I'm not saying people should create these long-ass completely original out-of-the-blue names, but look at my names - I'm 'RafoieAdept' in an MMO, taking Rafoie from Phantasy Star Online (Best fire skill, my personal favorite), and using Adept as a way to say "I'm a fire master." Yes, he's a Fire Mage. I have a Bowman called "Kazebolt", or "Bolt of the Wind" in a mixed language. :P If I knew the term for that in Japanese I would have added the entire thing. I even created an original name for myself a long time ago called "Garu." No last name, because it normally changed a lot. And this was not taken from the name 'Garr' in Breath of Fire 3, I made the name before that game came out :P
What are all of your opinions on unoriginal names in MMOs?
Thank you Elriel! :D

Mine aren't original though at least they are the original names instead of taking a name and hacking it.

I'll admit to making Harry Plotter in City of Villains, though. It was worth it.

Names like t-- wait.
GENIUS. XD
Anyway, I really don't think names like that are bad. I just hate people who add "XxNAMEHERExX" or zZ/Zz and numbers after/before their name just so they have a certain name in there.
Thank you Elriel! :D

Anywho, yeah, I hate it when people don't take the time to think of a good name instead of taking some name from an anime or movie or whatever and adding xX or putting numbers. D: That is lame indeedy.

And Fran, yours is still hilarious because when I see it it makes me imagine a Franny in Elise's clothing. XD
My name's just my online alias, 'Xero', added with a Wright at the end. The whole backstory thing didn't kick in until quite a while later.
Down at DGEmu forums, I actually snagged the display name "Phoenix Wright". It's still that, I'm pretty sure.
Thank you Elriel! :D

I wonder why.
I first used it in Runescape because everything else was taken and then it stuck.
I think I was 12 when I did this, so I've used it for a long time.
It's annoying, it doesn't feel like "my" name... Maybe I should change.

Personally, any name that's not filled with nonsequential letters (i.e. fnai) or has xX/Zz/2743 before or after it, it's a perfectly original name as long as it's not blatantly taken from an overused thing, like Naruto.
So yours is pretty original, from what I see.
Thank you Elriel! :D

It's quite an effective way of weeding out the not-so-smart people, that's for sure.
Anyway, I usually don't care about someone's handle much. But repeat names do get irritating.
That's partially why I'm known as Millini.

) sometimes I see like "-o" or "-as" or a repeatable letter like "Hurrsane" (I think someone pointed that out earlier). I don't see numbers often anymore, thank god. Oh, and I have seen many instances (though they don't last too long obviously) when characters would yell in the game with names like "Hursanesucks" or has an obscenity at the end, most of the time spelled incorrectly to fool the name filter.Pretty bad...

I think you're the second person ever to comment on my name...
Actually, when I first joined, I thought about making a sprite of Franziska with a beret and smock like Laurice's for my avatar, but I couldn't pull it off. I guess I could always ask someone to make it for me, but that would mean no more Busty Iris and, well...

Well basically I pretty much keep consistency with my names...so to say, use the same thing in everything I played, but change a word or part to differentiate (same for my passwords pretty much). Like...that game in which you tell someone something, and after hundreds of people, you check to find out if the wording change drastically when it gets back to you.
Abusing my computer with countless downloads of MMOs/RPGs to try (with only 2 with me still being regularly active in), I quit changing the usernames after the first three installs so that's where the whole idea came from.

"Telephone." ^_^ That's a cool way to do things. I've always been Tajiri Ami or some close variation wherever I go.
I hate really annoying sounding original fantasy names like Fa'Runalia or something similarly pretentious.

For those unfamiliar, a podkill is a huge setback since you have to go back to a clone that's generally several thousand skill points lesser than where you were.
I generally try to pick a roleplay name, even if I have no intention of roleplaying. Although for a while on Ragnarok Online I went around as XxNARUTOxSASUKExX, and that was kind of amusing.

I actually never really had any trouble with finding an unused name in that game so far. As long as you can think of something that isn't completly obvious (The Void for example I bet will have been taken, and you'll get laughed at if you go in as "Wulvurene") you should be in good shape.

But as far as the internet goes, I always use the username "quandtuniverse". Then when I tried making an AIM account, I found out it was already taken o_O Who would want that name aside from me?

He ends his name in 000012 because he's number 12! Anyway, Karma humor aside...
I don't like unoriginal names, especially using Cloud, Sephiroth, Altair, Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, or any variations of those.
This is why I stick with a few names that nobody uses (most have first and last names as well)
Ginkan Minaev (Ginkan from .hack//SIGN, Minaev being the last name of the main antagonist in Front Mission 3)
Iwato Tatsumaki (The name Iwato just popped into my head (Which I later reasearched into and refers to the entryway into a cave) and I used the name Tatsumaki (literally, "Tornado")to throw the English-speaking Narutards off because it sounds so much like their precious protagonist.)
Hakuro de Killer (Hakuro was to be the combined romaji of White and Black. I went to research later to find that Hakuro meant "Morning Dew", and I just stuck with it. Also, if you don't know where the suffix "de Killer" is from, you need to play JFA again.)
Pesmerga Galanodel (My first semi-original RP character. Pesmerga taken from the Suikoden character of the same name and Galanodel taken from the Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook list of Elvin last names, Galanodel being Moonlight, I believe.)
Humphrey (Taken from one of my favorite Suikoden characters, Humphrey Mintz.)
...and that's all of them that I can recall and yet, nobody at the game shop has ever had an opening for a tabletop RPG for me as they always fill up before i get there... T_T

I usually try to go for original names, but I found that there's already a "haibaran" on Yahoo. XD
Haibara~n is a play on the "Nyoro~n" meme, but with a common Meekins typo(because the original Japanese name, Harabai, didn't sound as good).
But I have to admit, one of my earlier usernames was "xrokkuriix"(romaji of Rock Lee's Japanese name with Xs to either side). I feel like such a derpy weeaboo, hahaha.
