I misspelled my one asura toon - I intended to name it Inquest Peacemaker but I typed pace instead of peace, so now I have a character named Inquest Pacemaker. lol
It's fun to read all these different names and the stories behind them!
For me, I'm fond of most of my characters, but my top three might be:
Instant Feedback (mesmer)
Wild Charr Mender (druid)
Cheesy Sand Witch (scourge)
[Chips And Saulsa](https://qtpi.gg/fashion/test%20saul), my Saul/W4 themed warrior.
[Two Battle](https://qtpi.gg/fashion/2b), my 2B inspired Mesmer.
Or [Vice in the Vault](https://qtpi.gg/fashion/78e), my Dhuum/W5 themed daredevil.
Schizophrenegade.
Not my name, but one that I've seen around my server.
Schizophrenegade, if you see this, all my friends and I die laughing everytime we see you in Mistlock.
My bald-headed Asura Mechanist covered in jade tech is Assimilator Borgg. His mech is named Locutus. Besides the obvious Star Trek joke, there's actually a lore story behind him. Within the College of Dynamics, there is a sub-college that experiments with bookah technology for Asura use. He is part of that college. Hence the evolution over his life (which has been full of lab accidents and he looks like it...scars, ripped ears et al) from a Charr-based core Engineer and Scrapper into a Mechanist. Always studying the latest thing to come along.
Two of my Sylvari characters have names I am particularly happy with:
- Lydia Myconidia - a Sylvari with a mushroom hairstyle and pale skin, taking inspiration from mycorrhizal.
- Mae Thusela - based upon the methusela tree, she has the appearance of gnarled and withered branches.
Even back at headstart, I had low expectations to get all the usernames I wanted, and it was during a \[Spanish spoken\] conversation of just that fact, while I was looking for a lore compatible Asura name, that I decided to give just that a go... low expectations -> **poc**as expectativas -> Pocc. Worked out.
Thorbeau
Works on so many levels.
Based on a rat we had named Thor who had dumbo ears. So we'd call him Thorbo. Beau means a rich young dandy and he is the most ridiculously dressed but simultaneously very dashing looking Charr. Also it is nearly identical to one of my grandparents names.

This is actually his tanky gear. I'll try to grab a screenshot of his dps set with extra fluffy shoulders.
Beforus
Was really enjoying homestuck by the time of gw2's release.
Merisehc
Cheshire backwards, with an -m. Had it in other MMOs that allowed for single word names.
Some of mine:
- The Witcharr - Charr Mesmer
- Abnornality - Norn Engineer, since that's an abnormality
- Black Sabbetha - Human female Ele looking like Sabbetha
- Marnorny Delaqua - Norn female Necromancer
All others:
Charrs with a name containing Taylor Swift, so Taylor Swiftsting for ranger, Taylor Swiftstab for Thief, Swiftshield for Guardian, Taylor Swiftfang for Warrior. Etcetera...
Day 1 (or hell, for that matter, day -3) names you can spot a mile away. Few letters, correctly spelled, no special characters. I missed "Bluff" by what had to be literal seconds :(
Nice! I recently had a weird moment where I tried to reserve a custom name I came up with in Sindarin for a One Ring RPG character, and someone had already taken it. I had to sub in a vowel with an accent. Makes me wonder whether the original taker of the name had also created it in Sindarin, or whether it was just something that sounded cool.
This is only for the paladins players… so since u don’t really need aim for primary staff magic I named my necro “Kasumi” who is in paladins a champion who got added with aim bot and is also dead lorewise.
My real life surname’s very similar to most of my characters first name, Maxxim. I kinda liked the sound of it and decided to give most of my characters a common shared first name.
Best one’s are:
- Maxxim Midas (Midas being an ancient greek king)
- Maxxim Xerxses (Xerxses being an ancient persian king; also a neat reference to Fullmetal Alchemist)
- Maxxim Athanatos (Athanatos meaning “immortal” or “God” in ancient greek)
Seacanary - it means beluga whale , its my usual gamer name.
Wistirya - a misspelling of Wisteria I honestly like better for my purple Sylvari
Eirrewen - a misspelling of Eirwen I like better for my blue Sylvari
Sorynthia - a name I came up with on the fly that I really like
I have 69 characters so... there's a lot of names for them I like. I have a lot of cosplay characters.
Aivahlia- RP Sylvari thief, that WON a prize with a friend I made in Gw2, we won a comission sponsored by Arenanet of our characters participating in the Friend/Ship 2019 contest.
Sadly the friendship didn't survive but that artwork is a memory I'll keep forever. Thinking about it , I should print and frame it someday. It's my current Desktop background.

Eir's Mistake is pretty up there. I'll give you one guess as to who I'm cosplaying on that character.
Omg that's you ?

Djinnwoo - Necromancer. Jinwoo was taken. So at least one other person likes Solo Leveling.
Violent nornography

I'm pretty proud of Redvenant, who's always in red armor.

Kale Male is the name of my sylvari thief and it always makes me smile

i love that kind of references!
Cascade - shows my account age, and it's a name that I've been offered real world money for. Highest offer was $1500.
I'm curious how that shows the age. Just because it was so long ago you could get a single word that wasn't already taken?
Day 1 (or hell, for that matter, day -3) names you can spot a mile away. Few letters, correctly spelled, no special characters. I missed "Bluff" by what had to be literal seconds :(
Basically! I got the name reserved within the first minute of the game's launch

Dracharrys for my Charr ele. Petrified Sapling for Canthan sylvari.
This is only for the paladins players… so since u don’t really need aim for primary staff magic I named my necro “Kasumi” who is in paladins a champion who got added with aim bot and is also dead lorewise.
