SandMan131313 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 This has always been something I have trouble with when making a character. I can never make a name that suits the game. Sometimes I can but for the most part I spend forever thinking of different names. So I was wondering what names you guys use. Ones I've used in the past were Denard, a Nord warrior, and Alice, a spellsword/hunter of undead. There not bad names, but I'd like to play as an Elf sometime or Argonian and picking a name that fits them is damn near impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AurianaValoria1 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Try this: http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/?p=modding_data/ngen It especially helps with beast race names, which aren't fashioned after much of anything. Breton names are typically French. Imperial names tend to sound like Greek/Roman ones. Nordic names, of course, have a Scandinavian flavor. Elven names tend to lean towards Tolkien-ish sounds, or sometimes Celtic names. Ashlander Dunmer actually sound a lot like Babylonian names. Hope this gives you some ideas. :smile: Edited May 23, 2013 by AurianaValoria1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy2211 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) I usually use this site for names. However I usually play a Nord character. http://www.20000-names.com/female_norse_names.htm Edited May 23, 2013 by sandy2211 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisladyisavamp Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 This is embarrassing, but I go to this baby names website whenever I name my characters in a game! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampireDante Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 The subsections of this listing might help: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Names The listings for the shown races (the horizontal list under the page title) gives a lot of the used names from the existing games, so making something based on those is likely to have it "fit" into the game world more easily.

Dweedle Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 If your into making warrior nord males a name I use is Harald Dragon-Tooth which is sort of a homage to Harald Blue-Tooth (Ancient Viking military leader). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I remember that name from Civ V? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted4349949 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 They may not necessarily be lore-friendly, but I like using this website... the list of name and accuracy of their history and etymology is pretty amazing!http://www.behindthename.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glion Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Well, if you ever play an Orc, I have a suggestion "Noochembacher".... XD Or even Throthgar for a Breton XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodtveidt Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I don't really pick typical TES names, i Always use my own name or a name of a band like Sepultura, Havok or even Morbid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
