Guild Wars 2

Ok, Currently I want to call my Male Sylvari “Cirayu”, which in my opinion sounds somewhat “canthan”. It’s Sanskrit for Long Lived and “Chirayu” is a medicinal corporation thing.

The othe rnames I have are Abhata, Tejala, Pimotl, Jhinka and Cintan. all are Sanskrit ( My secret way to name characters with short names), even though Sylvari are named around gaelic name like Faolan ( i think) is a male name menaing wolf. and there is “Faolain” in game.

Is Cirayu ok? he’s a Sylvari Thief, and I’m hoping that when Thieves get greatsword sthey become like Samurai, katana users etc. including Belinda’s nodachi greatsword.

ANYWAY. is Cirayu ok?

Baby, have you SEEN some of the names in game? I’ve actually seen Sylvari named “Salad”.

You’re fine. Don’t be bound to lore in all things. Name your character as you see fit. The world will adjust. -Sid

I thought that was the name of the race /s

Honestly, I feel Sylvari are pretty much open to what their names can be. They don’t have a very long history and while there seem to be some naming conventions, I don’t feel it as being as “in stone” as other races. Personally, my Sylvari has quite the human name as she named herself after someone she came across in her wandering. That old human companion helped her come up with her name.

That site is amazing for names.

Lorewise sylvari names are Gaelic. The sylvari with two or more names have split with the community somehow.
