These are all wonderful names!
Black Dragon name.
Based on the word de-creation, which is just another way of saying destruction.
well
to be fair
i was a dk at one point
considering going back tbh
Before I came to WoW I was playing Ultima Online, this guy is a more-or-less copy of my main from there. We could have multi-word names there and mine was Adrian Ventura (taken from early 80s pro wrestling tag team Adrian Adonis and Jesse Ventura, I thought it was clever), but since the closest we can get to a multi-word name here is getting Jenkins I had to shorten it to Adrianv (pronounced Adrian V)
Forsaken Death Knight, seemed appropriate

My wife and I had our fifth child last January. Kaedrick was the name I had picked if it were a boy. I couldn’t let the name go to waste so I named my mage Kaedrick and my hunter to a variation and my horde hunter and mage to variations as well.
Sounds Cool for a warlock I think
She’s pretty.

I dunno. I tried Lilith but couldn’t get it. But while hitting backspace, the check came up for Lili. So I accepted it.
Just in general—I just start typing stuff until I get one that actually sounds like a good fantasy name.
BUT, not just randomly, and I usually use real-world cultures to dictate the name:
- Undead have English-ish names for me. Stuff like “Wr–” or “–ough” or “–ane”
- Dwarves have Irish or Scottish sounding names, like stuff that ends with “ley”
- Pandaren always have one- or two-syllable names, from Mandarin, stuff like “Hei” (black) “lin” (woods) “Shan” (mountain) or “dao” (dagger)
- Elves end with a vowel because it gives it a sort of magical sound.
Diacritics should be used very sparingly, if at all, and in a way that actually is supposed to indicate pronunciation, not just for looks. For example, “ue” may make the “ooo” sound, but “ué” or “uë” make the “way” sound.
Stuff like that. The character creator screen and choosing a name will honestly make or break the toon for me. I know you can change stuff at the barber, but for names it’s gotta be good
Also, I’m not an rper at all lol but it just ruins my entire character, the mog, everything, if I had some name like “Pallybro” “Mrroguekill” or something.

This is a good name for a Elf, simple too
Though I’d like to credit Tolkien or Final Fantasy, the reason I chose Fastitocalon is because it’s the name of a demon in one of the book series that I read last year.
Since I tend to chain my characters together into family members or something similar to make rp a little easier; quite a few characters on this account have a name like [something that ends in o]calon: Kehalocalon, Taelocalon, etc. I do stray from that formula though, especially if making a non-Belf. My most recent is a Vulpera shaman named Thunderwear, a character I likely won’t play, I was just really tired and thought I was being “clever”.
On my original account, my main was named after an Airwolf character.

There was a word used in the movie Duplex “Tiketiboo” or something like that so I chopped off the T and went with Iketiboo. It meant “in a flash,” like I’ll be there in a tiketiboo. I thought it was cute.
I click random until I get a name that sounds good. AFAIK I am the only one to ever use the name Chaloryn.
Well, I have played on the Eredar server since vanilla. so I was going for a play on being Eridarian. And then this name just kind of happened, I liked it. And ran with it. I decided it will be my name going forward for new MMO’s to kind of remember my MMO roots.
