Obligatory 'best name I've seen' thread...
Pink Portal Fairy.
Guild name – Portals Are [PINK]
Second time I’ve been blessed to witness this miracle of a norn. Amazing character design.
And he still fails to accept that portals are purple. Also… “amazing” is not the first thing that comes to mind. Nightmare inducing more likely.
xD
He’s like the elusive “Fairy Godfather” of mesmers. It’s the face that really sells it for me.
~performs thread necromancy~
I saw an Asura in Silverwastes named “Silverwastes Hero” and I thought of this thread. That has to be some dedicated planning.

QueenLaThiefa will always be one of my favorites.
Broken Bottle Cap
Ice Bank Mice Elf
….. And Elementalist.
Saw a character named “Peace Love and Moa”. Was pretty awesome.
Playing the game today and I saw a ranger pet. So, out of curiosity I put it in my friend’s list to check.
Yes, somewhere out there is a player named Juvenile Brown Bear.
ANet may give it to you.
A day or two ago I saw what I thought was a very clever pet bear name:
Bear With Me
In heart of the mists I saw someone named, “Toys R Us Employee”
Taking a break from GW2 to play various
Nintendo games..
ROMAINE PLANTSKI
((helping out non-thinkers since 1989))
Great thread, here are some of mine:
Im Moredrem Freeman
Miss Donna Death ( female necro )
Miss Kaitlin Kaboom ( female engi )
Miss Pixie Pocket ( female thief )
Miss Ellie Hotstuff ( female ele )
Miss Suzie Fuse ( female engi )

I just like names that follow racial naming conventions. Whenever I see a Sylvari named “Deadly Thorn”, “Lord Grand Oak”, etc, I facepalm a little bit on the inside.
Hope I don’t get into trouble for this, saw a guy in HoTM called Osama Bin Laggin
Saw a ranger called “Cpt longrange” a guild name – two scritt one shiney (forgot tag)
gw1 – healing signet/frenzy/charge
Still loving “Garri Watergate” – male norn guardian afaik.

You mean charr? Because he is a guildy. Unless there is another dude running around with this name too

I have one called Venus Nightshade.
But she’s a poe. :P

Norncy/ Nornman

Nornrows – cornrow hair a must
Nornth Isway ( Baby I was ),
Astar Isnorn (for those old enough to remember Barbra Streisand)
Nornin Theusa
Nornado
Nornamental (better have inordinate amounts of swag)
Snorn (Allnight)
Foghorn LegNorn
Texas Longnorn
Bullnorn
Bullby Thenorns
Eirnorn
Nornish Meatpie
Fjord works for Ranger

Would “Annal Legend” (for rev) get changed/break any rules?
annal: a record of events or historical account
(edited by Mightybird.6034)
I suspect you’d get reported because someone would read it as anal, but that’s probably kittened on the site. Whether or not you’d have to change it, though, is up to the dev who gets the ticket.
I don’t really see a problem with it because I knew the difference between the two words.
I’m shocked… anal isn’t part of their filter words! Yet kitten (forty-five point five percent) is.
The best name I’ve come across was a Charr named “Twerkasaurus Smex”.
I doubt it since it’s not “kittened” out
Personally OP, I wouldn’t risk it. The word “annal” is quite obscure as it is… “anal” is used far more often and I would think that more people would see it as a creative misspelling than for what it truly is.
Although the word “anal” isn’t filtered here on the forum, it surprises me that it isn’t. It is filtered out in-game, using even the normal chat filter.
@Brandon and Warobaz, you’re probably looking for this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Obligatory-best-name-I-ve-seen-thread/
It’s pretty iffy and I’d bet they’d make you change it. Annals is simply not a common enough word to be immediately recognized by most people.
Maybe something like, Archivist Rev instead.
ANet may give it to you.
Kratos Terone (future name for my revenant, name already reserved!)
And yet I can’t even use the name “Nianalind” because it “violates community guidelines” or some such. The automatic filters are stupid, and seem to be different between game and forums.
Your display name is Mightybird. How about Mighty Legends?
ANet may give it to you.
I know someone with a Charr Engi named “Paws for Thought”
I named my female Ranger “Steph Irwin”
The title I have on my ranger is “Deer Commander” and my pet bear is aptly named “Not a deer”
I’m also going to name my Revenant “Helen Killer”
I have a friend name Chuck Nornis and I came across someone the other day named Colin O’scopy lololol
Seen a mesmer around called gorge cloney. Made me lol

Then every single one of my characters will make you facepalm. LOL.
I love my plant/nature pun names.
Carsten Waterfield – Elementalist
A Charr necromancer with the twilight arbor helm named Meowleficent lol
I saw a ranger in PvP with a balck widow called Zsazsa Gabor.
Elona Bonechill – Necro / Fionna Gymirdottier – Guard /// RoF
Clip Ping – Charr Engi…
I once had a name called “Jehovahs Witnesses” for my Engi.. Once in a while, I mapchatted at LA and asking if anyone has a moment to talk about Jesus Christ.. Then I got bored of the toon and deleted it to make way for a much interesting name “Fooffy Booffy” for my super cute Charr
How abouts pet names?
I like my Rich Gold Vein raven. I’ve also seen a Lawn Moa, a spider called Peter Parker, a drake named Godzilla Jr, Headcrab the devourer and a pig known as Bacon Mc Oink
My pet Moa was actually called Lawn after a guildie suggested that there was no lawn moas in the game.
I have a toon with the name Serious Leyloo King waiting to be exchanged for a Revenant when the expansion comes out. Works better if you say it fast.
A Charr necromancer with the twilight arbor helm named Meowleficent lol
omg xD !
I really like both of the names I have on my 2 main characters more than most I’ve seen. Maybe i’m a bit arrogant….
Ranger: Shoot N Loot
Mesmer: Rofl Stompskin
Just saw a Charr in Silverwastes named “Lincoln Town Charr”

Your skin will wrinkle and your youth will fade, but your soul is endless.
My human ranger made to look like Chuck Norris named “I S I S Hunter”. Name was banned.
I am going to name my Norn
Arnorn Shwartzdagger
Just saw a character named Mightochondria.
Clever.

I once saw a guy named Hanover Fist (or perhaps it was Phist). Either way an obvious homage to the classic movie Heavy Metal.
