But what should we call them?

I sometimes kill time by musing over good names for characters in a multi-boxing team. I'm sure some people out there have come up with some clever names. Let's see some of your good ideas. Here are a few I've come up with:

Two-boxing:
Huginn and Muninn (The two ravens of Odin)
Salt and Pepper
Peanutbutter and Jelly
Porom and Palom

Three-boxing:
Proton, Neutron and Electron
Head, Thorax, and Abdomen
Decima, Nona, and Morta (The three Fates in Roman mythology)
Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

Four-boxing:
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter
Spades, Clubs, Diamonds, and Hearts
North, East, South, and West
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine
Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and Clyde

Five-boxing:
Kwame, Wheeler, Linka, Gi, and Ma-Ti
Thumb, Fore, Middle, Ring, and Pinky

I'm boring I just add a/b/c/d or w/x/y/z.

But for Dual Boxing:
Ying & Yang (spelling?)

In an ideal world (mine own):

Aa, Ab, Ac, Ad, Ae
Ba, Bb, Bc,....etc.

Unfortunately, it's not ideal as most of those minimal combinations went right after launch. So I make do with what I can (Wq, Kr, Ps, Hn, Oa :/ )

edit: not nearly as fun and as imaginative as Vicker's (needs a few more additions though such as three stooges, goon show, monty python, famous band members, e.g., pete, eric, jimi, janice, robert)

On my PvE realm I've named my paladin: Scorpius, my DK: Hellraiser, my hunter: Tags etc.

I like the names that are kind of descriptive of the character behind the name.

Nevergonna Giveyouup Letyoudown Runaround Desertyou
Shouldhave Killedme Whenyouhad Thechance (I picked these names for my locks + priest, people are using the ample chances between 60-80).

My shamans are: Altocumulus Cumulonimbus Cirrostratus and Nimbostratus (dk is Convection, mage is vorticity) was in a guild called <Azeroth Weather Service> for awhile.

2 Boxing:
Carls & Berg

3 boxing:
Earth, Wind & Fire

My current duo that I am leveling is a female/male pair of hunters I am going to use as a ganking team.

Bonne and Clyd

Curiously Strong Owltoid Owltoid Owltoid Owltoid Owltoid
(resto shaman, pally tank, moonkin gang)

Team Star Trek Seniors:
GrandpaKirk
GrandpaBones
Grandpaspock
GrandpaScoty (didn't allow for the extra t. :-( )
GrandmaUhura

Team Farscape: Horde
Scorpy
Meeklo (Braca's first name, for those that watched the show)

Team Farscape: Alliance
Grandpadargo
Grandmachi
Grandmazhaan

When I was playing Asheron's Call 2 I named my earth elementals Marykate and Ashley.

Some off the top of my head.

Marlon, Jackie, Tito, Michael and Jermaine.
Bird, Parish, Johnson, McHale, Ainge.
Cheech and Chong

I thought about creating a guild called Rat Pack
Sinatra, Sammy, Deano, Lawford and Bishop

When I was just two-boxing I got alot of compliments on my prot pally/holy priest's names:

Foreground & Background


Now that I've upped to 3-boxing and added a boosted lock, who was originally slated to go into a different two-man team (never planned to maintain the 3rd account lol, now it's fully upgraded to WotLK!), so now I'm:

Foreground, Background, and Okstopdots.

I've pondered paying $10 for a name change to make the warlock "Middleground"

I like to use names that start and end with the letter A. Usually they are taken in some form or another so I add an X to the end.

Quad boxing Fire, Earth, Water, Captplanet. I get so many tells asking where heart and wind are. :(

ImDeaf ImDumb ImBlind ImLeader

Since you've got the ravens in there, why not a three-box team of Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld?

Guild name: Me So Norny

Once i get a team sorted, plan on calling them Moodi, Angri, Happi, Hawni and Nasti.

Team PMT.

HEY STOAT :D

I rerolled horde but I'll be moving onto my alliance accounts later. Just fyi

Anyway my priests are lame Yesimtasty/Tastyhealsa/b/c/d

My rogues are: Justletting Youknowthat Whenistealth Imgoingto Killyouokay
which I like a bit better

my shaman are 4 female tauren named herdess and one male named Dominantbull.
i have a "gaggle" of druids (5 druids diff spellings of gaggle)
and 5 "zombies" that are all undead mages and preists
also have a "pack" of hunters
oh, and my lvl 65 group of 5 tauren DK's (male) named "deathsquad"
lol, i went with a group theme obviously.

my favorite so far is Tasty's
My rogues are: Justletting Youknowthat Whenistealth Imgoingto Killyouokay

lol, that's fucking hilarious.

I do have 5 lvl 2 rogues named "ninjas" lol.
i'd love to get them to 80 and have people like... damn ninja's....

lol!

4 spriests named Imahottie (with different ascii letters) lead by my main priest named Lifegiver
4 hunters named keldiss (different ascii letter i's)
3 druids named demeter, persephone, artemis (greek gods)
Gifted levels to pally named Bublehearth
5 Mages named Acrit, Bcrit, Ccrit, Fcrit, Gcrit (Dcrit and Ecrit are my sister dual boxing)
3 gnome makes named Ticc, Tack, Toww
3 Shammies are Ashammie, Bshammie, Cshammie (might be re rolling them though)
4 gnome locks named Wiggle, It, Justa, Lilbit
3 warriors named Ownage, Pownage, Shortfatdummy
3 rogues names Stalker (different ascii for the letter e's)
2 pallies named Martini, Rossi (cause it was funny)
3 twink gnomes named Twinkies (different ascii for the letter i's)

Its not an addiction, Its a hobby.....

I rolled one group of 4 hunters recently named Greybeard, Whitebeard, Brownbeard, & Tanbeard. Haven't made it past 10 with them yet, but all other toons I have on my main server are just simple names with different ascii characters in the names. Main Gnome Rogue is Rymshot, new ones I'm working on getting up to match him in level are Gnomes too named Rymshot also with the Os as different ascii characters as well.

My current team consists of a pally, resto sham, and 3 hunters

Sham: Abbat (I figured Abott, or Abbot would sound too "bot")
Pally : Costello
Hunter 1 : Larrie
Hunter 2 : Curlee
Hunter 3 : Mohwe

Pets... Huey, Dewey, and Louie

:D

I did hillbilly names for my paladin team (human of course.)

Jethreau
Billybob
Rickybobby
Bobbyjoe
Jerrylee

Of course I shamelessly stole the idea from someone on here.

edit: lol been reading some of the suggestions here, hilarious!!

I wanted to use jethro but my wife insisted they all have 2 name type names...so that's what I chose of course.

Just remember where you got it :D Probably the only original thing I've ever come up with in this game!

Here are a few more:

Two:
Sheriff, Depute

Three:
Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup
Tofu, Tempei, Seitan

Four:
Eggs, Flour, Sugar, Yeast
Head, Shoulders, Knees, Toes

Five:
Sedan, Truck, Jeep, Wagon, Suv
Liono, Cheetara, Tygra, Panthro, Snarf
Optimus, Cheetor, Rattrap, Rhinox, Tigatron

I don't understand why anyone would name his characters things like "zzab". Where's the fun in that? Wouldn't you rather have a gnome mage named Snarf?

Edit:
By the way, my PvE team members are Adiabat, Isochor, and Isobar. I'm a physicist. They're physicsy names. =P

How could I have missed this one?

Lies, Damnlies, Statistics

May need to make the second one Damlies/Dammlies becuase of naming rules though.

Spam, Spamm, Spammm, Spaamm and Morespam <Flying Circus>
Ima, Mull, Tee, Boxx, Errr <No Life>
BokBok, Neighneigh, Moomoo, OinkOink, QuackQuack <Eieio>
Jed, Ned, Zed, Ted, Sed <Yeehaw>
Pico, Nano, Micro, Kilo, Mega <Metric System>
Lust, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy <Deadly Sins>
Heart, Star, Clover, Diamond, Moon <Lucky Charms>
Jaws, Duhduh, DuhDuhh, DunDuh,DunDuhh <Rawr!!!>
Dukk, Duck, Duhk, Dukk, Goose <We are Five>

I'm going to start a four-boxing team soon. I tried some of the ones I posted so that I could check the name availability on my server and hold onto the names. Not one of them was available. Not even North, East, South, West.... Who the hell names their character North if they're not multi-boxing? 0_0

Bazza, Mazza, Gazza, Jezza, Kev <Chavs>

my new fav. LOL

Ima, Mull, Tee, Boxx, Errr

For Dual Boxing:
Starsky and Hutch
Pinky and TheBrain
Batman and Robin
Asterix and Obelix
Beauty and TheBeast
Bill and Ben
Live and Letdie
