i know this sounds dumb but i was just wondering if you can make a first and last name like guild wars.

thatd be cool

I didnt like the whole first and last name thing.

I'm not sure why just annoyed me trying to think of 2 names hard enough thinkin of one that suits your character never mind two lol.

you really find it that hard to think of a name? just sit back and use your imagination. imo its easier to actually think of first and last name because alot of names sound funny just by itself. (ex. dragonbane ; rhya dragonbane) just sounds more awesome with a first name.

dunno mate just don't like it sorry lol.

i meant no offense in my reply, sorry if it sounded that way.

mmonkey = Faemus Reignbringer

I hope it will allow me to put Caps on the second word of name... example: BarakaWind

if i cant put BloodBaraka..... allow me to put Blood Baraka

if i cant put DarkSolomus..... allow me to put Dark Solomus

if i cant put RedSonyee..... allow me to put Red Sonyee

if i cant put XiaoNu..... allow me to put Xiao Nu

if i cant put  SinaWolf.... allow me to put Sina Wolf

ect......

Are you kidding?  This is the first big obstacle when I play a game.  If I can't think of a name that I'm happy with, I won't play the character.  In fact, I have sat in front of the computer, staring at a character creation screen for hours, just thinking of a name.  In WoW, I up and deleted my 34 druid because her name struck me funny one day.  Maybe I'm OCD too.  That could have something to do with it.

I agree with you about matching up everything with last names. Even in games that don't allow last names.  It makes it sound more complete.  One of the reasons I loved DAoC was because at level 10 you could /lastname a last name for yourself.  Too bad many other games don't allow such a thing.  Everyone is bringing in titles and aliases.  Give me last names first, please.

youre right it can be tough sometimes to think to a name. They should just do what they did in guild wars as fara s names go, but allow people to have one word names if they want to as well. (i cant remember if guild wars forced at least 2 words or not)

It would be cool if they made last name optional, and changeable.

I believe they stated at one point they'd like to have that. But I doubt it will be at character creation, probably something you get after a certain point, like LOTRO or EQ2...They're adding alot of extra elements to this game, like that....So I'd definantly think they will add surnames.

nice

I like the idea of 2 names, and I too am mad with having to have my name just right. I even do it with forum posts, hence the editing. In GW, i made a ranger called Xavier Bowstorm, without realising a storm bow existed. creepy, but if i had the chance to change it, i would.

After the wave of people playing the game with dervishes called X Derv Of Death X or something as unimaginatively STUPID as that, my taste in good names has changed a lot. My latest character, a Mesmer, is called Soradir Attero, "attero" being latin for.......something.

I'm also liking the name Shrike Valeo, shrike being a random name i liked from a past game (Red Faction 2) and Valeo following the trend of being latin for something I forget. If anyone steals it, I'll have your head!

Plus, in GW, its possible to make names like "D E R V I S H", because you need at least 2 words, but technically, all you need at least 1 space between what you've put

Anyhoo......to conclude, 2 names ftw, but people will sill be making pathetic names that they deserve to be shot for. just gives more potential for those of us with imagination

ugh god i hate names like that too...i dont know why it really shouldnt bother me but for some reason it feels like it takes away from the game a little for me when i see a name like "smokerogue" or "roflnoob"
