GS5 Name Contest
Here is an open contest for forum members: come up with a new champion name!
Rules:
1. Must not be a copy of an existing name--new names only.
2. Must sound like the race from which it comes (Ellelone sounds like a pretty Elven name right? I came up with that one.).
3. It can be a one part name or two part name (Ellelone Fartsinger, for example).
4. Don't take an exiting name and change a few letters, at least don't make it obvious.
Now obviously Fartsinger wouldn't be an elven surname, but Fartsinger could be a halfling or gnome surname, for all we know really.
One-part name example: Welclyn
Two-part name example: Doft Dirtmaker
Aside from this contest, I will be looking into the possibility of having champion names have a randomized first name and randomized sur name, to increase the champion name diversity. Haven't even looked into it yet (at the time of typing).
So there you have it! Come up with a name or two!
Names you create in part, or in whole, will be credited to your name, if added to the mod.

Which race and classes do you need the most names for?
Here's a few off the top of my head:
Snax, burglar, original name
Tancred, paladin, name of a historic crusader
Amorlga, lich, original name, means "nonmoral" and "ga" is a diminutive of "god"

And these are names you've all created without directly taking them from another source?

"Amorlga" is a completely original name that I created, and there's no matches on the Google search, so there doesn't seem to be any "coincidences." I also created "Snax" but there's some cheesy sharing website or something when I googled it. Besides, it doesn't seem to fit the Earth name format. Lastly, "Tancred" is NOT an original name. It was the name of a leader during the First Crusade, the Prince of Galilee(1072-1112). I just think it sounds cool.

I will be compiling these names and prepping them to be added to a future update of LOMSE.

And some very interesting and creative names. Well done.  |

Update: Many of the names listed above were added to the game. Some didn't make the cut, and others were creatively shortened or mildly changed.
- Names with "the" were shortened without the "the" part.
- Some names were shortened, or the ends changed.
With each addition to the game, I have credited the names.
Presently, Elbus has the most additions credited to him. I will be closing this thread in a week or less.
If you have any additional names you'd like to see added, then post here. Credit is given, in the form of in-game comments (not visible within the game, but visible in code).
If you're going to make name suggestions, make them good as well. Also, as per the original post, they must be original.
