Bloodbath & Beyond?? I was in a LotRO (PvM) guild with that name.

I don’t usually tend to give my characters silly names, but I do give them to my pets.

Ranger – Kyxha Syadistine is followed around by a Jungle Stalker named Ms Kitty Fantastico, a Moa named Dinoindaskies and a shark called Fluffy (I was mightily disappointed to see in the Ranger pet name thread that there’s a few sharks with that name… and even more disappointed to see a certain event boss with it as well).

I’m tempted to make a Charr Elementalist or Mesmer named Miss Kitty Fantastico or maybe a Guardian named Summy Buffers. Willow Roseandburn would make for a nice Elementalist Sylvari. Ripper Giles would make for a great name. Yes, I do watch Buffy a lot…

My Necro is Sokar Rostau, which is a modified version of an Egyptian god of the underworld (Sokar, Lord of Rostau).

My Elementalist is named Symbaoe, which is the archaic spelling of Zimbabwe.

All three names, and a few more, are ones I have used for characters for about 15 years and they’re always similar builds within the limits of the game.

Dragonbrand – Reforged Vanguard [ReVa]
Kyxha 80 Ranger, Sokar 80 Necro
Niobe 80 Guardian, Symbaoe 45 Ele

One thing I hope Anet considers as far as their fairly strict naming policy..

Using a celebrity or historical figure or copyrighted fictional character’s name or intentionally mispelling it in a way that’s not a parody might be something that has to get changed…

but I hope that PARODY names that took some wit to come up with are let slide. It is fair use if it’s a parody.

A Human named Clint Eastwood might have to get changed (liability and all that)

But a Charr named Clint Beastwood? I really hope that can stay.

Anybody who actually reports “offensive” names or names that offended them neeeds to chill out. The Game has this great feature called “Blocking” if u block a person u don’t see any post/chat in game from said blocked people. Congradulations go on with ur GW2 experiance and have fun its really not affecting ur gameplay at all.

I abandoned Giant Enemy Charr and the thief Kill Death Ratio because Anet embarked on this crusade to wipe out unfitting names and people got automatically banned for 3 days just because 3 people reported them. I didn’t want to run the risk of someone reporting me because their sense of immersion wkittentered harder by Giant Enemy Charr than by the fact that they just took 20 bombs to the face and didn’t die.

So I ended up with Oskoreia which is Norse for Wild Hunt etc etc yawn. Boring.

At least I have the freedom to name my pet bears: Broken and Overpowered.

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

I had a bear named Bearack Obearma. He kicked kitten even though I deleted my ranger at level 3.

Sadly, most of the best names Ive seen are ones that were swiftly banned.

I myself do not have any offensive names, but when I see people post threads on the forum wondering why their account was banned, and then post their names…it cracks me up. Even though they are offensive, and I find some of them offensive myself, they still make me laugh.

Maybe its the fact that these people are really wondering why they were banned, haha.

After reading book 1 of: The Sword of Truth i had to name my mesmer: Mord-Sith. But that one was taken ^^ so i combined two of my favorite lore designs in 1 name:
-Mord Razac Sith
Also Razac was taken :(((((((((
So now i still have Ra Zac, which is actually a more accurate spelling of the name anyways, i’m only missing the “’” <- ^_^
Besides those 2 i have:
-Roarac = Norn Ele
-Mccrack = Charr Thief
-Raz o Rac = Charr Necro
Will get more char slots in the future for sure.

I’d hope so too. Sure most people will get that it’s a reference to Clint Eastwood, but it’s not direct use of the name itself, so unless Anet are being overly cautious I don’t see why they’d change these names, since they’re not inherently offensive (at least I don’t see how).

Also apparently more people thought of the Clint Beastwood one, because I a Charr spelled “Clynt Beastwood” the other day. It made me smile.
