How you make toons names and surnames?
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. |
most of mine are bad jokes

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.
