A collection of "best & worst" SWTOR names :

I often use named like "Thalos" or similarily greek-sounding (
) names for male characters in fantasy RPGs.
However, in DDO, all character names end with "-adaram" or with "-aram", beginning with "
Alrikadaram". One SWTOW character was named "
Harakadaram", which is one of my DDO characters, too.
The SWTOR character generator sometimes comes up with really weird combinations, such as "Quitunall", as far as I can remember it. I even made a screenshot of that weird name. A fellow SWTOR player actually uses this name.
My imho best SWTOR character creation was the name of "
Tiass'yrên". I had played a LONG time with that name to get it into
that shape !
My main SWTOR character has the name of "
Wrw", however, and people often don't like it, anbd often have difficulties pronouncing it, as well.
This character came to be as the name of an WEG-based Ithorian land-worker (someone who helps farmers, for example, and travels from place to place seeking work), and I had made up his full name as "Wrw Dungon", then. The first name ("Wrw") was meant to sound like a grinding sound from a mortar (that thing in which you crush and pulverize spices for cooking, for example). It was supposed to be an unique Ithorian "word", a sound that only Ithorians are fu8lly able to produce.
This character was made with the pen & paper WEG material (West End Games, the first Star Wars role-playing rules license) for a small series of pen & paper role-play sessions in the 90s. For me, it was kind of an honour to transfer it into SWTOR … Little did I know of the hatred and the irritation it would get … Someone even outright said in the open SWTOR chat (in-game) that only an game master "with something with his brain" would have allowed such a name - which is a clear insult to our game master we had during our pen & paper play … I was sometimes even met with the threat that that name was "not according to the game's rules/laws", when I had criticised a player, which is basically a blackmail (one player who had written that to me was someone who had written in the SWTOR in-game chat about the bad work of other players in PvP that "some people had better been aborted" - showing that this player was really aggressive and then tried to blackmail me because he couldn't stand my remark that his chat reply wasn't polite at all …).
