Hello all,
I don't know if this thread exclusively refers to DII & LoD,
but my favorites are:
Rohirrim - my lvl 86 Bow Amazon [DII]; originally a swathe of land in Tolkien's LotR
Mithrandir - my lvl 85 Javelin Amazon [DII]; originally Gandalfs name in elvish language (yes, I love this book)
Bemn-Zaridaral - my lvl 38 Monk from Hellfire [DI]; completely fictive (anyone had it before? mail me!)
Berkashir-Nimsu - my lvl 12 Rogue who wants Bemns Windforce [DI]; again completely fictive.
As to what concerns DII, I often ended up calling female chars with fictive names ending with the letter 'a'. It somehow appeals to me as being particularly female, for example 'Zharenna' (being an hommage to Zhar the Mad, who was a boss in DI and quite atmospheric)
Others were Novatara, Kumtesla and Infernia. Some of them speak for themselves ;)
Males, I tend to give 'em strong and heroic names (a bit tacky, I know), like:
Lachdanan, Isengardt, Boromir-Dur and Zhangorodrim. Again, you notice I'm inspired by Diablo I and the outstanding book.
I particularly like my Assassins Blackjade and Red-Vex, too :D
Greetings, Fragbait
