I first happened on this thread when there was only 5 pages in it. I thought to myself..."It's a really neat thread, but it's sure to end soon. There's no way this Riis guy can keep this up".


Well, here's hoping you do at least one more page...


Shamgarr -- Wookiee Commando


Xsao -- His Rodian, Bounty Hunter friend


---


Wingus Rhaz'mtazz -- Human Entertainer/Doctor


Dingus Rhaz'mtazz -- his musical brother.



Thanks for this vastly entertaining thread!

By the way, could you post a link to any of your publications regarding Star Wars names?

Well, lets throw mine in shall we? I'm Newmoon Tirgwystraff. Human. I have used Newmoon since high school D&D, about 25 years ago Tirgwystraff is actually spelt Tyrgwystraff, which is an old welsh word for "wasteland" mentioned in the Mabinogion. I changed the spelling slightly to the more anglicizedversion, so it would be easier for others to see how to pronounce it. I like the way it sounds, with the rolling r.. not to mention, it makes sense on Tattooine! It actually comes out to Newmoon the Wastelander.

Glad you liked the name Riis, I was going for a name that people would remember. I think the awkwardness plays into it a bit. Thanks for the great post.

Here's a smattering of names (10) from Page 17. Hopefully I can do more tonight.



Crenago Seipties


Well, from a sound standpoint, it's fine. It'll do as a Zabrak name.


Woden Xezzon


Woden, eh? Well, mythological figures are not really the best bets for inclusion in another culture's myths (which is the intent of Star Wars), but I give you credit for trying. Xezzon is a little too "X" and "z" for me...perhaps we can keep the "x" and replace the "z"s: Xesson. Much better in my eyes.


Ki-Wi Agua-Melonne


Woo, another super hyphenated name. I guess the first name would be fine (though a little fruity), especially for a human (less so for your chosen species), but the "watermelon" thing you have going in the last name is over the line. You can protest melon nerfage elsewhere .


Kerzor Eversin


Good name. I'll support this for a Zabrak, but feel it could be a little too human.


"Dunno if you picket it up from pages and pages back...but Duo Maxwell is a Gundam Wing (anime) character and that "Luckdragon" namescreamed of The NeverEnding Story."


One of the hazards of my position is that I WILL miss various references. I am not an Anime fan (nobody's perfect, I know) so some of those will slip past me (but not all...I have a good memory, and have seen a fair amount of anime under duress). The Luckdragon thing is noted. I did catch this one, but didn't want to bring that movie up. I loved it as a kid, but looking at it now...well, the movie was a product of it's times.


Veritanil Ovak


Well, one name thing, like you said, but I have another solution. The first name is an Old Corellian word for "Truthspeaker" and is a nickname/title conferred on him for his, well, extreme honesty. His Calamari name is Ovak. Problem solved.


Nerire E'Nel


Star Wars Galaxies needs more families. You should find this person and come up with a little background, just for kicks. The name works fine, though the first name could use a little tightening up, in what direction I am unsure, but maybe shortened to Nerir, or Nerirel. I like the random last name.


Ecco Rhe'yka


Do I know the first name reference, well, depends on what reference! European Cannibis Consumers Organization? The Latin word lends itself to many things, I see! The last name is a good Bothan name.


Abarri


A little too clean sounding for a Wookiee name, but it beats Chewintabacca. Maybe some lengthening will make it even better.


Cybel


Go with the stage name thing, in which case, make sure you play up the "Sybil" thing.


Khendeth L'indarra


I think you have good enough instincts for a good sounding name. In reality, for humans, the Star Wars universe is a very large one for appropriate names. If I do this for Middle Earth Online, I won't be able to be nearly so accomodating. That being said, the name tends toward the French in the last name, but it looks like you weren't intending this. I really like the first name.



Unfortunately, the weekend, she calls me. I will try to do some more Page 17 names tonight, and see where we go from there.
