How did you all come up with your character names

I got S.L.A.M. from Galaxy Guide 9 : Fragments From The Rim
its a mercenary term meaning :-

S - Searh
L - Locate
A - Annihilate
M - Mission

It fits well with my Ubese Mercenary character.

i go for the list of doom

I stole Ragnar from the video game Rune.
When I decided to make a pirate Ragnar sounded cool.

The mystery of my handle, revealed!

Rathe Ehtar can be found in "The Adventure of Young Sherlock Holmes".

I wanted to use it for a Stormtrooper character, but that never happened...

Orgaloth was something I made up, or got from Drow of the Underdark (TSR). Not sure which, it has been about 6 years since I originally made him. Confused

Roguesquad comes from the books. Hmmm, after everyone else's name origin, mine kinda seems boring Sad

But it's still cool 8) ! Love those space fighters!

SNiPE, hmm had this from hellsa long ago. Back in my FA days I used SNiPE not beacuse it was short for sniper, but because it's a bird that people try to hunt but they can never seem to see or capture one. 8)

I got two words for you, literature! Actually Urhart is my Pen Name (it is an anogram of my middle name, 5 points for anyone who can figure out what it is!! Also there is Lilamiw, that's my first name anogramed).

I also do politics, like my guy named John Lenin.

Esoomian... no big prizes guessing how I came up with that one.

Loc Taal · Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2003 2:15 am Post subject:

I'm not sure where I came up with Loc, but there's a guy named Reglis Taal in Galaxy Guide 10: Bounty Hunters. I wasn't specifically thinking of him when I created Loc Taal, but I'm sure it was there in the back of my mind somewhere. Confused

All of my characters have been made-up to one degree or another.

Example character names that I had:

Saring Darneen - pilot/businessman/entrepreneur
Kedra - assassin, er, security droid
Arad Benarn - Jedi
Lortok - Kungmontadion (made up species based on the Klingons from "Star Trek")
"Rascal" Wraschner - scout
