How you make toons names and surnames?

[rotenvok]

This is what i do: I go to wikipedia and turn to finnish language or I search finnish songs

their words are large and weird and I dont know what they mean but they sound cool in my opinion, so I choose one and cut in half for name and surname

examples:

word: surutulitus
toon name: Suru
surname: Tulitus

word: kaivelevat
toon name: Kaive
surname: Levat

I name after old video games and songs that I like, usually.

No real logic here, just follow my heart.

I've been naming chars after food these last few years... Not sure what that says.

I’m always torn between making the name something “fantasy-ish” in keeping with the theme of the world, or making something funny/tongue-in-cheek. Analysis paralysis lately has left me with most of my characters having no surname at all, though. An account of Madonna’s.

Most of my characters had throwaway names until I made my SK on live. Cazic worshipping Erudite SK, so I anagram'ed some of the letters in Cazic Thule to make Elizuth, then went with Muramasa as a surname because he was a swordsmith said to make evil blades. Elizuth was the only toon I ever GM'ed blacksmithing on.

Current toon on teal is named Lobnor Feverheaver. My buddy in college had a D&D character named "Lobnor the Beaver Heaver" so he is named in his honor.

I find I put the most effort into the characters where I actually put thought into their name. Failed characters on live (most from when I was still a teenager) include Aystar Spatterblades, Zegzy Beast, Spamme Sandwiche, Ffurball Forgotten, and many many more.

I've been using the same 3-4 names in video games for like 15 years cause I have absolutely no creativity with character names. I'll legit sit and stare and the name field for 10 mins and just draw a blank for good names. If I need a new one, I'll usually just scroll through a random name generator and tweak one slightly that sounds decent.

In the Western fantasy tradition, some races have Gaelic-influenced names, others Nordic, Old English, or Latin. I like to skim through online dictionaries to get a feel for how words are structured in those languages. Then I piece together syllables that sound good together. After writing down maybe 20 or 30 ideas in a given language, I whittle it down to the most aesthetically pleasing words. Then I carve them up until I create the perfect name.

Ogres and Trolls are fun because their 'language' isn't rooted in any European dialect. I have a system where I omit certain consonants and vowels and limit the names to two syllables. It's really easy once you get a feel for it.

Gotta be careful what you name your toon. Lot of sensitive PC bitches that will tell on you if they don’t like it.

I often have a theme for each game. In Shadowbane I named all my characters after comedians, for example: Lenny the Bruce, Belushi theDeadOne, etc.
