Arranf 1 Posted January 6, 2011 How do you go about picking names and the like for your characters, accounts and online profiles? I've mainly stuck with my good old trusty username for everything but the times I can't use my name for whatever reason I really struggle. I.E. My gamertag is Arranf 360, hardly the epitome of originality. I'm creating a new Eve account and the Arranf character name was taken a long time ago by a trial account, any suggestions? How would you go about choosing? Share this post Link to post
JoshJayK 16,648 Posted January 6, 2011 JoshJayK is my first and middle name, followed by my last name initial. Before it was Rdy2Killz, when I must have been 10 and thought it was cool. Amicosity is another one I have, because I like oxymorons, so I decided to combine amicable and animosity. Share this post Link to post
XGhozt 410 Posted January 6, 2011 Find keywords and then mix and match it. Start with easy things, like 5 words that describe you, 5 favorite colors, and five favorite things to do. Try to be as creative as possible, but you want something people can easily remember. Share this post Link to post
GhoztMan 219 Posted January 6, 2011 I would go with what XGhozt said. Combine two+ things that are important to you or sound cool, or make up a name. Share this post Link to post

Renegade Angel 1 Posted January 15, 2011 I have to say, choosing a name was one of the hardest things I have had to do. I remember making up this name about 8 years ago. I also remember being pissed when the worst show in the world came up with "Renegade Angel: Xavier." But I do not feel like changing it. The point is, you really have to put a lot of though into what your name should be. But once you find the perfect name you will never need a new one. Good luck to you. Share this post Link to post
ViperSRT3g 224 Posted January 15, 2011 Oh so very true. That, and if you ever need to hide having just one name makes it all the more easier. I've had this name for about 7 years now. Share this post Link to post
Renegade Angel 1 Posted January 16, 2011 hahaha I love your way of thinking. I do tend to change my name to one that is more widely used when I don't want to talk to certain people in games. It also helps you build something like an online personality. In any game you go people will sometimes recognize you. Share this post Link to post
