Names

[AurianaValoria1]

I've always found it fun to try and find a really good, meaningful name for my characters. :smile: What about you?

 

Does anyone have any good ideas for character names in Skyrim (especially Nord characters)?

 

They can be male or female, any race. What are your thoughts?

[Sin911]

My character will be Selenia Bladesong :D

[LordWushin]

Wushin is always my TES characters name. Everywhere else it is Lazgul (or for LOTRO Glorvindor). I don't know why but it always gets me.

Franz Frostsword?

Igor Icebringer?

Lurarana Longfreeze?

Sofie Snowdweller?

 

limitless possibilities

Sonya Shoutlonger?

Victor Vocal?

It depends on the character I make.

 

Dunmer I usually name after random Lovecraftian horrors, nords I usually look up nordic names, argonians and khajiits I usually just make them up by turning sounds into words, everyone else it just depends.

Leliana. Just Leliana

[Th0raxeIV]

I always name my male characters Thoraxe IV.....unless they are not human them I make another name for them....and my female char are either Cassandra or Slayra (the second is a charecter from a book I love)

Adrynn . . . Always. :D I love that name.

I usually don't put too much effort in coming up with character names, but in the TES games I choose a name that fits with the race and gender (i.e. no Dunmer characters named Sigrid the Terrible :P).

 

If you have trouble coming up with good Nord names, you can always turn to the Icelandic sagas for inspiration. :thumbsup:

I always use names they feel at home in a Medieval European style atmosphere for Elder Scrolls games. In Oblivion and when Skyrim comes out I will be using Scandinavian, Russian, French or German names with actual meaning or something I make up that sounds the part like Sigrun, Kyra, Gelebor, Raikov, Deiter, etc.
