Alright, so I'll ask: What do you think about "Lydia Rosewater" as a name?
Before you say Rosewater isn't an Alzhedo surname, her father was from Baldur's Gate so the surname is more in the Chondathan style. (Yeah, like anyone other than me has thought about that.)

Well, the Windwalker part is all Justicar, and I think it rocks. He named my sword that. Korfuji, the Wind Walker, so I took it as the second part of my name. As for the first part, the original PnP version of Manshin, which I came up with almost 10 years ago was named Manshoon. At first, I was confused why nobody would let me play in their servers... then I find that Manshoon is one of the rulers of Zhental Keep! What are the freaking odds? I was partial to it too... oh well. So, now its Manshin, which I have grown acustomed too and prefer.

The funny thing will be when some character with a speech impediment mistakenly says, "Manshoon was in isinhold today. He was carrying a big sword and talking a lot about Banites."

i like lydia. the name has a nice sound to it... as for zelda and it's connection to the windwalker, i can proudly state that i have never played any of the games before, so i don't know what you're talking about...! ;D lmao, manshoon.... i think manshin is better though. and the windwalker tittle that justi added is cool too. didn't the same thing happen to vind? he was named vind al-something. now he's vind, ranger of the grove.

And why does Lydia remind you of it?

"from memory after 4 hrs sleep* It's a story of a kid named Jamie, who has a pair of animal companions "fox" and "owl". Jamie is a descendant of a line of wizard/kings although he doesn't learn of this until later on in the story... As the story begins the boy encounters some goblins in the woods (I believe they were attacking a rooted treant that the boy had also befriended) - chasing after the goblins is a trio of adventurers, Pentegarn (wizard) Lydia (rogue) and Baltek (fighter) - they were pursuing the goblins along the way to the ruined "Pillars of Pentegarn" so that the wizard/king could try to reclaim his throne from the evil force that had wrested it from him...(shadow lich type thing I think) - I could go on, but I don't want to spoil the ending for all of you who are now just dying to go out and get this action packed thriller for yourselves! ;D These "choose your own adventure" books brought me into the D&D world at the tender age of 9. The stories themselves were suprisingly well thought out (until they became successful and started pumping them out like crazy ) Why does this remind me of Lydia? Erm...cuz the Lydia in the book was kind of a "hot & sassy" type if I recall correctly she was rather blunt about things as well!

Back on topic...
I think the BEST names would be Bellathyra, Torian Burrfoot, Kam Malagan, and Jafar Bin Jabr.
Oh, and though his player was a bit cheesy, Valandil Sherwood.
*shrug*
Now that I gave my props, Wht do you guys think of Clotho Clulalen and Luthor Granitegrip?

Clotho i've never really gotten to know so i dont know much of her background or anything. I just recently learned she was a lvl 10 or so monk. Luthor Granitegrip i like, i think granitegrip is a cool dwarf name

torian is definately a great name, but i really don't like her surname 'cause i know a bit about dragonlance... *cough* luthor makes me think of lex luthor... ;D but the surname granitegrip is cool.

not big on the luthor part but the granitegrip is great.clotho sounds far eastren and fits a monk in my eyes.

Hmm, Clotho is the name of the youngest aspect of the Fate's. Clulalen is a name Mr. Baboon made up on the spot. Luthor I just BSed and when I thought about it... I made him bald to match his unintentional namesake. Granite grip on the other hand just came as as stroke of luck, purely off the cuff.
