What profession, gender and overall appearance will your charr be having? Does he have even the most basic of backstories behind the character? Sometimes, these can be helpful factors in choosing a name. Some charr also have Roman/Latin first names, to you might be able to draw from that historical era for inspiration.

Also, some (not all) accents are accepted in the name. I have a “Sailor Pluto” with an accent over the “a” and it differentiates mine from the one without the accent.

Hi there!

If you are thinking on creating a name that is faithful to lore and Charr culture, I’d recommend you take some time to read the pages below. These will give you an idea of how Charr names can be created.

If you’re like me, and enjoy reading to learn about the different races of Tyria, their culture and Lore in general, these sites will give you a much better understanding and will help you come up with a great name for your soon-to-be Charr:

With this information you should be able to come up with your very own name that you will feel identified and comfortable with.

Also the character’s profession can help you with it. For example, my Charr is named Rahk Silverblade, he is a male Warrior, Legionnaire of the Silver Warband serving the Blood Legion. He doesn’t like people; probably because his father passed away when he was just a cub, so he tends to explore Tyria on his own. Be careful to not kitten him off, because he will bite your head off if you do.

I had a lot of fun thinking on the name, the background and personality of my Charr, and I am very happy with the result. All that together gives a bit more life to the character and is not just another “toon”.

TL;DR: Just take a look at the websites I mentioned above, and if you are the type of person who is not that interested in Lore and Charr culture, and just wants a cool sounding name for your toon, without giving it much thought, check the website below, as well as the one poster by Vitus Dance, right above me:

I hope you have fun creating your new Charr; just let your imagination flow!

PS.: Sorry if I wasn’t clear, English is not my Native language! :P

Cheers!!
