Best joke name for a female character ever conceived: PMSkimo. Full credit goes to my best friend, but I wish I could claim it as mine.


My main character is mostly going for Commando, but has dancing skills on the side. Name? Mikhael Jekksen. SW-ified King of Pop. I do a lot of "OW!" and "/emote grabs his crotch". Plus I have the black leather/red highlights outfit from the Bad video. Hit with the ladies.


As astudent of Attic Greek, if I ever made a truly serious character (although good ol' Mikhael is turning more serious by the minute), I'd definitely use a transliterated Greek word. Aletheia, Greek for "truth," would be a GREAT name for a female Jedi. (If I finally unlock my FS slot and someone has taken the name, I will be PISSED.) Achilleusfor any kind of brawler (actually, most appropriately a master brawler), Leonidas for a brawler/squad leader (Spartan king at Thermopylae, actually Leonidas Thermopylae would be an interesting name...),Hektor for a creature handler (Hektor, breaker of horses, his Homeric epithet), Dzeus or D'Zeus would be great for a rifleman or bounty hunter - lightning from afar, of course (The "dz" sound is the proper phonome for the Greek letter zeta, not just a "z").


Other great transliterated Greek words for names, if you want suggestions (and feel free to take these and use them if you want, I don't have a copyright on Greek):


Aischros, base or shameful; Kalon, noble or beautiful; Agathon, good; Chronos, time (although I bet that one's taken already); Arete, virtue; Kakos, evil; Aristos, best or first; Andreios, manly or strong or brave; Thanatos, death (also probably taken); Fulax or Phulax, guardian; Dikaios, just; Adikos, unjust; Basileus, king; Archon, ruler; Logos, speech or reasoned account; Klawps, thief (think klep-, like kleptomaniac); Polemos, war; Ploutos, wealth (think plutocracy); Sophia or Sofia, wisdom (now you know where THAT name comes from).


The best thing about these Greek words is that they translate into Star Warsian very easily, if they don't sound Star Warsian enough already. Just take the first one, Aischros; you could make that Ais'chros, Aiskkros, Aiskrross (for a Trandoshan, perhaps), whatever you want. And you can mix and match to get a first and last name.


P.S. Quick and very incomplete pronunciation guide: "ou" is pronounced "oo" not "ow"; "ch" is hard as in "Loch Ness monster", notaspirated as in "chili"; "o"s are pronounced with an "aw" sound; "a"s not in a diphthong are pronounced with an "ah" sound. Also, any adjective (Aischros, Kalon, etc., but NOT Chronos, Thanatos etc.) with an -os or -on ending can be changed to -os or -on at will. That is, Aischros can be Aischron, or Kalon made Kalos. In the end, though, these are just springboards for names and not a grammar exam, so you can really do whatever you want.


Sorry this was so long. Didn't mean for it to be when I started out.
