Naming

[Deann]

Just curious, but;

How do you guys with multiple teams go about naming your chars?

Sorry if this doesn't belong here, feel free to move it :D

I wanted to call one of my teams Kage Bunshin No Justu (the anime character Naruto's shadow clone technique), but of course all but one were taken, and most alternate spellings also gone :p
Unfortunately, I dislike 'funny' characters.

I ended up theming the main group around elementals from Michael Moorcock's Elric novels.
The druids were themed around colours and body parts (so Goldtail, Jadeeye, and everyone loves the joke for Brownhorn who never stops in time :p )

I recommend picking a theme, or being funny! Even self-deprecating if you can handle that (since many see multiboxers as a challenge to their e-peen).
But I believe die hard PvP'ers prefer to go for similar names, to make it harder for opposing teams to focus fire at them.

I have already had to swap a team member around and am currently running around with mixed themes, so go for a theme that is easily extensible perhaps.

My chars are calle Elox Belox Xoleb Xoled, close enought to make confusion but simple enough to keep my head in the right place =P
