How do you Name your characters?

Of course a good team doesn't need to call a target, they all utilize a little thing called /assist :).

Now it REALLY bothers me you made female orcs. ;)

My 'real' nickname is Latency. Been Latency for years long before WoW. One time while raiding AQ40 one of my friends (probably was drunk) typo'd my name and instead of calling me 'Late' called me Slats.

When I moved servers and Latency wasn't availible and the top horde raiding guild was called <Latency> (and scored a massive amount of heat for being huge nerds) I went with Slats and just added w,x,y,z on the end.

One thing to note with names as somebody else pointed out kindly in another thread - if you create your FIRST character LAST, it will always appear first below the party leader on the 'mains' screen.

So make Slatsz, Slatsy, Slatsx then Slatsw.

Kekface-Burface

Kekface-Këkface <- If you have exactly the same gear and the same guild name it looks like your just 1 mage. Untill you start PoM-ming their asses ^^ Because on Kekface you just get a E-Umlaut instead of a normal e.

I was thinking about leveling 2 hunters too and had some great names for them.


5 minutes later: Hmm cant remember the names anymore :P

5 shamans:

caesium
beryllium
mangan (manganese in english)
vanadium
gallium

- elemental spec, you might have guessed.

I use pitbull and sort by name so they always appear in order.

harhar.

I went with the last 5 greek letters not taken on Mag.

Alpha-, Beta-, Gamma-, Delta-, Omega-. Change the prefix as I go.

EDIT: Err, suffix.

Druid/Druid team was Pikapepa and Pepapika, when I xferred servers some jerks took my names and I had to change them.

Mage/Priest team was Punch / Puck / Puncho / Pucko / Pchunko

Pally/sham team is:

Junxo / Junxô / Junxó / Junxö / Junxò

I have gotten way less tells to alts on that team lol.

I've always gone with a varying theme on Monkofdoom, so far I've had characters under the names of :

Monkofdoom <-- Normally a hunter
Monkofboom <-- Normally a mage
Monkofzoom <-- Normally a rogue
Monkofsoom <-- varies
Monkofloom <-- Normally a druid
Monkoftoom <-- Normally a warlock

I have around 25 characters using these names + a few other characters so recently had to change my tatics for the Monk5

Mankovdoom
Menkovdoom
Minkovdoom
Monkovdoom
Munkovdoom

It works :)

Hehe, I've got a bit of a boring ones for now. Finnish words giving clearly what the characters do

Tankkaan = I tank
Parannan = I heal
Shokkaan = I shock
Jäädytän = I freeze
Vaivaan = I afflict

Guess the classes =) hint there are no warriors or priests in there...
