Oh man those random names are terrible.

Here's my source of Character names:

Use it well. Note, most of the good ones are taken... by me.

Tomato or Propofol... which is more original ??

I have to say that all my toons names are generated.
Aaemo doesn't mean that I like emo music
Borbama is not a Obama-bashing Troll

Too late, I'm already drafting my bug report.

I know some people who make it their business to squat on choice names and charge pp to release them...I don't agree with this practice and would never do it myself, though.

Personally I tend to use either generated names or meaningful real ones in other languages.

I choose names that derive from whatever ideas I am ruminating about, whether it's a movie, a song, a musician, historical figures, or my cats, really it's neverending the names I can think of.

One thing I never do is choose a computer-generated name though. I just can't see creating a name I have no feelings or connection with.

I scored a pretty cool name for one of my toons awhile ago, before I even hit level 10, I got a tell from someone who wanted to "Buy it" from me. They offered me 2000pp to any toon I wanted to sell it to them, I declined.

I know this makes people curious about the name, but I'd rather not say, but I was shocked it wasn't taken.

There are good names available, you just have to use some imagination.

I've been playing with /shownames off and find that it helps with my immersion.

Although I wish there was some way to hide just my name only.

What names are you guys trying to register? Is everyone trying to be Legolas or Gimli or some really common name? I joined in 2015 and between 2015 and 2016 I found plenty of good names that were open and I squatted on half a dozen to use for future characters.
