Choosing names....

[sqeaky4100]

I'm starting up a 5-shaman team and I'm just simply stumped as to which name/s I should chose.

Choice A:

Venzal
Venzul
Venzyl
Venzol
Venzil


Choice B:

Venz
Vënz
Vênz
Vénz
Vènz


Choice C:

Zetto
Zètto
Zêtto
Zëtto
Zétto





I like the Zetto a lot, but I worry... do you encounter problems ever while using ALT characters? ( I plan to use Zetto as my "main" so if anyone needs me they msg him )




Thanks for the choice selections, and any other input!

Having created one group with alt characters and one without, go without. Even though it looks cool to have the same name, it makes anything else harder than it needs to be.

I went with shamm shami shamn shamy, so your first option looks the best to me.

Can you give some examples as to why?

I would agree with this.

Personally I have made my chars Zogzaon, Zogzoan,Zogzoon,Zogzoun and Zogzuon. This makes them look pretty similar without using special chars. I have also sorted them in alphaetical order and I'm using Pitbull frames for sorting party alphabetically.
This makes it a lot easyer to allways have the same order appear in your party frames.

I would also suggest going with names that either starts with A or Z if you are planning on playing arena. This will allways put your team mates in either the top or bottom slot of the party (if sorted alphabetically

In lower case L looks the same as an I and in the default wow font r n looks the same as m

In my case I named my toon Ilarnil, Ilamil, liarnil and liamil

Creating macros.

Remembering which character is which if you don't log them in exactly the same way every time.

Sending mail from your other characters when you get different professions on the boxers.

If you change anything in your UI settings or mods that makes characters not perfectly clear it can be hard to see who is who.

Being able to click on a character without having to study the name.

As they find specific roles you have to double check to make sure you have the right things going to the right characters.

Trading quest items for unfinished collection quests on a character.

Just to pull a few off the top of my head... It's really just making things harder than it should be. Personally I am tempted to report all of my characters for a name change.

That and it's against the TOS. I used to have a character with an ä in it...and I was forced to change it after someone reported me.

I have thought of naming a group like this

Ziiii
iZiii
iiZii
iiiZi
iiiiZ

and calling them Round Robin or something trite.

[Sanctume]

I like naming mine that is distinguished by A, E, I, O and U.

My 2 new shamans are named Sanctumes and Sanctumeu, but that's because my 6th shaman will be named Sanctumee.

So maybe you can try, Venza, Venze,Venzi,Venzo, and Venzu.
