Eidinwarda Kroemahctsyn...
WOW who knew an attempt at replicating my real name would result in such a cluster of consonants!
to add some humor I think I'd go with:
Zehnagl Gaezfoetsyn (Toe Nail, Son of Goat Foot)
~Nyaa
It's going to be a tall order to fit most of these Roeg names into the game's character limit for PC names...
Anyways~
If I were to translate Myranda's name I put together Baramoen Syvinstyrwyn for Barren Moon, daughter of Seventh Star because my name is based on a moon of Uranus and one of the stars of the Pleiades ("seven sisters").
I probably won't use that if I make a Roeg alt and instead opt for something original, but there it is.

I would call my Roe like this:
Trachyn (dragon) + fyst (fist)
Gothi (divine) + haemr (hammer) + syn (son)
In other words: Dragonfist, Son of Divine Hammer
Okay so I saw others try to convert their legal name into a Roegadyn name. I'm going to try that now, too.
Including my middle name, my name means: Crown, Dove, Reed Bed -- Crowned Dove of the Reed Bed, if we want to be poetic here.
Excluding my middle name, it means: Crown, Reed Bed.
Let's work with just my forename and my surname. Now, neither crown nor reed could be found in this dictionary, so I went with: Swynraen Grynemurl, or, "Round Circle, Green Wall", "Round Circle of the Green Wall?"
How does that look? I know I'm supposed to have SYN at the end of Grynemurl, but am I really the son of Green Wall? *laughs* Poor guy.
If so: Swynraen Grynemurlsyn
"Round Circle, Son of Green Wall"
ha ha ha ha ha ha!
My roegadyn name is intended to match the personality of my character: Eyriwaen Zirhmusyn
He's a conjurer much more at peace in the woods than in a city, and born under the sign of Oschon, so Eyreiwaen, "Wandering Wind" fits him in many ways. As for Zirhmusyn... I felt like doing something silly for his father's name, so Furious Mouse it is.
Holskthuba Trachahrmsyn
Rho: Greek letter used in physics equations to represent momentum.
Magus: Mage
Asclepiot: Derivation of Asclepius who was known as a healer through snake divination. The Caduceus, which is the staff wielded by the Greek god Hermes, is also referred to as the rod of Asclepius. It's also become synonymous with snake handling. Serpents, snakes, and lizards were synonymous with the word dragon in Ancient times so sometimes the name Asclepius will be translated into English as "Dragon Arm". Super stretch but it's as close as I could get.
Hence, Fast Mage Dragon Arm's son.
I don't think I can come up with one in Sea Wolf for my current name. I'm considering making a Hellsguard though since their names are a lot easier to come up with, and if someone only wants to refer to you by first name it doesn't sound like you have a mouth full of cotton when someone tries to say it.
