy-type name for my Bothan character. It is Talon Veyk.
What do you think?
From the thread description I thought yiu was supposed to suggest names you've seen other players using that looked cool, not go "no, no mine's best". Anyway here are my names.
Ithacus Elshadan : Male, Human, Bounty Hunter : Tempest (WhenI used it on beta somebody said it was a cool name, plus its been my RPG name for about 13 years)
Jarylle : Male, Rodain, Musician, Entertainer, Armoursmith :Eclipse(not really sure if it's Rodain sounding but I like it)
Wistrik : Male, Rodian, Droid Engineer, Carbineer, Artisan : Starsider ( it is appropriate for a Rodian name as I checked by using the random name generator to see if it was viable)
Your name about 8/10 cause you get soem absoulutley bizzare ones from the random generator.
Hey everybody, from the creator of Good Names. Man I wish I wouldve thought of that one.,as advertised on the community newletter, comes Rate-A-Name. Here's how this goes, place up to three names (doesn't matter if they are yours or not), then place the species and profession (if available) of the character. After that I will rate all the names (at least as many as I can) according to three scales; the Star Wars Scale (SWS), the Species Scale (SS), and the Profession Scale (PS). Then everyFriday I will place...
The Name of the Week
...so do you think your name is straight out of Star Wars, place it here. Good Luck.
RULES
1. Please understand this is my opinion, if I give you a score you do not like please don't flame, again, it's my opinion. PLEASE NO FLAMES
2. Please only use standard font, I want The Name of the Week to stick out, and I don't want to be flooded with big letters and wierd colors, if you write in anything but standard font (medium size, white) your name will not be rated.
3. To make it easier for me please place the names (with their info) at the beginning of your post, it will probably not be rated otherwise.
4. Thank you for following these easy rules, go ahead and place your name now.
