The Most Difficult Part of Multiboxing is...

[kadaan]

... picking the names .

Picked up a third copy today and registered KeyClone. Gonna do a Prot Pally + Hunter + Shaman (not sure on spec yet). I wanted to do Pally+Hunter+Warlock since those are the only 3 classes I've never gotten to 60, but I wanted to stay with friends on Alliance and none of the Alliance races can be all three. So Draenei Pally/Hunter/Shaman it is.

Now comes my dilemma: picking names!. I'm trying to think of names that obviously belong together without the typical "a-b-c" or "one-two-three" suffixes, nor the illegal special character replacement (yes, it's against the naming policy to use ñ ù â etc, on US realms at least.)

It also gets tricky finding a set of three that are all unused, as I absolutely refuse to mangle names like the 5-billion permutations of "Legolas." Personal pet peeve

Trying to find something that's not "funny now but a pain later" (although for $30 I could always change them...) Got ideas like "Bobthewise" "Joethewise" and "Timthewise" (three wise men, get it? haha!) :P. Tried looking up mythological triplets with little success (why are there so many twins but no triplets?)

So, anyone with "unique" 2-3-4-5 box names, mind sharing to help get my brain working?

I agree. I usually try to inject some element of humor into mine as it is a game, after all.

Larry-Moe-Curly

That was actually the very first thing I thought of. Sadly, doing an armory check shows Larry and Moe already taken.

None of my ideas are good for 3-boxing, sigh.
Greeneggs & Ham (green orc and brown orc)
Imwithhim & Imwithher (any male/female)
Onefish, Twofish, Redfish, & Bluefish

I thought of Coffee, Tea, and Soda (with a pet named Pop), but Soda and Tea were taken.

Dwarf Paladin + Hunter, Gnome Warlock? They have the same starting area at least.

Using sentences or sentence fragments is against the naming policy too, not that it ever gets enforced.

I actually forgot about that, hmm. I'm already kinda set on three characters with the exact same model (I realize gear will make them look different.) I guess I'd be okay with having the main (pally) a different race as long as the two followers were the same.

Ah, true, well guess I can scratch that idea.

Larri
Mo
Curly

So they don't have to be male...

I've made new team of old and wise looking draenei male and 4 human female mages.


I was thinking how to call my draenei guy and since he is looking old and wise I decided to start thinking from "Profet" (not "prophet" - thats not 1337 enough). So a bit later I have called the draenei Gankprofet, and mages: LuvProfet, DesProfet, KulProfet and OldProfet

You can start from the same way.

I wanted Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, Michael and Tito.

But they were all taken.

So I went with 5 greek letters.
