What Your MMORPG Character's Name Says About You

A Guide to Picking a Name for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games

Name is derived from two or natural objects or creatures:
(Examples - Moonshadow, Forestwind, Fernfox)

Congratulations! You are playing an Elf, most likely an Elf Druid. You will express a deep understanding of nature and a deep caring for the natural inhabitants of the woods and forests, while simultaneously mowing down any of said creatures that cross your path for XP. 

Name is derived from implements of destruction, dangerous weather, and/or drinking and alcohol related activities:
(Examples - Thunderaxe, Stormblade, Alewind)

You are playing a dwarf. Your character is a member of one of the eldest races in the game, with a proud and honorable history. You will use this background as an excuse to drink inordinate amounts of beer in the nearest tavern, shout incoherently, and challenge everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) to a duel.

Name is excessively coquettish or suggestive, or inordinately cloyingly sweet:
(Examples - CuteGrrl, Swordvixen, BustyAmazon)

You are a male player, playing a female character. You have a deep unease about spending hours at a time staring at a male polygonal butt as you play, so have created a female character to appease your machismo. You also hope that other players may be likelier to group with women, in the hope of getting some action.

Name is suspiciously similar to a well known and popular hero from fantasy novels or movies:
(Examples - Gandalff, Drizzzt, Voldimort)

You were last in the queue when any imagination was being handed out. The good news is, you are now part of a large and ever-expanding family of similar-named players who discovered the actual name was already taken and couldn't be bothered to think of anything original. At least you'll have someone to talk to.
