My human Rogue (male) is called Tenzo, I've always liked that name. I believe it is Japanese. Dual wielding daggers, cunning build.



My human Rogue (female) is called Clare, after Clare from the Claymore anime series. I even modeled the character after her as best I could at the creation screen. She's an Archer who finally got her buff with awakening.

Jane....because there are so many famous Janes. It is a plain name, and yet it carries so much weight and expectation. I hate naming my characters something fancy, I sometimes think a plain name has more impact.

Female Elf Mage called Pandora. I'm a fan of greek mythology so often use names from that. My Male Human Noble is called Alexander which is a more plain name i stole from a commercial about a Meerkat that only the British board members will likely know about.

The character in my avatar, a Dalish Elf, I named Kelaedore (keh-laya-door). I started with Celador, derived from "Cellar Door", supposedly the most beautiful phrase in the English language (it has been said). From there I just kind of fantasy-ized it a bit until I ended up with that pronunciation and spelling, which I like. I'm a sucker for the "ae" double letter.

Among others, I have two elves called Raelis Shai and Phaere that BG2 fans surely recognize. A little tribute to Bioware, they're better with names I ever could be ;)
Also have a human noble female called Silmarien, inspired by Tolkien.


Raelis Shai was awesome, I didn't like Phaere much though.

I named my character Tyran. It's been a nickname I've had for most characters in most games for a few years now so I might as well continue the trend.

I have a Female Dalish Elf Rogue name Ralph, I always name my characters either Ralph, Steve or Stupid, no matter what race or gender.

Called my favorite character Cousland - Kaelyn. I just like the name, really, and besides I couldn't think of anything better )) With other wardens I didn't really bother and left their "canon" names for I never took them further than Ostagar..

I have so many unfinished characters... Currently I have:



Dwarf Commoner Female - Johcasta (from the Greek Oedipus trilogy, spelling slightly modified)

Dwarf Noble Male - Odin (Norse god, no particular reason except it seemed to fit in well with Bhelen and Trian)

Dalish Elf Female - Kaigua (actually found on graffiti in a public toilet and it sounded fittingly exotic)

City Elf Female - Arisara (again, came across the name randomly and liked it enough to use)



The two playthroughs I HAVE finished are both Human Nobles:



Sebastian (possibly my favourite male name ever, means 'revered')

Fearchara (chosen after I discovered all the Cousland names are Scottish in origin, Fearchara meaning 'dear')



Great thread!

Fellow, because I'm terrible at coming up with names, especially that sound a little middle-ages style, and I wanted something that didn't sound too distinguished. So Fellow Cousland it was.

My first human noble male character was named Davian.  Why?  It's original.  I don't really have historical background or reasons for any names.
Zeldrian and Seran are other names I can remember

Prince Leonin Aeducan - a variation of the word "leonine", which means "lion-like." After I made the character, I realized he looked a little bit like a lion - it just seemed fitting, and it also has a nice ring to it when you say it out loud.

My Dalish Warden's name is Asenath.
Apparently it's a fairly common name for women in modern-day Israel, but when I picked it out, I was thinking more along the lines of its original meaning (that is, Egyptian for 'beloved of the goddess Anat').

Anat herself was a Syrian war goddess- there's a fragmentary passage that describes her as "wading knee-deep in blood, striking off heads, cutting off hands, binding the heads to her torso and the hands in her sash, driving out the old men and townsfolk with her arrows, her heart filled with joy".

My Warden's an archer, and she's a little... well, let's face it, she's a little unstable. And by that I mean extremely short-tempered. And by that I mean "liable to put an arrow through your eye if you get in her way".
Granted, she mellows considerably by the end of the game, but in the beginning she's blunt, vindictive, and possesses a mean streak a mile wide. (In other words, prickly. Very, very prickly.)

I thought it was fitting. :3

My Dalish Warden's name is Galen. It's greek origin and it means calm. Which suits him very well, he's calm, caring and gentle.

its simple enough, what did you name your PC(s) and why, everyone has a motivation for calling them what ever they did for some reason and i just thought it would be intreasting to see the names and reasons behind it all.

now i'll go irst, i called my Human male warrior Achilles because for those of you that know even the slightest bit about greek mytholgy your'll know that Achilles is meant to be the greatest warrior that ever lived and i found it fitting that if my guy is gonna save Thedas than this is in appropiate name, i also love the fillm troy and brad pitts performance in it not to mention i find greek mytholgy highly intreasting. So now its your turn, fire away.


I'm Greek so...I know.It's cool!Hehehe!

I named my character Tsagia from what I remember because...that's half my surname.Oh...male character of course not female.
