Guild Wars 2

Reposting cuz no one rated my name sniffle

@The Mastrodon

8/10 for Magnus the Boulder. It’s appropriately Nornish sounding, appropriate for his profession (which I’m guessing is ele), however it’s not as original as I would consider a 10/10 Norn name.

My female Norn ranger:

Svalinka

I had the intention of naming her “Svala” however it was already taken, so I added a Russian diminutive suffix. Don’t like how I had to do that though, ’cause it sounds less Norse-inspired then.
In-game I don’t like using multi-worded names ’cause I find them annoying to type. However if I were to give the Norn ranger a full name it would be:

Svala Valkyrsund

Svala = Old Norse roots for “swallow,” like the bird
Valkyr- = valkyrie (perhaps she shrieks like a valkyrie when she attacks, IUNNO xD)
-sund = Nordic surname affix meaning “sound”

Haha whaaa you didn’t rate “Qaali” xD.

(^I already went so I’ll let someone else rate your “Zephyllia”)

@Morbridae

You got a chuckle out of me with the whole “he doesn’t know his surname” bit.

8/10 – I really like the name, especially relating it it to death and the like with him being a necro. I also really like one-word names, so plus for that. Not a perfect 10/10 to me only because instead of a Nordic/Viking phonetic feel, I instead get a Latin (and distantly Celtic) flavor, which is atypical of Norn lore.

• -sund = Nordic surname affix meaning “sound”

Oh hai agian, CrossFire :D !

I’ll split the names up:
8/10 for Ashe. My name is actually Ashley so I guess I’m a bit biased, but hey it goes with the ranger and forest theme though, if you relate Ashe to ash trees ^^.
5/10 for Woods. A plus in that it’s woods-related and you’re a ranger…but I just found it to be too plainly direct and boring.

1. My female elementalist’s given name is

Zerytha,

though I actually wanted her to be Zeryth, since I use it for my accounts in everything, but alas it was taken for the first time here! I added “a” at the end begrudgingly to keep with the name. Sounds more feminine, but I’m upset it switches the stressed vowel. I have favorite letters V, X, Y, Z, and TH (theta), and a managed to weave 3 sounds into this name. It’s concise and not overly flowery/cliche. (^Wow sorry rambled about sounds there.)

2. Female thief:

Vixsique (viks-seek)

• from vixen (female fox, which are lithe and nimble, appropriate for thieves)
• -ique French suffix creating adjective from noun

And then my female mesmer whose name I don’t like and will change “eventually”:

3. Villynia (sounds like the word “millenia”)

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

Oh it can’t read Greek letters…the “???” was just the Greek root that the Gaelic morpheme borrowed from

^put as spoiler ’cause of how long the response was to CrossFire

blahblahblah my own female Sylvari warrior’s name:

Aerriwyn

aer = ??? = air, mist, blue/grey (as in sky-colored)
-ri- = filler morpheme
wyn = white

She is fair of skin, with hues of blue and grey/white armor color scheme.
Issue I have with my name is that it doesn’t sound fierce like a warrior T.T
