Rate the Asura Name Above You!
As Minigrump didn’t rate you Antediluvian, I will.
Zixax: 9/10 > It sounds cool, but after saying it out loud a couple of times you start to stumble over it a bit. I (think) it is lore-based, so kudo’s for that!
And although Minigrump didn’t rate anyone, gues I will;
Minigrump/Techno Mini: 6/10 > Funny name, however not a ‘real’ name. The play on ‘mini’ and Asura always kinda ticks me off as uncreative :P
I posted my Asura name earlier, but didn’t get rated… So I’m going to post it here again:
My guardian is called Sholto.
The mysteries dissapear and life stands explained.”
I like it! Although it isn’t lore related, it’s very befitting for an Asuran guardian. 8.5/10.
I’ve got two Asuran elementalists, Krittero and Zaiilen.
Don’t know why… but Zaiilen sticks out more than Krittero for being more “Asuran”. Both work well though.
My Asuran Engi is named Qwerkk.
Haha that name is funny somehow
Mine is Zithark
Engineer: Bit Hypertech & Mesmer: Lucid Mindbender
Engineer: Bit Hypertech & Mesmer: Lucid Mindbender
9.7/10: Doesn’t follow the lore/naming rules, but techy & creative hence mostly fitting (and same thing I did). I suspect after Asura have lived amongst humans, norn, and charr enough some might start adapting surnames for themselves too.
In a similar vein, all mine are named after programming stuff:
Guardian: State Machine (boons = state)
Engineer: Mersenne Twister (algorithm)
Warrior: Tar Ball (unix zip file)
Ranger: Blum Blum Shub (algorithm, yes really)
8/10. I’m sure if I’d appreciate these names more if I knew more about programming. Yours don’t follow cultural Asuran naming rules.
Female Mesmer: Chrona The Punctual (Chrona from ‘chrono’ meaning time)
10/10. Best name ever. xD
Female Engineer: Nijnn (pronounced as the German “nein”)
I made her brown with an eyespot and the longest ears, biggest eyes to make her look as much as possible like a bunny (nijn = cutesy word for bunny in Dutch).
Think I already posted my main Elementalist Mini Star before.
Nijnn is a cute name! Even if you don’t read it like “nein”. I’d say 10/10. ;o
————————
My asuran.
Female Mesmer : Miia
She is the smallest size possible with short dark-purple hair. <3
^ Very Mesmery and Asuran. XD
I can almost picture the cute little thing running up….and turns out to be a clone and exploding in my face with a giggle.
Guess I’ll throw my little guy in the ring. My little self name inspired Guardian, Miik (pronounced like Meek) Dembi (Dem-Bee).
10/10 very cute and extremely asuran ^.^
Mine is a female engineer called Gizmo Cogwrench
^ Lore-wise it sounds more like a charr name than an asura, but fitting for an engineer
I have a couple of asura.
Josca – My female engineer, it’s actually a play on my dad’s name. He’s a big DIY guy and generally a genius mechanic/engineer. I grew up with our living room full of cogwheels, electrical wiring and various motorcycle parts from wheels and suspensions to entire engine blocks. I love my dad, and I love my engineer!
Grexxa – My female necromancer, from the latin noun grex, meaning flock. I felt it fit with the concept of minions, even if I rarely use them.
Epigrapher Evvi – My second elementalist (after my main, a human). I wanted a glyph based build or possibly an s/d burst build with air magic and epigraphy is the study of inscriptions.
Gadgeteer Glixx – My second engineer. Josca is a pistol/pistol or pistol/shield all things condition engineer, but I wanted another engineer for a static discharge or power build. I’m pretty sure I saw a Glixx earlier somewhere in this thread too, so I know I’m not the only one. (I really would’ve liked Engineer Xapp, an asura NPC from GW1, but someone took that name already haha)
Sanctum of Rall
(edited by Eivene.9127)
Very nice names all around I like most of them, some very nice ideas
—————————————————————————————————————————————————
My 3 Asuras:
Rokk Soulstorm – necromancer of Soulstorm krewe
Knikk Soulstorm – mesmer of Soulstorm krewe
Dattia – engineer that will probably never be lvl 80 xD
Knikk Soulstorm (MES) ~ Best char ever :3
Love all the name in here, some are very asuran and some are very…“creative” for asura XD
Name of my 5 asura :
Zevanth : my ele, dunno how to name an asura because this is my first char
Fartt : my mesmer, he is bald and charming
Crottt : my thief, because he like to backstabing people
Snortt : my necro, dunno why i naming him this tho
Skooll : my engi, fat dude who love to run around in EB for repairing walls
Zevanth: A good first attempt, even if it’s completely outside of Asura naming conventions 6/10
Fartt: Okay, I take issue with this, but that’s personal taste, so I’ll skip rating it
Crott: I like the wordplay. 8/10
Snortt: oddly, this seems more like most asura names I’ve seen. 8/10
Skooll: Here we go! This one I like. 9/10
I only have one personally, and that’s Rullu. Necromancer; uses minions almost exclusively. They basically golems made of meat and bone, after all. One’s even called Flesh Golem.
(edited by Harnel.6810)
I really like Rullu. It just has a nice ring to it- plus, it’s lore friendly.
I’m new to Guild Wars 2, in fact, I first played it yesterday.
My first and only character is called Saana The Virtuoso, an Engineer. Saana is derived from Sana, a name of Arabian/Hindu origin that means ‘brilliant’.
As for her title… Let’s just say she’s not particularly modest.
Saana is an epic name! Sounds like something George R. R. Martin would call Dothraki children
As for me I tried to turn Cookiemonster into an asuran terrorist so I ended up with cookiebombs
I have this image of a little guy running around throwing exploding cookies at people. Pretty awesome.
My Asura is Grymm Linn and is a Necromancer.
My Asura main is an elementalist pyromancer named Teffla
9/10. Short, to the point, just like the Asurans! + it sounds like the Tesla Coils.
My Asuran is Sopu
My ele is Plebitz
My guardian is Wezzip
Getting ready to start an engie trying to come up with a name now.
I like the name it’s short true seems young asuran Sopu
(edited by Mortalitas.9710)
Plebitz – 7/10
Wezzip – 9/10
I like these names, they sound very Asuran. Although, “pleb” was once used around here as an insult so the first name sounds a bit off to me personally.
Necrologist Wikk
“Necrologist” is pronounced similarly to “Biologist”. I don’t usually use name prefixes but I thought it was quite fitting for an Asuran; and different to my other character names.
Wikk is nice and crisp, although I know too little about Asuran naming customs to judge it accurately there. Nonetheless – Necrologist Wikk. Has a certain air, which I like.
My new mesmer’s name is not an Asuran name, by any means. Regardless, what do you all think of it?
Mind Kitten.
(edited by Requiem.8769)
Mind Kitten.
It’s certainly neither lore-friendly nor is it terribly engaging (no real possibility of an identity; exceptionally descriptive). HOWEVER, it reminds me of GW1 days when people could just make PvP characters and name them whatever they wanted because “I want to run 7 interrupts on my bar NOW and I don’t want to invest in a PvE character to do so!” Mind Kitten feels like a name in that vein and so for that I won’t fault you. Also, you chose my favorite face.
7.5/10
Doof.
Kleppa.

Your asuras seem very klutzy :P 9/10
Female Warrior : Emma Decody
[Mada] Apocryfia
Tarekk is an engineer with one bad attitude and a big Rifle
8/10
my asura’s name is lags
7/10 Lags is funny and kinda believeable
I have a lot so here goes. My three male names are Vorrm, Qoltt, and Tillod.
8/10 great stuff.
Mine is named Phizixx.
[CERN] When Zergs Collide – Tarnished Coast born n’ bred
9/10 name sounds legit
Thief – Lil Oni Kage
Guardian – Narakuma
Lil Oni Kage – 7/10 Oni Kage is simple, however lacks a double letter combo of sorts and isn’t “rough” enough in sound that is typical of Asuras.
Narakuma – 7.5/10 Props for finding one-worded name. The name is nice, however it’s too long and Japanese-sounding to match Asura lore names.
As names yours are nice, however
My female Asura guardian’s name:
Qaali
(pronounced kah-lee) variations of Kaali were taken, so I just went with a letter close to “k” in the IPA (international phonetic alphabet). Name has both feminine Asura vowels (“a” and “i”), yet still kept a “hard” sounding consonant to remain Asura-like Also stuck with two-syllables as well with being one-worded, which was hard to find, given that a lot of combos have been taken already >.<
Also I lawled at Phizixx two posts above hahaha
Independent “Q” FTW!!! (Qaali)
My Asura Mesmer’s name is Zephyllia (zeh-FILL-ya). A lil on the long side, but I personally think it works!
Haha whaaa you didn’t rate “Qaali” xD.
(^I already went so I’ll let someone else rate your “Zephyllia”)
(edited by ZerythPhoenix.4239)
Zephyllia – 7/10 not really asuran name, “Zephy” alone would suffice IMO, though it would probably be taken already.
My brand new asura warrior – Gradd the Inert
LOL that name is awesome definatly Asura like. 9/10
Mine is a Thief named Maxari.
Maxari – I like it. It’s short and rolls of the tongue very nicely. And it’s one word.
9.5/10
My engineer is called Fhelix.
8.5/10. Its a cool name, but it resembles too much human names for pets >_> .
? Zackh – Elementalist
(And for add, I studyed all asura culture before choose my name, as the asura is bullyng asuran males than name not end with consoants, and have fewer vogal as possible XD )
Mine’s an Elementalist named Amphi and is also male, he doesn’t follow the traditional names of Asura due to not actually growing up in Rata Sum.
Mine’s an Elementalist named Ragnazoth Volcanite. The reason I gave him a surname is because people I know often say I’m ‘odd’ or random which basically eccentric is another word for. Also thought it would help if someone asked why I didn’t try to emulate the Asura’s normal vocabulary.
Chaos always finds a way, who you think Evil learned it from?
^ I liked how you used the lore to represent yourself in-game. 9/10
My asura Mesmer is named Wyss The Savant
Nice idea to actually use the title your character gets in your name. Even more so since before that he’ll run around as the self-proclaimed snaff prize contest winner, which suits asura perfectly. 10/10
Well for some reason I’m not able to think of any serious asura names so I named my asura engineer:………
Edd Omic Boom
well at least the name Edd ‘sort of’ fits asuran lore..

I like your name 8/10
My asurans are:
Technologist Keppa
and Infiltrator Gizza
Respectively being an engineer and a thief
Your names are pretty good, especially if they are female asuras, 8.5/10 ^
My Asura name is Funxx, a Dynamics engineer extraordinaire
Funxx – I will give it 8/10. It’s a good short name. If it was just ‘Funx’ then i would rate it 9, but Funxx works well.
My guardian is called Esekial – it’s a variation from the name ‘Ezekiel’, meaning “God will strengthen”
My warrior is called Zeecke
(edited by CrossFire.8037)
i like the warrior name the guardian one is interesting too but warriors is better imo I have engineer and she is called Cruxie Megullus
My main is an Asuran Mesmer named “The Real Maccoy”
In WvW, He keeps as many clones out as possible and stealths a lot, to confuse enemies as to which one is actually him.
Sorry, forgot to rate Cruxie… 7/10, because it looks cool on paper, but I’m not sure how to pronounce it.
Sorry, forgot to rate Cruxie… 7/10, because it looks cool on paper, but I’m not sure how to pronounce it.
Her name is pronounced like “croo-she-eh” spoken quickly.
