It is entirely subjective. I'm spend large amounts of time trying to come up with the perfect name for my character and If I look hard enough, every name has a flaw in It, everyones, not just ones I make up personally.

Sure, there are names that are really lame or completely out of place but I'm not talking about those. I'm talking about regular and acceptable fantasy names with a unique, original and creative flavor.

I've seen names that I would personally consider cooler than others even though they are on the same vibratory wave length. But that's besides the point.

It's personal taste.


 

depends on what names you choose ^^

Demonskull, Healbotter, Killyoudead, Blackhawk, Darkhawk, Skullcrusher, Nightblade, Darkblade, Bloodblade, Bloodhawk, Bloodskull, Skullblood, Darkblood and Bloodydark

don't have subtile, inherent flaws... they just suck.

Cool names are - in my book - names that seem like the actual character's parents could have given the name to their child. Like Morveth for a dark elf or Hinrich for a human paladin,...

 i think names like dickhertz are pretty cool 

There is no such thing as NO!

Why? Because I say so!

What is cool is entirely subjective.  So how can you draw conclusions.  You're not the only judge of cool.

That's one of my points exactly.

 No.. I think the OP is wrong, there is a perfect - cool - character name.  Its MoonBear5.   Best name ever, its got your moon group, your bear group, and your number group all in one. The only one cooler is CaptainBananaHammock for a super hero game. 

BUT NO, those are the only 2 perfect names, and that is so totally the truth.

I still think that playing FFXI I saw the best name ever. It was a Mithra (a cat-woman race) named Selinakyle ... people failing to see the irony ... Selina Kyle = Catwoman ... >.>

Why did you post this? It seems so random, if unprovoked. Will this be the first in a series? With the next posts having topics like 'There is no such thing as cool music', or 'there is no such thing as cool movies'?

Its easier to get a cool name you like if more MMO';s went to a 1st and last name process like Eve and Fallen Earth.

(fires plunger at Rayman while using the can......AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

I want a spinoff thread where people just state their favorite character names, just for fun.  Nope, no perfect names, but there are some really amusing one's out there. 

Bilbo Teabaggins is universal an awesome name. lol

I don't know about you but my name is totally fucking rad.

Moonbear5....ROFL my stomach was hurting so bad. Im good now tho. I think it is cool characters tho. I usually choose historical names or names that have a meaning. It dosent make a difference but i just like to kinda relate to my character i guess u can say.

Eve and Fallen Earth seem like they would need a two name system a lot more than a lot of the other mmos, because they each have all the players on one big server. Another game that had two names that could be added to the list is Guild Wars. With most mmos being broken up into smaller servers to spread the population out two names isn't needed as much. I do agree though that it would be easy to add two names into the game for everyone, and allow for more name freedom.

Sorry but your wrong.  My name is perfect haha :)

Sorry I disagree with the OP. There is perfect names for characters. In World Of Warcraft  I have a pink tutu haired fairy gnome who is a pimp daddy warrior! His name of course is "IRONBALLS!    True.....Perfection!!!

I personally find the name of your character in MMORPG's an important and unique aspect of this genre. And I personally have found coming up with the perfect name or a cool name that I can agree on for a long period of time, nearly impossible.

To some of us, names actually have a certain level of importance.

Maybe not to you, but to some of us It is an important aspect of the overall atmosphere, immersion and likeness of our own MMORPG characters.
