People like you should be banned and forbidden from ever making another account. Go play WoW with the rest of the immature brats that infest that game. You can have fun with your stupid **** names there. They don't belong here.
Take a breath "sniperkitty"... Its a game, not a historical re-enactment. You sound like you know how to relax and have fun.. Message Edited by xripperx on 03-08-2005 08:39 AM
SniperKitty is my forum handle, not my in game name. None of my characters names are stupid or silly names. I make my characters names fit the gameworld instead of being a stupid [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] named like Huflungg Poo or something. Names like that don't belong in the game. Period. Not ever. The only good thing about names like that, is they're big flashing neon signs that say, "Don't group with me. I'm an immature [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] moron!" Not having those stupid names around would mean it would be harder to pick the idiots out of the crowd.
It all comes down to having a sense of humor. Some people do and some do not. Not everyone with a creative name is going to be a moron as you mentioned. I use to have a rogue named Xcon Vict. That must make me a moron too, even though I had people sending me tells, "Hey that was pretty creative and funny!" They must be morons too.
PERSONAL NAMES As a general rule, Japanese did not take the name of four legged animals, changeable thing (wind, fire, etc.), unfavorable qualities, or macho names. Harmony, calm, cooperation, stability and such were seen as better alternatives. MALE GIVEN NAMES Some men used only one character for a name, but for the most part two or more characters were used for a given name. The following chart includes common characters that can be mixed and matched for a name, however not all combinations are valid in original Japanese: Aki = brightness, clarity Chika = intimacy Fusa = abundance Haru = expansion Hide = excellence Hira = peacefulness Hiro = breadth, liberality Hisa = longevity Ie = permanence, family Kage = brightness Kane = precious, firm, uniting Katsu = success, victory Kaza = spirit Kiyo = purity Kore = existence Kuni = country, lord Masa = honesty, righteousness Michi = principle ("way")Mitsu = brilliance, fullness Mori = protection, abundance Moro = uniformity Moto = priority, base Mune = head, main line of family Na = fame Naga = longevity Nao = correctness Nari = production Nobu = expansion, truth Nori = law-abiding Omi = lord Sada = determination Sane = truth Shige = abundance,adds emphasis Suke = assistance Sumi = clearness, permanenceTada = correctness, directness Taka = eminence Take = bravery Tame = action Tane = seed, succession Toki = timeliness Tomo = friend, friendliness Tora = bravery Toshi = quick-wittiness Toyo = abundance Tsuna = control Tsune = forever, unchanging Uji = family, succession Yasu = peacefulness Yori = dependable Yoshi = goodness, luck Yuki = progression FEMALE GIVEN NAMES Females of the court nobility or samurai class would often have a one character name followed by one of the following finals: -ko = child -no = field, plain, moor, wilds -e = branch, bay, blessing, kindness, mercy, benevolence -yo = age, era, reign, generation, times LIST OF COMMON INITIAL CHARACTERS: Birds, mythical creatures, etc.: Cho = butterfly Kame = tortoise Kaze = lucky crane Taku = hawk Tatsu = dragon Tsuru = crane Seasons, etc.: Aki = autumn Ame = rain Fuyu = winter Haru = spring Hatsu = early Natsu = summer Shimo = frost Yuki = snow Literary, artistic, etc.: Fumi = literature Hina = doll Kinu = silk Koto = harp/zither Nui = embroidery Ruri = emerald Sayo = night Tama = gem Tsuya = brilliance Uta = poem, song Yume = dream Yumi = bow Flowers and plants: Fuji = wisteria Fuyo = hibiscus Hagi = clover Hana = flower Ine = growing rice Kiku = chrysanthemum Matsu = pine (consistency) Mono = peach (eternal youth) Sanae = rice shoots Sugi = cedar Take = bamboo Ume = plum (courage) Yone = rice grain Yuri = lily General: Ai = love Aki = bright Asa = morning Atsu = kind heartedness Chiye = wisdom Fumi = wealth and beauty Gin = silver Hatsu = first Hide = excellence, sunrise Jun = purity, obedience Katsu = victory Kei = reverence, respect Kichi = luckKimi = noble, beauty Kin = gold, or metal Kiyo = cleanness Kyo = mirror, modesty Masa = righteousness Masa = righteousness Michi = "way" Midori = green Misao = chastity Nao = straight forwardness Nobu = faithfulness Sachi = luck, happiness Sada = chastity Setsu = fidelityShin = truth, new, fresh Suzu = small bell Tada = loyalty Tami = abundance and beauty Toku = virtue Tomo = friend Toshi = alertness Toyo = abundance Tsugi = next, second born Tsuki = moon Yasu = tranquillity Yetsu = delight Yoshi = good, justice, luck Yu = courage

Tabula Rasa. It means "Scraped Tablet" in Latin (though is often translated as "Blank Slate"). He's a Dark Elf who defected to Qeynos, so I liked the idea of his past being forcibly expunged. The full implication of this phrase is that people are born inherently "blank" and that their persona is entirely defined by their actions after birth (fitting for one who was deemed evil merely by his birth race). Also, the blank slate translation (which I figured would be understood by more people) works with the Monk and his quest for inner stillness.
