Would love to listen to some druid name suggestions? I am really at a blank, so need help from the community, thx, -noname.
Arrtwodeetwo or Seethreepeeoh. Wait, these aren't the druids I'm looking for. Sorry, no help here. Nature stuff?
I once saw a Druid called Treenough. I liked that one. I also use Google translate when I'm stumped for an alt's name. Some examples for "Tree:" Coeden (Welsh), Pokok (Malay), Arbo (Esperanto), Rukha (Punjabi). Due to the nature of translating languages, it's not always exact, so check it in reverse as well, but it's a fun tool to play with.
On Bristlebane, I have the best Druid name ever, especially for a Wood Elf. However, as I never want to have a dreaded x at some unforeseeable future time, I will not mention it.
The first character that I ever created Day 1 Minute 1 in 1999 was a druid named Paranon I pulled it from one of my all time favorite books, The Sword of Shannara. Paranor = The Druids Keep Allanon = The druid at the center of the book smashed together = Paranon Still have him to this day.
I've always liked two part names. Something like Morning then when you hit level 20 and get a surname Wood.<sic> Walter's last name is Wego. Dates back to reading a manual for a Rainbird adventure game in ~1985. A blurb like 'chose your alter ego name' and Walter Wego made appearances in just about every venue I've played since. A bit trite, a bit juvenile, but then that's me.
Durangoxcv Bibbit Diddit Stirculious Rifisfor Riphizphor Reede Flemming Feralassling Bibbit is the only one I have created. The others I am just doing as part of my thought process.
Loads of ways to seek inspiration, one method is the two-factor system used for those silly "what Rock band name would you be in" where you take the letter of your first name & last name from one of the two columns below. Websearch tree names, or Latin names for those trees, animals that live in them or places they can be found & you have a decent starting point for some, messing around with the spelling may be fun too. Here's some I pulled out from my own search for some examples: Oleander Poisonleaf Hornbeam Sturdyroot Silverbirch Greybeard Aspen Frost Rowan Pleacher Gemel Twintrunk
I have never been great at coming up with good names for my characters, although I am generally happy with ninety percent of the names I have managed to think up (including the two characters who I gave up on and gave them names from literature). I have noted though that in virtually every case, I have found players with names that are sentences or phrases are the poorer players I have grouped with, so I avoid that at all costs.
