"The Most Common Online Character names"

[eXo]

Well we all know that for

HUmar = Trunks/Sephiroth/or one of the other Super Saiyans

and RAcast has alot of Names from the Transformer series

RAcast = favorite transformer here

But what are some of the other popular names online because I wont to avoid those names at all cost http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

The main name that im concerned about is what are most FOmar's named?

And what about the HUwearls

well i'll like to take this time,to thank everyone for there perticipation in advance,its greatly appreciate http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif must avoid those common names at all cost http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[s3rial_one]

Well, for common names, stay away from anything pertaining to Gundam, Dragonball, or a host of the other crappy anime that the Cartoon Network shows.

...and if you're looking for other names to avoid, having any of the names mentioned above, along with sniper/snipah, mastah, killer/killah, psycho, or whatever words with random Zs the current trendiest, illiterate ghetto trash rapper has made up will instantly identify you as a major tool and or/lamer, ADD-riddled 12 year-old. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

You can get some cool names if you dig around online. I use (often obscure) Norse, Greek, Celtic and Roman gods for the names of most of my characters.

[Liet]

I prefer names from SciFi legends like ummmm...
<----- !Dune!


ps i hate the 80's movie. it is an embarrassment to the series. RAWR

[LegendaryMage]

I name my characters mostly off of Old Square games (Chrono Trigger, FF6, ect...) but I havent been online yet so I dont know how many FOnewms are named Magus http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Zeebo]

common games and catoons popular names,,,

[Elvendar]

I often use the names i've been using since my old roleplaying days (Elvendar and Elsendor,) But I also often use the names of various Legends from Magic: the Gathering.

[Benjamin]

I have seen about a hundred Links! some grren some orange some HUmar some FOnewm

[Phelan]

I am a big fan of Norse names myself.

[Joe-Azlin]

i usually go with w/e anime series i want or w/e section id i like.

[Zeebo]

Just think of a original name you like or some less knowable animes or games like Oni that sounds cool =Z

[Foggy_Pete]

dont forget the 'dark (insert second cliche here)'
i dont know how many Darkknights, darkninjas, darkkillas ive seen just in the past few minutes. thats the most overused name for any class

Sorry for being a bit off topic,but I don't remenber any "crappy" anime on cartoon network? Ever heard of Toonami?

[Jonathais_GC]

ok in my experiance its either....

Cloud/Sephiroth
Vegeta/Trunks
Legolas

[s3rial_one]

Sorry for being a bit off topic,but I don't remenber any "crappy" anime on cartoon network? Ever heard of Toonami?

Toonami's just a collection of shows on the cartoon network (I think Fox picked it up, too); it's still the same network.

Besides, crap like Dragonball, Gundam, and many of the others Toonami shows are absolute bottom-of-the-barrel garbage. Horrible art, horrible writing, horrible translations. I mean, hell... I'd be suprised if every half hour episode of Dragonball had more than 5 total frames of animation. Break it down by parts... you've got 10 minutes of commercials, 3 minutes of recap from the last episode, 5 minutes of babbling about "power", and 12 minutes of grunting and screaming.

And then Gundam, with it's whiny, angsty, anti-social teenagers... if it was any more lame, it'd be a Squaresoft game. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Back on topic, though, vitually anything that's derrived from another video game or a popular movie is going to wind up being a cliche, or at least common name.

One thing I used to do is to use the name generators in DAoC or EQ, and keep generating names until something gave me an idea.

[kat]

Yeah, stay away from the anime and the video game referenes (especially Final Fantasy) unless you're going for someone that's an obscure supporting character no one would recognize...

What I recomend is that you browse a modern baby name book... there's some good ones online... and you might find some very interesting ideas.

[2Xtreme]

Here's my surefire way to have original character names: Bacon! At one point, I had Liquid Bacon, Magic Bacon, Mini Bacon, and Robo Bacon.

[IceBlink]

I used songs for my first two characters. Hehe.

IceBlink = from "Iceblink Luck" by Cocteau Twins.

Lyric = ... c'mon, pretty obvious

Ra'asiel = derived from the angel name Ra'asiel X, an angel invoked in ritual magic (c'mon, what does PBs look like? a ritual!)

Common names... any of major DBZ cast, in any variation (SS, SSJ, SS2, SSJ2, etc etc up to 5, +name of character in various spellings), all gundam pilots and their gundams (though not as rare), the bad guys of squaresoft games (Sephiroth is a major hit), Transformer names (generally the powerful ones, aka Optimus, Megatron, Ultramagnus, Starscream, etc, nobody is gonna be BumbleBee), any kind of 'darkness' somewhere in the name (Dark, Shadow, etc), Japanese anime swordsmen (HUmar with katana-type weapon, complete with quote)... list goes on and on. Hehe

You're probably more likely to see a FOmar named Magus that is armed with a Soul Eater...

[Tulathis]

nobody is gonna be BumbleBee
If I were forced at gunpoint to name a character after a TF character, you can be sure it would be BumbleBee, the true brains of the opperation.

As for common PSO names, I'd say all of the aforementioned, as well as a lot of SW references such as Darth (fill-in-the-blank), and Boba Fett. Not to mention the names Zero, Glacier, Shadow, Ghost, et cetera. Originality is a commodity spread thin through the PSO ranks. But if you like a name, hey, go for it.

hehe indeed i usually go 4 names of hot chicks 4 my female chars. 4 my male char ill usually use my real life nickname in some form or the other http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[GuerillaPimp]

back when i was a lurker on this board, I remember this Barubary guy doin a search online for the most common names. I think "Dark" and "Shadow" came up the most, im most likely wrong though.

I saw the Dune series and the Children of Dune series. Personally i didn't like CoD. But i did notice that all the Males in the family line end up dead.

I personally name my characters for the Section ID for which i want.

[Elusive_Llama]

I mean, hell... I'd be suprised if every half hour episode of Dragonball had more than 5 total frames of animation. Break it down by parts... you've got 10 minutes of commercials, 3 minutes of recap from the last episode, 5 minutes of babbling about "power", and 12 minutes of grunting and screaming.


Dragonball Z is nowhere near the league of anime shows such as Macross Plus, Jin-Roh, Mononoke, etc etc, but some episodes are fun to watch. It sucks, but it's fun, if that makes any sense.

I do agree that much of each episode are powerup sequences followed by over-the-top battles where each combatant progressively 'reveals his true power' while destroying everything around them. Way, WAY overdone.


And then Gundam, with it's whiny, angsty, anti-social teenagers... if it was any more lame, it'd be a Squaresoft game.

Wasn't Kingdom Hearts by Squaresoft?

Anyway, I think you're talking about Gundam Wing, the one where the Gundams look ridiculously overdressed (except for the one with all the guns...can't have too many guns).

If you've ever watched Gundam: War in the Pocket, you'd might start to see the show the way it is supposed to be - a statement on the senselessness of war, and not just some anime filled with giant mecha.


As for names to avoid, don't be another one of the million Sephiroths, Clouds, Gokus, Vegetas, SSJMAJINs, Gotenks, Gogetas and other DBZ/FF7/FF8/FF10 filth. Avoid names from popular teenage anime shows like Gundam Wing and Pokemon.

Don't ever name your character offensively. 'STFU BISH' isn't a very good name to inspire respect for your character.

Keep away from names which overcompensate ie. 'Shadowkilla', 'Ninjakilla', 'Darkmasta'. However 'Gosukiller' is a good battlemode name ;>

Also, don't use names from LOTR seeing as the movies (which were excellent, btw) were released to the general public and every teenager out there now wants to be a Legolas or a Sauron.

As for names you might use:

TF names are cool, because classic TF is a good series. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

Cowboy Bebop is also good. It's one of the few anime series aimed at a more intelligent audience - the kind which can appreciate subtle humor.

My Ramarl is named Yuri (as in Kei and Yuri), for obvious reasons. I wish she had a battle bikini instead of those pantaloons...but oh well.

Names from Battle Angel Alita are good, as I don't see alot of Gallys, or Jashugans, or Desty Novas running around. (A Humar named Jashugan has yet to be seen. Come to think of it...a Fonewm with goggles named Desty Nova would rock. KYAHAHAHAHA! NOW GIVE ME MY FLAN!)

Hmm...names from Norse, Greek, Roman and Indian (as in India) mythology are good. My mules are named Hera, Minerva, Calliope and Lachesis.

Original names are the best. My Hunny and Fonewearl characters were named from a fanfic (Xallah, Sandra), as are the names of my friends' characters.

Original names with a background are quite fun sometimes. My Racast's name was something I made up: 'T-90 COMBAT'. I figured that androids are manufactured SOMEWHERE on Pioneer 2, so why not make up an imaginary model/series of android racasts and run with it?

The T-90 series were supposed to be cleaning droids, but somebody left out a commar in the programming of their logic drivers and now they're out there cleaning up the 'trash' on Ragol. This makes for some hilarious chat shortcuts like

"Removes even the toughest stains, or your meseta back!"

"Try T-90 brand bleach, it burns!!"

If all else fails, make up names based on obscure items (ie. ginko biloba).

[Jonathais_GC]

I allways try to use original names aimed for a specific id. Last time it took about 3 hours to find a good skyly name that liked.

[s3rial_one]

Cowboy Bebop is also good. It's one of the few anime series aimed at a more intelligent audience - the kind which can appreciate subtle humor.

I couldn't agree with you more! Cowboy Bebop is one of the few anime series I actually like. I've had the movie, imported, for a while now, but I'm actually going to see it at the theater tonight!

...and Mononoke, quite frankly, is awesome. They did such a good job dubbing it to English, too. It's got, in my opinion, the best movie soundtrack ever to boot.

[Riffin]

I'm not too big on anime, but I do watch what I can get my hands on. I saw Kenshin subtitled before it was ever on Toonami, and my question is: Is Myazaki's Spirited away just a disney movie in anime disguise or is it actually as good as the critic's say? Please let me know soon, I am going to see it Tuesday next week.

Thanks.

Oh, I use names to get Sect ID's too, but avoid all common ones. I try to use orginal stuff that sounds cool, like Riffin, Wrecca, and Quell. (Mith is one of my offline Chars also.)

[Elusive_Llama]

Jet, do you know there are three things I particularly hate? Kids, animals, and women with attitudes. So tell me, Jet. Why do we have all three neatly gathered here in our ship!?


LOL.

And Hayao Miyazaki is a master at what he does. There's something about his films which set them apart from the rest, maybe it's the underlying message which the shows convey from start to end. I dunno. All I know is that if it's produced by him, it's worth watching.


edit:

Of all the Miyazaki films I've seen, none of them are Disney abominations in disguise. This includes Mononoke Hime, Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbour Totoro and Castle of Cagliostro. Nobody breaks out into spontaneous song, and the closest thing to the requisite Disney sidekick is Kiki's black cat (she's a witch, she NEEDS a talking black cat).

About the only Disney movies which I can tolerate watching are The Lion King (I fastforward through the singing parts) and The Emperor's New Groove. The latter show in particular shows a shift in Disney thinking when it comes to film production. The only singing part is in the beginning, cleverly disguised as the intro, and there are no cute sidekicks. Besides, the main character is a freakin' llama ;>

[MetalGriever]

One might want to steer clear of some Japanese names or words unless you know what they mean (I had a FOmarl named Kakkoyosa in DCv2, which meant "style") I'm equally guilty of the "Dark/Shadow/Gundam" bit. Hell, DarkEpyon, the name I use pretty much everywhere is a hybrid of that. As for Zeota, I'd made that up sometime in 1996 (or so I thought at the time) but it turns out it's an actual female name. An extremely rare one.

[Elusive_Llama]

Oh, Elusive_Llama comes from playing online FPS games like Day of Defeat. Because the term 'llamas' refer to (among other things) 'no skill campers', and elusive means 'hard to catch', I figured to put the two together and get the elusive llama. The ultimate 'hard to catch, harder to shoot, no skill camping bastard'.

ps. Camping requires no skill. Staying alive to continue camping DOES require skill. If you play Day of Defeat, watch for Comrade Yasminkov...that's me, heh.

[Thumbalina2k]

the most common names i see are from the FF series, and a lot of Zero names too (from megaman i believe). I myself get names from wherever, Juno is roman goddess better known as Hera. Thumbalina2k, well disney http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif and Mi-Cha, just wanted asian/korean, because those names are hella cool!

[Buuyon]

Well the network has some goos anime...nuit nack to the topic...i have a common name...yes yes yes im a victem too...well i had an RPG and the main chars nick name was Shadow so i made it my HUmars name...when i first started tho...there wasnt like any shadows but then they poped outta no where! well there deing down now so maybe poeple wont talk to me saying "Hey I like you new costume!" then i say "WHat?" and they say "who are you?" then me "Go away..."...

[Murako]

I named my RAcast Dr. Mario. I do see alot of DBZ/FF crap, and I've seem 100 green FOnems namde Link. Never seen another Dr. Mario or nay Mario name though. Mario the FOnewm! Only uses foie!

[Mirth]

dbz names are a no, other animes(unless its a not widely known one) are a no, rap names, names that look like ThIs, and names spelled wrong are a no. name it something cool. look back into history for a great king or general god or something, epics have a lot of names in them to use or you could take some from shaksphere(sp?) im sure he wont mind, hes dead,or find a site that has japanese names on it or chinese, african, whatever. or make one up

[LegendaryMage]

And then Gundam, with it's whiny, angsty, anti-social teenagers... if it was any more lame, it'd be a Squaresoft game. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif


Off topic: Hey I may not be a Gundam Fan but where do you get off insulting Squaresoft?

On topic:If I still was signed up for everquest I would use their name generator, I came up with some good games using that.

[Kaiza]

i just put a bunch of letter together that sound nice, and see what comes out - like
Ragon
Drakai
Kaiza (My fave obviously)

[Mystil]

Silhouette is now a common name...

No one is creative anymore..?

[LegendaryMage]

Or maybe great minds think alike?

[LoreSeeker]

I just use the name Lore seeker, which I have been using for years now. My HUmar has a slightly less original name: Sesshomaru, from Inu Yasha. My crappy little FOmar has the name Leaf, and I haven't seen anyone yet with that name.

If you want to avoid any names in particular, please steer clear of the DBZ names and most of the Gundam ones. You would be better off sticking with a minor character from an old RPG or something like that. Shadow is too popular, and I have no idea why. Maybe Sonic, maybe not. The world may never know.

[RiGoRmOrTiS_UK]

I havnt seen anyone else named Romanova so I'm happy http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[Mag_Launcher]

OMFG Zeebo, me too! You probably already know that's where my RAmarl's name came from (Oni forever, w00t!). And, my main name of all, hailing from the underrated and often hated RPG series, Evolution. As for any other characterss besides Konoko and Mag, It's kinda random. Like my HUmar, similar to the person of the same name in Dark Cloud 2. I'm still debating on on a 4th character...

I GUESS my name is original. Haven't really seen many people use it much. Haven't seen it AT ALL on Episode 1 & 2. I saw that most Mag Launchers on Version 2. There was one I became friends with, and there were a small handful of others that were just assholes trying to imitate me (They were, they said it to my face.) because I pissed them off at some point in time.

But I have been known as Mag Launcher from the very first day of PSO Version 1's release. So I do not hesitate to push my superiority over all these wannabe posers claiming they're me.

Betta reco'nize, bish!



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Mag_Launcher on 2003-04-05 16:23 ]</font>

[MetalGriever]

If strapped for good characters, one could try one of those D&D name generators (which I think has been mentioned before), or mythology from Egypt, Greece, Rome etc. One could even try the Bible. It's got some good names in there too.

w00t! My PB cry is "Fear is the mindkiller..." http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

As for the most common name of all time...probably Cloud.

[Tseng]

Just like so many other DBZ and other popular Animes are much used names. Lately I've seen alot of Dantes... I also see a lot of Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X names. Shoot I've also seen at least two Kaedes, Moriyas, Yukis, Kyos, Ioris etc. etc. (Snk Characters).

The name I have under this account is the name of my ranger. It's based off a series of stories I'm working on where a man becomes a wandering healer and is forced to bear the name Tseng... however unusually there is a FF Character named Tseng. >_<

I named my RAcast Bender... I like Futurama.

The way I see it, if you really like the name and you're able to maintain common courtesy there should be no problem.

[WraithAkaMrak]

I love Cowboy Bebop, but you do see a few Spikes around.

I've seen a lot of Shadows.

And the Dragonball Z / FF VII stuff has been covered already.

[boomaslayer]

As for names to avoid, don't be another one of the million Sephiroths, Clouds, Gokus, Vegetas, SSJMAJINs, Gotenks, Gogetas and other DBZ/FF7/FF8/FF10 filth. Avoid names from popular teenage anime shows like Gundam Wing and Pokemon.


Pokemon is stil popular!?

[CGoodness]

Try Murray im the only one i know who uses that name but i dont even play online

[BeatZero]

i like to find obscur names from anime/games (hey anime chars always have interesting names).

Ayanami (my new RAmarl)is from Rei Ayanami, everyone knows where thats from...i saw several Rei character so while searching for a cool purpliniuma (spelled wrong i know) i found her last name worked! yippy!

[Raziel_Kai]

A good name is kinda hard to think up or find.

My two characters, Aziel and Raziel Kai are basically something I thought of on the spot. I had recently seen the whole Evangelion series and I kinda wanted to make a HUcast in white, that would look like an EVA 05. But instead of labeling it as EVA or a "Angelkilla", I tried to think up some name that sounded like an angel's.

Aziel was the first ever character I made, on the DC, but since I never got the modem, he didn't debut ever on the online game.

Raziel Kai was supposed to be some kind of 'rebirth' for Aziel... but the problem was I didn't have my DC around with me to remind myself of the correct name (Aziel), so I put in Raziel (probably some video game made me do it subconsciously http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif), and added Kai (which means, in mecha terms, better model)...

One of the best names I have seen yet with my friends' characters is Fritz. He's a Fonewm that looks just like he ditched Willy Wonka and his gang.

[Kthak]

When I get around to making a HUcaseal, I'm going to name her Armitage

[Captain_Dude]

I still hope I see some people naming their a character "Thee" in tribute of the greatest Japanese Noise Punk band of all time, Thee Michelle Gun Elepahnt!

I'm naming my HUcaseal "Thee", cause I'm a huge TMGE fan. ANd "Thee" is a good name anyway, it's also unisex, so people can use it for any variety of characters! Hehehe...

*Sings Get Up Lucy*

[Pai-chan]

I think im the only Pai (3x3 eyes) online at the moment. My favoret source for names has got to be the AD&D rule book just avode the names used in the pc games.

[FluxGryphon]

I tend to search for actual names and find out what they mean or make up my own based on how they sound and what Section ID they make. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

As for common names, I've actually seen more Evangelion references. Misato as a RAmarl is popular, as well as any Eva unit as a HUcast. The one I see the most is a pale-haired Kawaoru (sp?) as a FOmar. I've also seen Shinji a number of times...

I'm probably WAY off topic here, but being a large Gundam fan (and literate, and educated to boot.) I have to disagree with your statement :) If you'd like to amend it to say that Gundam Wing (Known as Gundam LITE amongst most hardcore fans) is crap, I'd be happy to agree. The Original Gundam series, and everything that's attached to that timeline is phenominal :)

I'm done being off topic now. lol.


I use old Role-playing game names, or in some cases old Phantasy Star names from the Japanese versions of the games. (Yusis Noa, for example, the hero of Phantasy Star II. In case anyone didn't know.)

Why do you hate Gundam so? I dont know if you are old enough but Gundam has been one of the pioneering and most defining anime series out of the entire genre. No anime is perfect, but you should at least accept that Gundam is as much a part of anime culture, if not more than any other anime.
Secondly, toonami has some good anime shows. Cowboy Beebop, in my opinion is one of the best executed animes thats ever been made. Yes its main stream but the plots and music and characters were masterfully combined.. there is so much depth to that series. Dont just go around blasting certain anime because you 'think' you are hardcore. People need to stop trying to be so elitist about anime and just enjoy them. They were made to be enjoyed..

[Droxitr]

Also, the whiny angst-ridden teenagers are in Gundam Wing, which is not even related to the 'real' Gundam series.

Gundam Wing was part of an effort to bring life back to the series on one of it's anniversaries. (can't remember which one)

It's also, IMO, the worst alternate universe for Gundam.

But please don't judge the entire... franchise for lack of a better word, until you get to know it better.

[Chibi-Chan]

I just made some simple names for my characters.. my first two I had forgotten about the section IDs. One is named Gold because its the color of the hucaseal. The other is named Philia after the character from Slayers Try. My last two I named with section IDs in mind.

[ALPHAM0F0]

want a nice origonal (anime) name?
how about Akito (martian succesor nadesco)
i dont see much of those

[ShadowChao]

Hey, my first post since I got back into PSO! YAY!

Actually, this is to explain myself, not that I need to.
I'm guilty of using Shadow. Why? You're probably going to skip most of this message, but it's all true!
Back in Feb of 2000, I was drawing a character that was a spin-off of Sonic the Hedgehog. I called him ShadowSonic, since he was all black with blue shoes. Then, on the 22nd, I was hit with inspiration (or logic) and just re-drew him a bit better and called him Shadow. Since then he's been my screen name, email name, nickname and game name. Completely original to ME, and then SonicTeam decided to name this new black/red hedgehog in SA2 "Shadow"... I was PISSED. Sega's Shadow is called "Poser" by me and some close friends of mine.

Anyway, to sum it up, I thought of Shadow first, in my view. Maybe others have a similar situation?

Oh, back when I played DCv2 PSO, a lot of the DBZ-related named characters were hackers/dupers/lamers. Not saying all, but I've only been PKed by tiny characters with SSJ in front of their names.

[DiemNights]

Personally, I tend to go with original names: My HUmar is named Diem Nights (short for Nightstone) Which translates to Day. Pretty nice sounding eh? Named after an old D&D char I used to run. As for my FOmar, he's got a whole history behind him: He's an angel... well, in the LARP I used ta run him in he's fallen. But in PSO, he's still angelic. His name's Ikkaron . The three spaces are just for a pinkal id and it's unintrusive. As for customizing him, I've got the holy white, gold and purple robes, and a pair of angel wings for my MAG!
I am guilty of naming ONE character out of all of them after a Gundam series tho: my RAcast is RX-78-2 The original model number for Gundam.... which is still slightly more obscure then some of the more common Gundam names used for em http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif But hey, I made him as a theme, with Gundam colors, and Gundam-similar rifles (The WALS I believe, and purple or red beam sabers.

Dragon ball things for Hunters and Rangers(SSJBob), final fantasy things for almost all (Aka: Tidus, Lulu,Cloud,). Their real names. ******* spelled out (I saw two Zeros today. IN THE SAME GAME!). Anything that sounds remotly cool for anyone (Wazzup). Anything with things like ~*(BoBy)*~ infront of it.
Real sounding names. It is quite strange really. But one rant. I havent seen anyone with names from FinalFantasyTactics yet. Or the Simpsons...
