I'll say this. The majority of players I've seen in game, a good 75-80% or so, possibly more, seem to simply be using randomized names. So it doesn't seem like a lot of people try to come up with a creative name of their own, they just let the game generate one for them.

Is this because of the strict guidelines on naming policy, or just laziness?

Main toon on live, Elizuth (ERU SK) was named because I anagram'ed a few letters from "Cazic Thule" and then added a few to make it a real name. Surname Muramasa came from some Wikipedia wormhole action on the word, reading the legend behind said Japanese sword smith, and going with that. Then proceeded to GM blacksmithing as one of the few Erudite GM smiths on Quellious/Rodcet.

Current toon, Lobnor, was named after a friend of mine's made-up character "Lobnor, the Beaver Heaver" a hilarious barbarian type that would throw beavers as a method of attack. Naming filter wouldn't let me put "beaver" in my surname, but as a shaman I felt "Feverheaver" was a good homage. Said friend died of a heart attack last December (at 34 no less. Watch what you eat and drink, folks) so now I am firmly locked into taking him to 60 and getting epic in his honor.

But I've had goofy toon names, too. Spamme Sandwiche the monk (melee spam, get it?), Ffurball Forgotten the Vah Shir bard, Dijay Dissension the Half-elf bard, Zegzy Beazt the Ikky beastlord, etc. I have definitely noticed more time and energy went into toons I came up with REAL names for than the goofy-ass ones.

Anyone else got cool toon name stories?
