If Able, Would You Change Your Name To Meet Racial Conventions?

Heh, mine pretty much fits already. I'm good.

I'm going to use the guides to create one for myself, but it won't be used as my in-game name. I've grown far too fond of the backstory that Baderon was told that I'd prefer to remain anonymous, misunderstood the lalafellin accent coming form the floor of his crowded tavern, and has been introducing me as "Mr. Anony Moose" to everyone in town ever since.

That's.....ADORABLE!

Heh, it is fitting that this was your 1337th post.

Also, thinking about it some more I suppose I could shorten my name a bit and it wouldn't be terrible, but I must admit I'm rather attached to the way it is now, first name especially... Eh... well, no rush to decide I guess.

Oh, and I would appreciate it if you used your real name-there's a special place in the seventh hell for those who use "amusing" aliases.

If I get the option, I'm changing my name to Totomojo Papamojo as my friends call me Mojo anyhow. Though if we can change race, I'm prolly gonna go Roegadyn anyway.

I'm hoping for a race-change to be justified by lore, ie Hydaelyn has stored you as a memory (or 'echo' if you will) and reincarnates you as the being who you feel you are... or something... (convincing your retainers that you're the same person and you want your stuff might be entertaining though).

Luckily cobalt ore originally had the german name Kobold ore to represent 'goblin' ore. So it fits with the germanic roots and doesn't sound too different from the original as well. The only downside is that the beastmen in the Limsa area are called Kobolds... so I would imagine Hyurs calling my character's mother a Kobold instead of a Sea Wolf, and possibly being denied residence at Limsa.

I would most likely have to change the last name completely which I don't mind, I was kind of planning to change it if possible anyways. I'll have to look up the celtic words that fit in with blue hues, or the god's wrath.

How about "Kobold Bloemoensyn" (blue-moon-son)? >:3

Too seawolfish... even though it does sound kind of co-SNEAKY BASTARD I was just reading that. >: (

I'm torn. . . . I like these naming conventions, and they fit my Hyur quite well, plus the name I chose has a very personal meaning as they're both "nicknames" of two real life men who I find fascinating for different reasons. My trouble starts with experiencing really unexpected joy while toying with a male Miqo'te character. Didn't expect I'd like them so much, but can't see my current name fitting my character, in case I do take the hormones and become a member of the feline family .___. Very attached to my name, plus friends call me Nunu which is cute and I'd feel bad for changing it. . . .

I can already see myself sitting 2 hours at least with the character creation open once we get to the point of actually changing our chars permanently >.<

Change race, or don't change race. . . . change name, or don't change name /agony
