This toon’s name comes from the name of a druid from Terry Brooks’ Shannara series. It’s a popular enough name with the name being taken on every single server when I started playing (Feb '05) including my original server, Cenarion Circle. So…as new server got added to the game, I tried to grab it when the servers went live until I was able to get it on Dark Iron a few months after I started playing. Then…I never played him beyond the first few levels because I was busy on Cenarion Circle (then Thorium Brotherhood when it launched and my guild/friends moved). Nor do I post here on this character, though sometimes I do give out a to the Walkerbo from Saurfang that does post because I understand the frustration of settling for not the full name (pours a glass out for the dropped ‘h’). I refuse to delete the character—even though I pushing up against 50 characters again—because it was so hard to grab initially. I had to level to 10 to post

An old D&D supplement called the Shady Dragon Inn.
It had dozens of pre-made NPC characters for DMs to use in their campaigns to spice things up or supplement a party of player characters. One of the dwarf NPCs was “Rollo the Hammer.”
Well, Elegy means a poem or song for the dead … Both my undead toons have this theme. My undead priest is Eulogy (speech made for the dead - usually at a funeral).
And … it means I can make a moving speech or poem after the wipe …
I had to create an elven/elvish sounding and looking name. A lot of people pronounce my character’s name as Air-low-win, but in my head it is actually pronounced A-are-low-win. The little fancy ë with 2 dots serves no other function than to look elven/elvish.
Liianas is a Night-Elf-ish play on words for “Lioness”
And my main is a Monk named Kenshiro in reference to Fist of the North Star
People pronounce my name as Mercy and think it’s in reference to her, but it’s actually pronounced More-see and is a mix of my actual name.
When 8.3 was first put on the PTR I wanted to test out Vulpera, see how they looked/animations and all, and test the latest incarnation of Shaman.
Shaman is a class that had never held my interest, I’d try it every expansion BC on, and it wouldn’t keep my interest and I’d move on to others.
So I figured why not get my latest testing out Shaman again out of the way on this PTR character I was going to test regardless, and it’s a character that wouldn’t stick around anyway.
Long story short, I loved how enhancement shaman played, and it become of my favorites from that PTR test, and when 8.3 went live I made this char with the same name that was randomly generated for them for the PTR since I liked the sound of it.
random name generator
The original first 4 letters of my name were P-O-R-N. Which actually is a syllable that often comes up as a suggestion by the random name generator. When I got my free name change, I added an ‘o’.
I heard the same thing that “no hablo espanol” is wrong. IMO that makes it even better. That makes it even more clear that I don’t speak the language if I can’t even get the phrase that I don’t speak Spanish correct. Nice name
My name’s Charlie. And I’m a fox.
aw so adorable
I also have my other 2 character’s names which I am proud of: Alaniel and Phystrix.
Alaniel is my Priest - Name consists of 2 parts: Alani, meaning precious or beautiful & the suffix el meaning from God or of God.
Phystrix is my Warlock: I needed a venomous, vehement, and twisting sounding name and came up with Phystrix! Kinda sounds like Physical (Phys) and strix like the ROG strix.
I have 3 names I try to always use
Notallama - many many years ago I was playing Counter Strike and for some reason my name changed when I joined a server to Notallama. I liked it so much I try to use it any chance I get. I may or may not have a back story of being raised by llamas .
Gorasul - many many years ago I bought this PC game and enjoyed it. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone mention it or talk about it so the name is a lot of times available. I believe the full name of game is Gorasul: The Legacy of the Dragon. I got this game back when Comp USA was the best place to browse computer games.
Solidllama - kind of like my first name but combining Metal Gear Solid (Solid Snake) with llama. My brother would then use Liquidllama.
I clicked random and it was perfect. Also clicked random to get my initial look as it happens…
I swear it wasn’t because of the cartoon duck ~
Certainly, as there are no non-toy ducks in WoW, it wouldn’t fit
- Yes.
- The wheel of time
- Just WoW
- Not random.
- People confuse it for royal blood and have chased me down in game saying something ugly about The Davinci Code
- For me, it’s Callandor

I like Rita’s Italian Ice cream, so delicious.
I spend quite a bit of time when dreaming up the names and stories of my characters; that’s such a major part of the fun for me. I think about their personalities and what their values and lives are like, and I never settle until I come up with the one that feels…just right.
Charitygrace. I always liked the name ‘Charity’, and since I assumed the name alone would be taken, I decided to give her a middle name to go with it. Charity, a noble trait for a Paladin, and Grace, another beautiful woman’s name, again fitting perfectly with a Paladin of the Holy Light.
