View Full Version : The Most Difficult Part of Multiboxing is...

... 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.

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 agree, picking the name truly is the most difficult. It's not just one but many. I really don't have any suggestions as I am trying to think of some good names for alts all the time and get stuck.

I like picking names for alts in such a way that when you /who the main, all five come up.

For instance I have:
Carboxyl
Carboxylate
Carboxylases
Dicarboxyl
Carboxylite

Also, my Paladin is named "Mote", so all of my characters come up in the /who when I play her.

my main toons have had names like Mokoi Mukoi Makoi and such, but with my quadboxers, i wanted to do something different, while hanging onto the "Mc" or "Koi" sounds.

I went with:

Mcwrathy

Mcgreedy
Mclusty

haven't come up with my arena team name, which should be equally good =)

I wouldn't say its such a big deal, since for $10, you can change a name you find truely horrible at a later date. :)

But with 5 chars its gonna cost $50 which seems like a waste :p

It always takes a while to think of a name

(yes, it's against the naming policy to use ñ ù â etc, on US realms at least.)fyi - No it is not against the naming policy as of 2008. Check the Blizzard site, there's no mention of it. I also asked on the customer service forum and confirmed it is no longer against the naming policy, hence the names of my team.

I considered all kinds of mildly funny crap. My best one was:
Everybo
Dywas
Kung
Fufigh
Ting

I figured that when I got comments like, "omg u bot u so reproted (sic)," I could just hit my spread out macro and /dance with them. In the end I went with logical names though:

Pally: Iaggo
Shammi: Katator, Ketator, Kitator, Kutator

I like to pick names with a different starting letter for all my chars so that mail auto-complete pulls them off my friends list with 1 key. For the shammies it will take 2 keys, but I like that the names are logically organized.

I also followed Xzin's suggestions about creation time:
Kutator < Kitator < Ketator < Katator < Iaggo

That way my pally main appears first in the group and the 4 shammi are alphabetical. If I spec one resto I'll do Kutator so that the main healer is the last char in the group.

It's true though...I have enough trouble naming one char let alone 3, and it wouldn't sit right with me if they didn't match in some way and I'll never use the "a b c d" crap :p It'll either be re-spells or themed names for me

03-24-2008, 11:15 AM
I have a couple different approaches to names with my 6-box setup in DAOC. I typically have a main with the variation of the name "Nisch", which is part of my last name. I've done the ABCDEX route with my rangers: Aynisch, Bynisch, Cynisch, Dynisch, Eynisch and Xynisch.

I also named similar ways...with my 4 bainshees: Lifreen, Lifreem, Liphreen and Liphreem. That way, if talking over vent, they have a hard time with saying which one to target.

I also made 5 wardens recently with the names: Encephalectomy, Hydrocephalitis, Encephalitis, Hydrocephaly, and I honestly can't remember the 5th name now.....which is the point..........hard to pronounce when talking in vent.

I really prefer the similar sounding names though than the ABCD.......route. Confusion is your advantage.

Eteocles
03-24-2008, 11:29 AM
I'm relatively content with my boomkin name setup...I call 'em Eteeo, Eteo, and Clees for short lol; I don't care for the gobbledydook names with abcd but fullnames with numbers at the end work just as well to confuse people to some extent and still makes targeting a painful process since they have to type the full name rather than the first few letters.

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.

I read the book to my baby girl every night and it never crossed my mind to name my toons "Onefish, Twofish, Redfish, & Bluefish" 8o

On the Naming of toons...I always wanted four Hunters "Godzilla, Godziila, Godzllia, and Godzlila" with those gorillas from STV named "King Kong." :thumbsup:

Although after being harassed like crazy for Multiboxing...Notabot, Notbbot, Notcbot, and Notdbot would work for me too. :|

I also three box, and have agonized over names for my teams. My favorite ones so far are:

Veni, Vidi, Vici
&
Cntrl, Alt, Delete

Both sets are clearly designed to be names of a tripartate group, they're humourous, and not easily confused with one another. Though for pvp, the lack of similarity could be a con.

I work pretty well with names. It is an RP server, only one report so far was for my main priest who had the name Ludacrits at the time, while Ludacritz was fine. I worked out a fine FlagRSP for a mining skinning male orc warrior, with a great RP background, put things together out of his background and profession to make a name for him being in a word-name concatinating mood at the time and it ended up Diggernicks. I might have to rethink it.

My new duo, shamans, are Windführer and Oprahwinfury. People instantly said "You're going to get reported/suspended", I don't get it. It's a legit german noun meaning leader or sometimes guide, naturally he is the guide of the wind - down his arms when windfury procs and so on. Hmpf. People are messed up.

I think this depends on the server you are on. If you are on a German WoW server in the EU, you are unlikely to have a problem, since what you are saying is correct. 'Fuehrerschein' for example means driving license. But in the US, or even on English EU servers, that is different. You can expect people there to associate the word with the context they are most likely to have heard it in, and that is in WWII movies and used by the Nazis. That is not exactly an association you want when you are trying to immerse yourself in an MMO, in particular on a RP server. =]

Shaman names are just made up ones.
Mage names are moons of Saturn

Jupiter and Saturn's moons are a pretty good source of names I reckon.

Steph
05-07-2008, 05:42 AM
The names I currently use are:

for my first team I used an A-E+common suffix job, besides Captn. Claire was not available, so I went with Capt(ai)n.

Alaire - Mage
Blaire - Warlock
Captn - Priest
Dlaire - Warlock
Elaire - Warlock (usually replaced by my tankadin)

My shaman names are bastardized Latin going after the elements. I am not happy with those names though and I am thinking of changing them.

Firma (Earth - terra firma)
Lavia (Water - lavare - to wash)
Venta (Air - Wind)
Flama (Fire - Flame)
Aethera (Ether - Void)

Surely you're not surprised that you were made to change those?

Yep I am surprised. Tits and Bewbs? Cmon. I wouldn't be surprised if I had named them Milkyvagina, or Milkpenis.

Adiabat, Isochor, Isobar
Nice :)

I've just started a trio of Troll mages: Aizia, Bizib & Cizic. They'll be joined by my paladin Pizip.

While they were obviously constructed mult-boxing-stylee, I like them because they all sound different and would all stand alone as solo names.

BTW, three mages is a hoot!

I have used names for psychological warfare on twinks, one shaman I named a childish way of saying "sticky fecal matter" in Swedish, and it worked wonderfully when faced with Swedish opponents who read the name, they had trouble targetting and mouseturning the moment they saw it, some simply stopped in their path. Then it got reported.

So I named it Nintendowii instead, now nobody can get me.


If I reactivate my accounts I will level my warlock duo as seen in my signature. Those are some effin names I tell ya.

taking forever to pick names just seems silly to me.

You could make a variation of names in Greek mythology or something like that, exchanging small
parts of the name with similar sounding WoW terms. I can't come up with anything clever before
8pm in the evening (when I am fully awake for the first time of the day), so I can't give you any
examples.

Or you could make names out of sentences, like.. Pillarabuse, Makez, Gnomescry.

Err.. well yeah. Maybe you get the idea -_-

I like borrowing things from other languages.

My main 3 box team means Death in Finnish with a,b,c at the end.

My daughter and I are RAF-ing a number of toons up we have teams that are, in one language or another.
Rodi (Father) & Kcer (Daughter)
Osam (Eight) & Prsti (Toes) (Trolls 8 toes between the two)

Which generally work out well in the fantasy genre.

Mangonel - Close relative of the Catapult
Scorpios- The scorpio was a crossbow-like device used by the Romans that fired smaller arrows with deadly accuracy
Lithobolos - Stone throwing Ballista.
Cannon- Still a siege weapon.

My naming formula is basically a word describing the characters race or class with the prefix Fel, so my shamans are

Felshock
Fellightning
Felthunder
Feltoem

the idea was to eventually make a guild named <Feldomination> but I went with <In Spades> instead after finding the tabard icon with five cards.

Naming is hard. First shot at it I went with 5 cities near me - Lakewood, Gardena, Torrance, Lomita, and Redondo. As I fooled around with other teams I started to run out of available city names in socal, or maybe I started a trend and they all got snapped up.

I've moved over to Mexican food now -- a list which some of you might not realize, consists of much more than Burritos and Nachos. I mean, I'm 15 names deep and I still haven't used Chilito yet. (hm, I might need to remember to hold that name tonight lest one of you try to steal it)

Thanks for the tips, but chars are already created. Cannon is too modern for my type of thinking there. Damn you wikipedia for not having listed more! :P
Now I made myself a team of mages:
Highwayman
Cash
Nelson
Kristofferson
Jennnings
:love:
Yeah, should've had the guild "The Highwaymen" :P I had to use some ASCII finesse and shorten Kristofferson, since that is too many letters for WoW.

Had I been on a pvp server though.. I'd go with humor. xD

08-31-2008, 09:00 AM
Well my first team all have the same name 'Nvei' with different letter variants, but this is because I only want to make it difficult for the alliance who are working together to target my main... which isn't the the standard 'Nvei'

The next time I set-up and level I think i'll need some time to think of some funnies :thumbsup:

I went with the whole The good the bad and the ugly thing, variations on there names:

2 shaman and 2 druids named them; UglyTuco, Angellice, Blundee, and ShamnRamirez.

Since there was Tuco, Blondee, Angel Eyes and Father Ramirez :) what can I say it was my favorite movie.

Did 4 DK's and named them after the d'Artagnan and the 3 Musketeers, Arthas, Porthos, and Aramis. Though it was made out to be more girlie since 3 of them where female draenai.

My team of Pally and Shamans where Phoebus (sun god also know as Apollo or Helios), and the shaman are all different shamans in various shaman beliefs.
