I see lots of complaing about the name Hawke, what do you think would be a better last name?

Heh.

I feel the need to bring up Gaider's Laws of Naming Things once again, of which there are two:

1) No matter what you name something, because the only only bar to evaluate it is personal preference everyone will immediately hate it.

2) Eventually, once they begin to associate that name with the thing, they won't be able to imagine what else it could possibly have been called.

Yeah, let's use names that were already used in the first game!  How about Amell, or Cousland?  Those were cool.

No name is perfect, but i agree that Hawke is pretty cheesy. Only Kane/Cain would have been worse, well and Dante xD

I hate the name Gaider. But I have no clue how else to name you.

Wordsworth is so brittish it would make the main character born with a top hat and a monocle.

Personally, I'd rather enjoy a character name that cannot be used for silly jokes like "Tony Hawke" , "Mike Hawke" or "NightElfMo Hawke". Yet. that's just me.

I hate apostrophes in fantasy names. What linguistic purpose is it meant to serve? Guttural stop? Phonetic Gemination?
To look "fantasy"?

I think the hero in DA3 should have the last name of Hunt personally. Just keep the whole motif rolling and they can finally use a female as the face of the franchise heroine.



I am not hugely against Hawke to the point it will ruin the game for me, I just wince at it because the first thing it brings to mind is it's a very Hollywood Action Hero last name. The whole 'fight like a Spartan' combined with Hawke just makes you wince at how very hip and edgy they seem to want him to be.

Nope all these names I'm using variations from actual ones used in various fantasy games

I find Hawke to be a slight improvement over "Koozland".

I know. The fantasy naming convention of throwing in random apostrophes into names really needs to stop.

Hawke's not a bad name in itself, but I'm having some trouble thinking of first names that sound good with it.
