Draymor the Lion.

At least, that was a suitable name for the ridiculously fantastic dwarven fighter I played Baldur's Gate II with. He was a freakin' brute...

If that doesn't suit you, search for "fantasy name generator" on Google. You'll find a ton of resources which will supply numerous candidates or, at least, names that can be altered or serve as inspiration.

...I think he meant that he's creating an RPG himself.

If that was the case... *shrugs* Dragon's Gate or something.

Oh. I figured he would post such a request in the Game Creation forum. What a silly notion that is .

But anyhow, avoid "Dragon's Gate" (sorry to use you for a "bad" example, Colleen ) or anything that includes either of those words. Be creative, or do what I would do: make the game first, using some sort of working title; when you've finished, you should have a good idea of what a fitting name would be.

Actually, I threw that one out there AS a generic example. It's good for a "working title", I suppose.

Hm... The "Gate" part could be kept but you have to come up with a really unique word to put in front of it. Then a small 3-4 word subtitle. Works all the time.

Assuming that your characters are keeping the end of the world from happening, you can name it "Apocalypse Eve"

Yes, it sounds like Parasite Eve, but then again, it sounds so different, too.

I think you should name it Kwidgibo.
Why: Because it's short, simple, and to the point. And it means absolutely nothing.

Kissekatt...

Or simple, your own name. Honestly... regular names can fit more in RPG's than you think.

Or you take your own name and play with it.

Or if you like something, look what it is named in another language and use that as a name. I have done that a few times.

In this game, what is the definition of a dragoon? I mean I've come across many. Either way, Jarukoth's "Character Name: Dragoon Chronicles" is good, but a bit cliched. Maybe if more info was given about the character, the story, etc., it would be easier to create a title.

Krieger X

I don't know what X would have to do with anything, and Krieger is a character I had in a baseball story, but still. Usually things with X in the title are cool. OK, maybe not, but it sounds cool.

It's something fun to do alone or with your family! Actually, it's true that you get cool names like this.

What I do for naming classes is find something cool yet overused, go through a thesaurus, and find something that means the same thing, but isn't overused.
